33cl can, BB 17/12/2026.
Léger dorée/orange, col crémeux blanc assez tenace.
Arôme sur une bonne base IPA, pas mal sur les malts - léger cara pâle, pils, agrumes dont le pamplemousse/pomelo, tout en ayant une petite pointe de malté qui demeure en support.
Palais sur un caractère très 'old school' IPA, belle base maltée rappelant une période de Rogue, Lagunitas et Dogfish.
Amertume plaisante, fruité allant vers le pamplemousse rose, petite touche de poivre de Sichuan sans le côté umami/épicé, note de baies vertes.

Medium, stable white head over clear darker golden beer with fine carbonation. Sweet citrus, almonds, amandine, peach, somewhat liqueurish, rosewater. Oxydation, oxydated malts (BBd + 2 months!), dark & dry malts and bread. Again almonds, rosewater. Light (?!) to medium bodied, good carbonation, quite slick. Ho-hum. Txs to Stef!

Pours a darker blonde. Unclear, malty, bit yellow fruity hops. Mild dankness. Taste is mildly bitter, bit grassy. Fairly sharp, due to the bitterness, but also quite creamy body. Not bad at all. Fresh feeling to it.

Can from Hopduvel. Clear orange, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of ripe mango, orange peel, old biscuit, pine, onion, vague rainwater, stale grapefruit juice, vague sweaty sock. Taste has sweetish old mango, peach & apple over a biscuity malt base with spicy & dank notes and a yeasty effect. Herbal hoppy finish, somewhat piney, old fruit & yeast notes returning. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Drinkable but needs some polishing.

11/V/22 - 33cl can from the brewery, shared @ Johan’s Goodbye BBQ at work, BB: ?/2023 (2022-494)
Clear orange blond beer, big creamy yellowish head, stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, sweet impression, some caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, grains, hoppy, very malty, a bit grassy, a little fruity. Aftertaste: a bit fruity, malty, some tropical fruits, hoppy, a bit resinous, ok. Not great. Was expecting more from the Simcoe hops…
