The devil—in the form of a dog—appeared in Damme just as a storm put a hole in the village dyke. The locals killed the dog and used its corpse to fill the hole, saving Damme from flooding.

Damme Nation is a marriage of the British tradition of a more amber malt profile, the caramelised notes of Belgian special B malts with the seductive quality of classic American hop varieties from the Yakima Valley (Amarillo, Cascade and Citra).

Water: Damme. Malt: pils malt, pale ale, caramunich, special b. Hops: Amarillo, Cascade, Citra. Yeast: American ale. EBC: 31.

0,33 l bottle. Pours hazy amber with small, quickly dissipating off white head. Aroma of pine, fruity, sweet, yeast, solid malt base, some caramel. Taste is medium sweet and quite bitter. Body is quite full, carbonation lively. Finish is medium long, it packs a moderate bitter punch with more pleasant fruitiness. Good West coast IPA.

Tak belgijska tradycja piwna moze byc dumnq z tego piwa. Piana spora trwala. Metne, pacnace chmielami wszelakimi. Dlugi goryczkowy i kwiatowy finisz. Lekko slodowe ale zdecydowanie chmielne. Kolejne dobre ipa z belgii.

Bottle At home from Malt Attacks, Brussels, 9th February 2020. Pours a clear copper colour. Aroma is pithy marmalade, pine needles. Taste is pithy citrus, bitter and pine resin, lingering assertive bitter finish. Good old fashioned West Coast IPA, very good.

Piney, slightly citrusy and herbal-spicy, hoppy aroma, hints of peppermint and lemon, a touch of lemon tea and liquorice, caramel malty background. Taste is crisp, bitter, citrusy and slightly herbal-spicy hoppy, notes of lemon, peppermint, a touch of lemon tea, liquorice, dry, caramel malty basis without residual sweetness; lingering bitter finish, maybe minimally overcarbonated.

29 June 2019. At Siphon 3d Birthday Party, Damme. Cheers to Anke, Erwin & Ama Deke! Hazy golden-orange with a lasting, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of ripe tangerine, orange peel, mango, lime juice, flowers, honey, bread. Taste is medium fruity sweet, hints of ripe orange, mango, quite juicy, honeyish malt impression with a yeasty edge; building up a hoppy bitter core of grass, spices, grapefruit peel & pine, a bit sourish before ending dry, earthy hoppy with pine, fruit rinds & yeast lingering. Medium body, slick-creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Well-made 'Belgian' IPA but almost managing to shrug off that title.

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels, 21 Oct 2018) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of orange peel, dried apricots, resin and crisp-bread. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, grapefruit, orange peel, resin and a generous citric/resiny bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty IPA with a generous hop presence. Nice one.
