The base is always a blond beer (6,5% abv), but we use different hops every year, for fun. This year, we stay in Germany with a mix of recently developed varieties. Its nose is fruity (bergamot, peach) and floral (daffodils) at the same time. In the mouth, these flavors become longer and more intense, and they are joined by a nice malty base. A new floral and eucalyptus touch harmoniously complete the picture, which is structured by a well-pronounced bitterness that reinforces its freshness. In the finale the fruity accents melt into a long and dry bitterness. Connaisseurs know that its beautifully hazy look reveals that this beer has been massively dry-hopped!

330 ml, bottled 11 Jan 22. Amber, moderate hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, off-white head. Aroma of grass, flowers, lemon, stone fruits, orange, spices, some pine, some dough. Tastes quite similar, spicier, with a sweet malt body. Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes bitter, medium dry, spicy, citric, a bit sweet-fruity, with long-lasting pine. Still very nice, although it isn't fresh at all, with quite a lot of spicy hop notes, fresh fruits and a pleasant malt body. Very quaffable, characterful stuff, as every vintage. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 15

On tap in Den Toogoloog, Middelkerke on 11th September 2022. Hazy golden pour, snow white crown. Malty, yeasty and semi-bitter all at the same time, some fruitiness in there too; liked it.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 9 May 2022) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, orange peel, apricots and spicy hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, spices, clove, grapefruit peel and a generous spicy/herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Really fresh and tasty with a good herbal hop presence. Very nice.

10 April 2022. At 14de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!

Clear ochre, thin, white head. Aroma of fresh pineapple, peach, tangerine, phsyalis, lemongrass. Taste has sweetish peach & pineapple, sourish citrus, decent bready maltiness. Grassy, bit floral hoppy finish, flowery, bit yeasty, lingering citrus flesh and unripe stonefruit. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Fresh, refreshing, and recognisable as a 'Belgian IPA'. Very good.

Bottle @ Kihoskh, Copenhagen. Pours hazy golden with a white creamy stable head and lacings. Dandelions, grass, citrus and pomelo. Superb. Short bitter finish. Crisp. Boom.

Flaska från SB. Ny BC = en av årets höjdpunkter. Mer citrusdriven än jag minns med lime, bergamott, stenfrukt, marsipansötma och en riktig snygg citrusoljig beska. Kroppen mjuk och krispig. Lika bra som vanligt. Mycket gott

Flaska från SB. Varmgul, disig med hög och fluffig vit krona. Fruktig, blommig och lite jästig doften, drar åt citrus/bergamott/lite nektarin. Riktigt mjuk och fin kropp. Blommigt och lite örtigt i smaken med riktigt bra beska som trycker på ordentligt. Mycket gott.
