with Belgian yeast
Cloudy golden color with compact head. Mild aroma, malt and dust, light Belgian impression. Highly carbonated; it’s a crossroads of elements, and the mild malt flavor integrates well with the yeast and with the bitterness, although the hop qualities are limited, just a timid fruity touch in the final.

Beautiful golden color with copper hue, hazy, small head. The aroma is rather earthy, grassy, metallic, with a soft manure touch; I’m not sure this was intended, but it’s somehow British. Lean mouthfeel, dry, not for this weak; good malt flavor with a hay and cereal accent; grassy, with strong bitterness, and a mild vegetable touch in the final that lowers a bit the appreciation.
A beer that doesn’t scream, but whispers complex elements; the devil’s in the details.

Light amber and a bit hazy. Melon/cantaloupe nose but a little bit overripe. Pear and honeydew character, bit yeasty. Dryish finish, little bit estery, hop bitterness rounds out the finish.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Nose is pungent on the herbal hops, with biscuity and crackery malts - with some English malt-like scents. Flavour is very similar, bringing out dry crisp biscuity malt, dry herbal hops and English malt. Very well-balanced and surprisingly flavourful for the style. Great stuff.
