Bottle at Hell Hunt, Tallinn - hazed up orange pour with a white head. Fruity with notes of grapefruit and mango, some peachy accents, slight herbal and floral nuances throughout, yeasty note, medium body, a tad bitter into the finish.

18/VIII/18 - on tap @ Gents Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2018-1046) Thanks to the Belgian Ratebeer crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear bright yellow beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit fruity, some tropical fruits, citrus touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, sugary, banana touch, alcohol, hoppy, bit resinous. Aftertaste: bit hoppy, more hoppy, weird? Citrus, sweet malts, bitter, some grapefruit.

33cl bottle from Sip, Tartu. Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Fruity and slightly yeasty aroma with hints of malt, herbs and light citrus. Moderate to medium sweet with fairly mild fruity flavours and medium bitter finish. As the first one - Quite refreshing and enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Fakey! on 04 Aug 2018 at 19:18 - Score: 6

330 ml bottle from SIP. Pours beautiful golden with some foam. Seems that hops are perhaps not crucial for the foam formation. Nose is sourish, somewhat funky and with light tropical fruits. Belgian feel to it and that is amplified more in the taste. Fruity-juicy and ending up with light bitter note, Belgian golden ale spices and dry tart finish with some tannins. Quite drinkable actually, not bad.

Cloudy blond appearance with fluffy head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of fruity hop. Also some fructose sweetness.

New attempt at ‘double’ NEIPA apparently, bottle at Velootje in Ghent. Cobweb-lacing, eggshell-white, creamy and dense, stable head over a misty peach blonde beer with ochre-ish hue. Aroma of dried lemon zest, mango chutney, bread crust, pineapple, old wrinkled apples, sweetbread, withering kitchen herbs (oregano), straw, moist white pepper, dried apricots, dusty old baker’s yeast, pear. Sweetish onset, peachy and banana-ish estery notes with some mango and pineapple accents, sourish undertone, sharpish carb with minerally effects; doughy and bready malt base, long hop bittering finish with retronasal New World hop aromatics (oregano, mango, citrus peel) but also a peppery bitterness I do not expect from anything labelled as a NEIPA – plus an earthy and phenolic Belgian yeast character. Tasty and, by itself, well-executed beer for sure, but putting “New England IPA” on the label does create certain expectations which clearly aren’t met here: this is clearly too yeasty and phenolic for anything NEIPA-like and is perhaps better approached as a “Belgian IPA” even if it is made by an Estonian craft brewer: a hop-forward but basically Belgian style ale with – admittedly – quite expressive New World hop qualities mixed with too many yeast impressions. In that sense enjoyable enough so I won’t be too harsh on this one – just do not expect anything Trillium-, Tree House- or Cloudwater-like.

Bottle from LDW, Eke. Hazy yellow colour, white creamy foam. Nose of pineapple, citrus. Taste is medium sweet, light lemony, some papaya notes. Not very bitter for an IPA. Good.
