Collab with Malting Pot. Aji Amarillo & lime Gose.

Pour cette collab avec notre ami Sam du Malting Pot, nous avons choisi l'alliance démoniaque piment, citron vert et sel. Après de nombreux essais, nous avons jeté notre dévolu sur le piment Aji Amarillo au goût fruité et au piquant modéré. Ca glisse...et puis ça pique....

Can obtained from La Fruitiere, Brussels and sampled on Eurostar en route to London 9th Nov 2025. Pours yellow with not much foam. Does what it says on the tin. Nice lime chili vibes with a salty bash on the finish. Light to moderate chili tingle.

Kolor słomkowo żółty z delikatnym zmętnieniem. Piana biała, wysoka i dość trwała. Delikatnie oblepia szklankę.
Aromat kwaskowy, cytrynowy i kwiatowy jednocześnie.
Smak kwaskowy i pikantny (ostry, drapiący). Zdecydowanie jest tu limonka i chili.
Wysycenie średnie w górę. Tekstura niemal gładka. Ciało średnie w dół. Posmak długi kwaskowy, papryczkpwa ostrość delikatnie "drapie" gardło.

Draught Vieled orangeish yellow beer with a good, very dense & fine snowwhite head, lacey. All of the ingredients immediately obvious: mineral, lime, chili. Dry piment powder. Lime and backthroat immediately capsaicine burn, spreading gradually unto the lips. Some lactic acid; unfortunately after a few sips all that remains is the chili. Light body, not very carbonated. As to the rest: see above. "Velen zijn geroepen, weinigen uitverkoren" when it comes to the dosing of chili. Missed.

Bottle picked up from Le Comptoir beer store, Brussels and consumed sat outside at Isobel and Jude's, Spond, Herefordshire, Tuesday 10th June 2025 in the company of Dad, Pauline, Isobel and Jude. Pours hazy, murky yellow with some yeasty floaters. Exceptionally tart and happy, very tangy and it's quite hard work. There was no head. Dry finish, yeah this is not my thing. As Loz correctly states far too acidic.

Quite spicy! Lime is subtle. Wheaty. Fun. Lot more lime with the second sip.

(Draught at Le Barboteur, Brussels, 16 Oct 2024) Hazy pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, herbal nose with white bread, lime, grass and bell peppers. Fruity, slightly tart taste with notes of lime, herbs, nettles, white bread and a good chilli heat in the finish. No bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Interesting, really tasty with a generous chilli heat. Very nice.
