Bottle at Het Mouterijtje Kortrijk. Clear deep gold colour lasting white head .Apparently the last of these beers. Weird glass. Orange aroma. Smells of Lucazade. Tastes of Lucazade. Wild. Stupid silly sweet but also fun. And drinkable

Blonde apparently aged on wood chips and flavoured with bitter oranges, in an attempt to evoke something abstractly picon-like for the summer days. Moussy, off-white, membrane-lacing, stable head, misty peachy-orange blonde robe. Aroma of very strong fresh oranges (bitter or not) and orange peel, orange zest even, mandarin, orange bread, ginger powder, peach, dry earth, hints of dry leather, clove and puddle water. Sweet but quite crisp onset, peach and some guava but primarily a whole lot of orange, medium carbonated with minerally effects, moving into a bread-crusty, bit cracker-like maltiness, dry in itself, but strongly sweetened by a truckload of that orange ingredient, even a bit 'milky' in a way; spicy phenolics (clove) join in but woodiness as such remains all but absent. Some lingering earthy hop bitterness at the back as well as an odd chalky note and, again, lots of lingering orange. One of the most orange-dominated beers I ever had at least in a Belgian ale context, orange-juicy almost, with a weird contrast between dryness and sweetness; I do not, however, get a true 'picon feel' from it and as usual with Gigant, it contains some odd and unbalanced flavours which still fail to convince me of this brand. Weird, but altogether interesting, like most of their output...

Two bottles while watching the European Champions League Final in 't Monk, Brugge on 10th June 2023. Really pleasant beer all round, light haze in the orange body, white head. Orange aroma and taste, other flavours and esters also, but mostly orange like.

Pours a hazy, darker blonde (still, fairly light for an amber ale) . Medium small white head. Scent is over-the-top orange to me (and zesty, loads of that white 'in between skin' ) grapefruit like. OP'ing all beer-basic elements. Don't really get anything woody here. Taste is fairly bitter, malty base far more recognizable here - but oranges still take up most of the taste. Sweet, but enough bitterness to prevent it from being cloying. Medium body, medium to medium high carbo. OK, decent, but surely to much oranges, and a bit to swet for me. The base seems surprisingly boring, as this is the third beer I had by them, but a let-down after the 2 previous ones. Still, kudo's for trying at least something different than IPA / Blonde / tripel / dubbel within the first 4 beers.

Rusty dark orange colour. Really has the profile of orange flavoured herb liqueur. Technically good but not my taste.

Bottle 33cl. @home poured into a teku glass. Clear deep amber colour, small frothy off-white head, mostlly diminishing, light lacing. Aroma orange, Fanta lemonade, herbal hops. Taste medium sweet and light bitter, malty, orange, spicy and herbal notes, continues retronasal. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, fruity sweetbitter aftertaste, growing vermout-like and lingering herbal bitterness, orange peel, interesting brew, nice aperitif beer.

28 August 2021. At Bier van Ollier Festival, Sijsele. Cheers to Anke, mom, dad & Dirk!

Clear amber, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of biscuit, red apple, red grape, caramel, raisin. Taste has sweet apple, orange & grape over caramelly maltiness, bit syrupy, leaning towards 'Fanta' even, but balanced by a herbal hoppy bittereness & orange peel; though red fruit & yeast linger into the finish. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Interesting & enjoyable starting beer by this new brewery.
