Appropriately named as when we brewed this Belgian IPA most of our staff were either self isolating or off sick so it made for an exciting brew day. Our take on a Belgian IPA features Belgian Ardennes yeast which brings classic spicy flavour and aroma with a hint of earthiness and Belgian funk. Hopped generously with Columbus, Amarillo, German Tettnager and Citra for tons of citrus, grapefruit and old school herbal hop character. Brewed with a stripped back malt bill of 95% lager malt for a lovely refreshingly crisp finish. A crisp, citrus forward hoppy beer with beautiful Belgian character that provides a twist and something a bit different in a sea of hazy IPAs.

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Crocheted lacing from a steady white top head, golden-orange body, hazy. Herbal hops and grass on the nose. Blended saison fruity flavours, hints of peaches and citrus, lightly spiced. Smooth bitterness to the ending. Fine depth. Likable. (Tromsø 03.04.2022).

Can from CentrAle. Hazy golden body with a few flecks floating beneath a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of straw and tinned orange. Flavour of salted grapefruit and candied orange peel. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. S43 are one of my favourite breweries - their beers are always full flavoured and interesting.

Can from Hydrology. Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, faint spice. Taste is bitter, ripe pineapple. Nite getting much Belgian influence, except perhaps on the dry finish.
