17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Clear golden with a lasting, small, foamy, white head; slowly thinning away. Aroma of grapefruit peel, ripe peach, pineappel, mango, yellow apple, pepper, lime. Taste is light to medium fruity sweet, 'classic' apple mixing with 'tropical' pineapple & peach; bready maltiness supporting bitter grapefruit & orange peel, with an edge of spices & sourish lime. Bit of a yeasty character developing in the dry, floral hoppy finish where orange & grapefruit linger; subtle dash of triple sec-like alcohol. Medium body, slick-oily texture, soft carbonation. Slightly underwhelming for its genre.

Spanish DIPA hopped with Simcoe and Mandarina Bavaria, tasted at the metal bar section of the tenth Gents Bierfestival. Snow white, medium thick, cobweb-lacing, stable head over a hazy orange-tinged peach blonde beer. Aroma of fresh orange zest, pink grapefruit, mandarin, wormwood, melon, fried potato chips, paprika powder, gin, biscuit, some pine resin. Sweetish-fruity onset in a cleanish way, mango, lychee, papaja, orange, medium carbonated with a soft, bit oily mouthfeel; soft caramelly and biscuity malt body soaked in very citric, spicy hoppiness, providing a colourful orange-like zestiness as well as sufficient bitterness to deserve the ‘old school’ tag the brewer attached to this beer himself. Zesty, boozy finish, the hop bitterness briefly highlighted by gin-like alcohol. Very ‘orangey’ IPA, softer still than the old school West Coast DIPAs upon which it is inspired, but a very highly drinkable beer in any case and among the best In Peccatums I had so far.

Short-lived white head over hazy ochre beer. Ureum-rich hosp, on top of sweetish soft drink. Bitterish, bananapeel, lemonpeel, if not very sourish. Bit cheesy, one more. Some astringency, slick, hopoil-wise. Low carbonation. Not a gem in its style.

Tap at Koht. Pours amber. Aroma and flavor are sweet and bitter, hoppy, fruity, citrus, malt. Overall: okish.
