27/III/21 - 33cl bottle from a trade, shared @ home, BB: 2nd Q/IV/20 (2021-226) Thanks to Bierridder_S for the trade!

Clear bright gold orange beer, big cream off-white irregular head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: clean acidity, lemony, grapefruit, lactobacillus, slightly malty, bit oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: nice acidity, bit lemony, some grapefruit, little bitter, bit grassy, metallic touch. Aftertaste: grapefruit, soft bitterness, fruity, lemon juice, some orange peel, little oxidized, decent enough. My bad, this was from a lost box of beer that I recently found again...

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours clear dark golden with a lasting, thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of mango, kiwi, peach, young mandarin, lemon zest, yoghurt, cheese, pineapple. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of peach, pear & pineapple revolving around a sour core of gooseberries, apple, young tangerine & lemon with a wheaty edge, somewhat yoghurty & bready too. Faint bitter pine & stonefruit lead the way to a dryish finish, tart & bready, lingering sour kiwi, slightly floral hoppy. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Interesting hybrid, balanced & quenching.

Golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have dry and floral hop notes with a little citrus too. Citrusy lemony sharpness.

One of the recent 'official' BBPs, a sour IPA with the malt bill and lactic bacteria reminiscent of a Berliner Weisse, but hopped like an IPA, featuring New World classics Cascade, Citra, Mosaic, Centennial and Columbus. Medium thick, frothy, mousy, egg-white, slowly opening but generally well-retaining head, lightly hazy amber-tinged warm orange blonde robe with enthusiastic sparkles everywhere. Aroma dominated by the hops, initially very much IPA but showing its Berliner Weisse side more clearly when warming up, yielding impressions of stale lime juice, yuzu flesh, herb cheese, stewing onion, toasted shallot, cheese rind, old dry orange peel, chalk, bread crust, earth, brown soap and a persistent whiff of stale sweat. Crisp, sour onset, refreshingly brisk but not harshly puckering or vinegary, more of a fruity acidity even if no fruit was added, reminiscent of lime, green gooseberry, hard apple and unripe pear, lactic in a fresh, not overly yoghurty sense, medium carbonated with light but unmistakable minerally effects; slick, rather soapy wheat body, white bread with an old cracker-like edge to it, gently dried by the sourness, somewhat 'dusty' in the finish with a chalky-soapy aspect clearly aligning with its Berliner Weisse side, but also with a herbal, bit cheesy, dry citrus peel-like hop bitterness that lingers alongside the ongoing lactic sourness. Retronasal hop aroma is a tad 'dank' and very oniony, with citric effects that are enhanced by the sourness, in a dry, citrus peel-like way. Ends gently sour, mildly bitter, a bit bready and chalky. If you believe that 'sour IPA' is a thing, then by all means, call it that way; from a more analytic perspective, however, I think it is more accurate to regard this as a Berliner Weisse hopped like a classic 'international style' IPA. Hoppy sour more than sour hoppy, this is an interesting beer that manages to keep its somewhat schizophrenic nature under control, with the both the sourness and the hoppiness remaining sufficiently soft not to clash too harshly with one another. The question does, however, remain whether an IPA hoppiness fits well into a style that historically - like most traditional sour beer styles - was anything but hoppy. For some this combo works, and I see no immediate reason why it wouldn't, but I cannot entirely get rid of the impression that somehow at the back of this beer, the hops and the lactic acidity do not get along all too well. Ambiguous beer, but refreshing and tasty enough to be enjoyable.

33cl bottle from the brewery. F: no real. C: deep gold to amber, light hazy. A: tangerine, orange, bit passion fruits, sour fruity touch. T: orange, grapefruits, bit sour fruity, bit tropical fruits, bit earthy, aroma is nice yet taste is bit weird for me even for connection of two styles, medium body and carbonation, yet still enjoyable.
