Dankzij de toevoeging van onder andere havermout krijgt dit bier toch een afgeronde, aangename body. De fijne maar ook pittige bitterheid geeft Cruise in a Cadillac veel karakter, waardoor het nog steeds een frisse IPA blijft. In de neus krijgen we frisse en exotische hoparoma’s van mandarijn, passievrucht en citrus.

Good, very lightly yellowish, rather dense head, fed by fine pearling in orangey golden beer, lightly veiled. Banana, chamomille, fresh tealeaves; hints of coriander and other grains. Lightly sourish, as from wheat, the sourishness raised by the very present carbonation. Some dried herbs as chamomille and again some grains. Really light body, just short of watery, but really refreshing. And yet another very attractive session ale.

28/VII/22 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Ardenne Holiday, BB: 13/V/25 (2022-951)
Clear blond beer, big creamy bit irregular white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very floral, a bit soapy, malty, grains, pretty underwhelming for the pioneer brewers of one of the first IPAs in Belgium... MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, a bit grassy, very malty, grains, dry, malty, meh. Aftertaste: very bitter, fruity touch, bitter, grassy, floral, soapy, hoppy, hay, a bit metallic, very disappointing.
