New England style IPA with oats and wheat, from a can bought at the Jumbo supermarket in Ghent - arguably the best supermarket in the greater Ghent region for beer ticks. Medium sized, egg-white, opening, uneven-bubbled, irregular and eventually completely dissolving 'head' over a hazy yellow blonde robe with pale apricot tinge. Aroma of honey pomelo, fresh mandarin even, guava, ripe pear, meringue, watermelon, ripe kiwi, homemade lemonade, apple banana, lemon thyme, candied lemon even, vague touches of green olive, gypsum and herb cheese faraway in the background. Juicy onset, sweetish and a tad sourish, citrusy or fruity in general but in a very bright way, with impressions of watermelon, pear, carambola and kiwi, quite sharply carbonated with minerally effect running through it all; slick body, made softer by the oats and more soapy by the wheat (a tad unnecessary for me actually), soaked in sweet-fruity-hoppy aromas from the start, adding apple banana and guava to the flavours already present. Bitterness remains very mild and soft, with a citrusy character, just enough to provide balance I suppose - but I prefer a bit more of it even in this style. That said, this is technically a very well-brewed NEIPA from one of Holland's IPA specialists so I am not complaining.

20 June 2025. “Iets voor den Erwin” @ Dracuna. Cheers to the whole GBV crew!

Melon, pine, shallot, peach, cheese rind. Sweetish melon, peach, kiwi, dough & cracker. Piney hops, citrus pith, bit floral. Not too fancy.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Citrussy hop with grassy notes, some orange and tropical fruit incl. mango. Soft wheat. Moderate bitter with a light sweetness, medium body. Decent, if a bit modest.
