21/VII/17 - 33cl bottle with "Dry Hopped Ressurection Batch" sticker? @ Belgian Ticks Tasting (home) - BB: 29/XII/18, brewed: II/2017 (2017-1098) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!
Clear pale blond to yellow beer, big aery unstable off-white head, dissipates quickly, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty fruity, lots of citrus, some tropical fruits and hints of citrus, smells very clean and pleasant (although a saison can smell a bit dirty). MF: lively carbon, too much, medium to light body. Taste: citrus, pretty bitter, grassy, lemon rind, bit sourish, nice one! Aftertaste: dry finish, some citrus notes, very bitter ending. This is one of the best they've put out. Now on to the stout!

21/VII/17 - 33cl bottle @ Belgian Ticks Tasting (home) - BB: 29/XII/18 (2017-1097) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange to amber beer, big irregular beige head, unstable, dissipates quickly. Aroma: malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, stable, caramel, yeast, bit sweet impression. MF: too much carbonation to be enjoyable (and mind you, this is just a tasting glass, not a whole 33cl), medium body. Taste: sweet malts up front, lots of caramel, pretty bitter, grains, bit sugary. Aftertaste: banana peel, metallic, grains, caramel malts. Decent brew, but far from exciting. I was able to resist. :p

Clear dark brown beer (not black??), small creamy irregular beige head, unstable, dissipates quickly (probably due to the fruits). Aroma: sweet, lots of raspberry jam, sugary impression, caramel, more jam. Not getting much roasted aromas... MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sweet start, raspberry jam, sugary, caramel, slightly bitter. Aftertaste: more raspberry jam, soft roasted touch, sweet, slightly sourish, pretty sugary. More a fruit beer than a stout...

Pours dark chocolaty brown. Smell is sweet, earhty, some caramelly roast. Taste is dry, roasted barley , thick roasty aspects like coffee and chocolate. No real aftertaste. Weak body and high carbo (sigh) as in most Belgian beers. I assume they used sugar to get the ABV up ? As it is added as a sweet stout, I expected lactose. Didn’t get lactose at all.

Pours rather clear blonde, small white head. Smell is herbal, mild hay. Taste is sharp, peppery yeasty notes typical to a saison. Mild hay. Extremely carbonated. Weak body. Ok at best.
