Bottle from thebeershop.be. Hazy amber colour, white foam. Sweet nose of malts, cow fodder, banana. Taste is very estery, some citrus. Not bad but a bit unbalanced.

Centennial-hopped white IPA, 75 cl bottle shared with tderoeck and Craftmember. Wafer-thin and immediately open, egg-white ‘head’ (strangely so as both hops and wheat increase head formation and stability), hazy ‘dirty’ orangey peach blonde robe. Aroma of bitter grapefruit peel, wormwood leaves, bitterroot, rosewater, pine-scented hand soap, biscuit, green melon, peach, bitter orange, thyme, margarine, soap, linseed – very distinctive again, as I am used to from this somewhat bizarre but always interesting microbrewery. Sweetish onset, peach, apple and unripe mango accents, softish carb, slick mouthfeel with an oily and very resinous quality; biscuity, rusk-like and cereally malt body with some wheat soapiness to it, blending with a piney and very strongly grapefruity Centennial hoppiness but also a (probably phenolic) spicy effect of rosewater, cloves and thyme. The hops provide long and rooty, drying bitterness yet not as harshly and astringently so as in several other hop-forward Brabant beers, keeping everything elegant and smooth, with a light bready yeast touch in the end. Somewhat strange, but surprising and highly drinkable, and with a very recognizable Brabant character. Something you either love or hate, I suspect…

Sample @ BXL BeerFest 2018, shared with Belgian RB crew, thanks. Dorée pas de col. Arôme reste typique de Brabant dans l'apport de la levure, le bouquet est houblonné assez léger et subtil tirant dans le Cascade avec pas mal de note citronnée. Palais est malté avec un résiduel sec, poudreux et levure de fait cachant un peu l'apport de ce single hop, le tout parant sur-fermenté pour le houblon avec de fines pointes de fleuri et d'agrumes - léger citronné sur la fin.

Clear orange beer, no head. Aroma: sweetish, fruity, some butter, overripe fruits, melon, bit slick, fruity. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, bit buttery, melons, bit chemical. Aftertaste: unpleasant bitterness, more butter notes (diacetyl?). I do hope this beer is just too young, and the diacetyl will go away.
