Last year's Hop Harvest by these honorary pioneers of Belgian craft brewing 'avant la lettre', 75 cl bottle shared with Craftmember, Meeki and Goedele. Thick and rocky, egg-white, cobweb-lacing, stable head on a cloudy peach blonde beer with ochre tinge. Aroma of freshly cut dandelions, mugwort, unripe peach, tonic water, wormwood, bitterroot, mandarin, rusk, dry bread crust, clove, grapefruit peel, vague apricot. Fruity onset, hints of peach, green pear and light persimmon, dryish with medium carbonation, soft fluffy body; bread-pulp-like malts, soggy cereals with early and very powerful 'raw green' hop bitterness quickly dominating, long, rooty, tonic- and wormwood-like, very long, leafy and drying, severe even, yet remaining colourful and flavourful, with earthy notes lingering beyond. More rooty bitter and astringently hoppy even than what I remember from previous editions, but again delivering what it promises and completely in line with this brewery's three decades of history in brewing anti-sweet beers. De Ranke never disappoints.
