Sampled as 'IPA Hop' of which I can only assume it's a beer that changes names every now and than - and is essentially the same. Pours lightly hazed, darker blonde. Medium white head. Scent is mild, fairly herbal, EU style hops. Taste is sharp, bit bitter, feels old - way to old to participate at a beerfestival, where the brew company and its beers are represented by Mr Vermeersch himself. Did he not try his own beers before? Does he not know about off flavors like those provided by to much age / temperature differences? Or does he simply not care, or respect his customers enough to refrain from selling and representing stuff like this ? High carbonation, medium body. not very hoparomatic. Decent at best, but the severe lack of freshness really bothered me.
