Perfectly fine IPA. Approaches the WC style but doesn’t quite nail it. Some pleasant candied citrus, sun-kissed malts, mellow bitterness, piney accents, pale bread. Highly drinkable gear on the whole. Belgian-brewed IPAs have come a long way over the years.

(Draught at Moeder Lambic Original, Brussels, 20 Oct 2023) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of grapefruit, orange peel, pine needles, crisp-bread and a touch of resin. Fruity, hoppy taste with orange peel, grapefruit, resin, pine needles, crisp-bread and a generous citric/piney bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Generous hop presence, with a solid, dry bitterness. Very nice.

Can at home from Malt Attacks, Brussels, 1st January 24. Pours a clear golden ale. Aroma is citrus, pine. Taste is bitter, caramel and pine, roasted malts, burnt sugar, some candied orange peel. Decent and different

8 April 2023. At Brasserie Surréaliste. Shared with the lovely Anke!
A: clear golden, small, white head.
A: cheese, sweaty feet, onion, dank pineapple, mango.
T: sweet pineapple, melon, dank onion & cheese.
F: piney hops, dank fruit, spices, bitter grapefruit.
P: medium body, oily texture, average carbonation.
Decent but lacks some structure for all that dankness.

Draft @ Surréaliste partagée avec Tim, Klaas, Simon & Erwin, merci!
Pâle dorée, col blanc crémeux.
Arôme sur un nez plutôt classique - west coeat de bonne facture qui rappelle les prémices de ce style - ici, un bouquet généreux en malts avec un rétro-nasal houblonné dont pas mal de résineux avec une petite note de douceur tropical/coco en retrait. Cependant, la base maltée reste plus présente.
Palais est sur un malté plaisant avec des pointes de carael le tout ponctué par un houblonné classique US côté ouest californien d'antan. Léger sur le résineux, sève de sapin.

Quite huge, dense, bit yellowish head over still, darker-golden clear beer. Fresh hops with fruity and blossomy fragrance; passion fruit, rosepetals, citrus, starfruit, lunaria. Mild bitterness, rather sweet-fruity, but also other grains, malty. Nowhere bitter enough for being called West Coast IPA - which it does on the label. Medium bodied, feels better carbonated than it looks; quite (oily)slick. Nicd nose, but the main flavour comes over as 'been there, done that' - let alone WCIPA.
