Reizen is voor velen een grote passie en ook daar kun je je biergewijs laten inspireren. Met als insteek "think out of the box" kwam dit bier tot stand.
Jasmijnbloesems als partner in crime van hop. De verfijnde, delicate aroma's en smaken komen tot een mooie balans in de fles en maken daarom deze creatie zo bijzonder.

Blonde aromatized with jasmin, brewed at Fort Lapin for a hobby brewer (Bart Dewulf) going commercial under the name Hops Meet Friends; bottle from Restaurant-Traiteur Toulouse in Ghent. Gusher, foam bursting into a towering high, very bath foam-like, dense, egg-white, firmly remaining head; hazy yellow blonde robe with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of halfripe banana, coriander seed, raw turnip, indeed a whiff of blossoms but more reminiscent of sweet melon and apple blossom than actual jasmin, old potato mash, green pear, honey, damp straw, minerals, vague touch cumin seed (probably just that jasmin again). Sweet onset, banana and pineapple ester with a touch of ripe pear, lively carbonated, supple body; pale malt-bready core, cereally, with some honeyish residual sweetness on top, finishing with powdery coriander seed effects and some grassy hops, along a hint of warming alcohol (very badly hidden at this modest ABV) and that blossomy effect of jasmin, again not very jasmin-like but more like sweet apple and something herbal. Nothing technically wrong here apart from the gushing perhaps, but again an utterly stereotypical blonde with a twist neither sophisticated nor strong enough to convince me. Rather boring, in all, and not my cup of (jasmin or other) tea...

Dark blond colour with lasting thin head. There's definitely Jasmine in the aroma. Pleasant, not overpowering. It's detectable in the taste too, slightly less so. Pleasant enough. Would like to see how Jasmine would stand out in a different beer style. Behind this one is just a basic but competent Blond.

Hazy blond colour, white foam. Lively carbonation. Nose of citrus, sweet malts, herbs, floral. Taste is floral, medium bitter, some sweetness.

Lci. Bit too carbonated... Waltzing helps. For me very saison like... Nice.
