(Draught at Craft & Draft, Amsterdam, 25 Aug 2018) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grass, herbs and peaches. Malty, hoppy taste with bread, grass, sweet malt, dried fruit and a fresh herbal bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty, with lots of fresh herbal bitterness. Nice one.

0,33 flaske fra Belgisk Bryg, hjemme: nesten helt klar gylden med god skumkrone der holder følge hele vejen ned i mit Torpah-glas. Citrongræs, bitterappelsin, lime og krydder i en ret delikat kombination. Solid maltkrop giver den sødme der skal til for at balancere humlerne. Lang, citrusfrisk eftersmag med dejlig bitterhed og overbevisning. Bliver dog en smule bæsk når jeg nærmer mig bunden i glaset.

This year's edition of Hopus Primeur, from the familiar swingtop bottle with green label, from the Prik & Tik in Zele. Very thick but large-bubbled, foamy, snow white, cobweb-lacing head over a clear warm 'old gold' beer with fierce sparkling, misty with sediment. Aroma of fresh dandelion leaves, green apple, banana peel, dried camomile flowers, white bread crumbs, margarine, raw courgette. Medium fruity onset, halfripe banana and green apple, some pineapple, sweetish with fizzy carbonation, full 'white bready' malt body approaching overt sweetness due to residual sugars - but just before that happens, a confident, grassy, bit rooty and zesty hoppiness sets in, bringing wormwoody bitterness with a quinine-like accent in the tail, yet remaining closely interwoven with the maltiness and some light lingering green fruit esters. Very classically Belgian ale style beer like all Lefebvres, but remarkably good balance of malts and hops, not too much disturbed by yeasty esters; more colourfully hopped than most of the previous editions, this could well be the best Lefebvre beer to date.

Blond colour with lasting thin head. Aroma and flavour have some grassy hops. Not as fresh and crisp as previous editions.

Déception réelle sur ce Primeur 2018 qui n'est ni équilibré, ni intéressant aromatiquement. La brasserie Lefebvre s'est vraiment loupée sur ce coup. Rien à dire en verre cependant avec un joli blond doré (pâle) parfaitement lipide, avec une effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche et crémeuse d'un cm. Le nez est agréable, frais sur le citron, les agrumes, le blé, herbacé et très légèrement épicé. Avec cette complexité et cette homogénéité en verre, cela aurait été parfait. Mais la dégustation n'embraye pas le pas...L'attaque est déséquilibrée immédiatement avec un alcool à 8,3 % qui ressort de trop, une petite acidité mal à propos des arômes moins intéressant axé sur le miel et la pêche. Où est la ligne directrice? La deuxième monte légèrement sur l'amertume qui devient herbacée sans que la structure ne s'améliore. L'arrière bouche est tout de même sur une amertume herbacée un peu plus stabilisée à l'instar de la troisième bouche. Le final d'une longueur insuffisante retombe quant à lui sur un alcool qui prédomine. Pas certain que c'était le résultat attendu par Lefebvre…(je l’espère tout du moins)

Flip-top 33cl bottle; BBD 21st June 19. Poured into my huge Judas glass at home on 20th June 18. Slight haze to the golden body, snow white blanket of foam on top. Dank hop aroma and taste, light yeasty nose and flavour also. As the beer warms a little in the glass some fruity esters and flavours begin to arrive from the hops, the beer becomes more interesting and flavoursome.

Clear pale blond beer, big solid creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, metallic, some citrus and floral notes, bit soapy, grassy hops. MF: pretty lively carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, bit spicy, hint of coriander, fruity touch, some grapefruit and citrus. Aftertaste: bit soapy, floral notes, very bitter finish, bit spicy, grassy, quite some banana in the finish, yeasty character.
