Newish beer from the Hallelujah guys, who got a dreamed amount of exposure in Amazon Prime's Beermasters show; this one is brewed at nearby Paenhuys. Slow gusher (possibly hop creep in this case) so be ware when opening. Irregularly shaped but initially thick and frothy, pillowy, plaster-lacing, off-white, slowly diminishing head over a hazy to eventually cloudy ochre-blonde robe with less attractive beige hue. Aroma of freshly ground white pepper, freshly cut sharp chili peppers even, yellow grapefruit and grapefruit peel, dry crackers, deep-fried parsley, unripe peach, pepino, green pear, straw bale, green olive, white bread dough, dry earth. Dryish onset, green fruitiness of unripe banana, pear and apricot, all very restrained in sweetness, medium carbonated; slick mouthfeel, cracker- and dry white bread-like malts with cereally core (breakfast cereals) under quickly growing spicy, very grassy and lightly citric hoppiness, with wormwood- and grapefruit peel-like associations, in a rather earthy manner especially when the spicy earthiness of the yeast comes in. More than anything, however, this beer is dominated by an extremely severe hop burn, to the extent that it seriously hinders drinkability - as if someone emptied a whole pepper-caster of white pepper in a blonde ale. This peppery burn lasts and lasts, I had effects like this in IPAs before but this is by far the most extreme case I ever came across - so I would not order this one for several rounds, even downing one 33 cl bottle is quite a challenge (and will not be physically possible for many people, in my opinion). Seemingly intended as a hazy IPA, it looks unattractively murky and beige too, and completely lacks those wonderful tropical fragrances a decent hazy IPA should exude. Technically flawed, clearly - sorry guys, this is not what the contemporary craft beer drinker expects from any type of IPA, I'm afraid... Needs to be redone from the bottom up, if you ask me.
