NEIPA (hopped with Citra and Simcoe) from this new craft brewing initiative in the Hainaut province. Can from some online shop I guess - I really cannot recall where I bought it. Slight gusher, but nothing to go all dramatic about. Very foamy, inches thick, cobweb-lacing, creamy, egg-white head, difficult to pour without immediately filling the glass; hazy ochre- to beige-tinged blonde robe. Aroma of lemongrass, green mango, lime peel, freshly cut thistles or hogweed, dried dandelion leaf, old bread, wet brown cardboard, dough, iron. Fruity onset, quite crisp actually, hints of unripe banana and apple peel, vague pineapple hint perhaps, lively carb, smooth body; doughy, 'old-bready', chewy malts, dried by zesty citric hoppiness also adding lemon verbena, some mango and a vague background touch of passionfruit - too vague, as the eventual bitterness, also yeasty in nature, last for much too long to maintain the NEIPA intentions. I do not have the impression that this perfectly turned out the way it was intended to be, but admittedly storage circumstances were not ideal either so I will take that into account and not be too harsh here; meritorious attempt at a very non-Belgian and very postmodern beer style, ending up in, again, something better characterized as "Belgian IPA" than true "New England IPA".

Clear yellow, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of ripe peach, pineapple, lychee, melon, pine, honey, lime juice; Taste has sweet peach, lychee & melon, softly bitter mango & pine over honey maltiness. Floral hoppy finish, bitter pine &stonefruit, lingering sweet juicy citrus. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Decent but pretty mild.
