Bottle. Délices and Caprices, Brussels. Hazy gold. Film of sticky, white head. Nose has thick, sugary malts. Estery, and a bit plastic. Some fruit. Some banana. Taste is sweet, and syrupy. Foamy mouthfeel. A little heavy going. Yeasty, bready sweet finish. Sweet and dull.

330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, orangey golden colour with huge, soft foamy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Grassy, herbal, slightly earthy, hoppy aroma, hints of peppercress. Taste is dry, grassy hoppy, slightly herbal, hints of peppercress, an oily touch of parsley, subtle biscuity malty sweetness with vegetable touch, cabbage; tangy hop bitterness throughout. Green, elemental, rural. Definitely interesting.

Dark brown colour. Aroma and flavour have caramel, dark roasted malts and some bready notes too. Some hints of bitter coffee in the aftertaste.

From a 75 cl bottle, as the 2015 version. Very thick and frothy, beaten egg-white, dense and cobweb-lacing head, misty peach blonde robe with orangey hue and lively fizz piercing through. Aroma has doubtlessly weakened a bit after several months of storage, but still yields fresh hoppy fragrance, with impressions of fresh orange, pink grapefruit, mandarin peel, chamomille, freshly cut grass, raw cucumber, melon, wet hay, sweetbread, jute, unripe peach, lime zest, white pepper and toast. Crisp, refreshing onset, nice balanced fruitiness with hints of orange, green banana, apricot and lychee, spritzy carbo but agreeable for the style, sweetish but not overly so, evolving effortlessly into a supple, soft, caramelly and bready malt sweetness with a slight bitterly toasted edge, while some fruity esters continue; hop bitterness builds up very gradually, drying the palate ever more, producing lovely retronasal aromas of citrus peel, flowers and hay along with the esters and weak spicy phenols; its bittering power is thorough but earthy and soft at the same time, lasting quite long and leaving a pleasant spiciness in the back of the mouth, while juicy, bready malt sweetness passes through as well as a residual white candi sugar-like sweetness. There is a clear amount of warming, ’jenever’-like alcohol at the back, but it does not interfere too much with the malts and hops; so does, however, a typically Belgian yeast bitterness which really has no business here at this point. Very Belgian in most respects (apart from the hops): this is a typical example of ’Belgian IPA’, a new category which I think should be recognized here, as too many people seem disappointed with Belgian-brewed IPAs simply because they expect the clean, non-estery profile of Anglo-Saxon yeast cultures. This one is much more a new style ’tripel hop’ than a real IIPA: though it uses a big amount of new hop varieties well in balance with a sweet malt backbone, there are far too many Belgian yeast properties (esters and phenols) going on here to be ranked among the international DIPA style. I would recommend tasting this with ’tripel’ in mind instead of IPA, and if viewed that way, this to me is a technically well-made, hoppy Belgian ale with high drinkability (dangerously so even, seen its ABV).

Sampled at BAB 2016. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours rather unclear amber, small white head, unintense , bit bitter scent. Taste is sharp, grainy, sweet hops, not very bitter though. Nice, mild fruity back.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ Bierfestival Brugge 2016.Thank you for sharing people! Hazy dark amber with an off-white head. Nose is massive moldy yeast, sugar, low floral qualities, heavy yeasty, very faint green hop. Dull fizzy & boozy plaster body and taste,… Lots of plaster yeast, dough, white sugar, hay & more yeast, industrial almost. I partially defended the 2014 iteration but this is just fizzy yeasty excess in faulty Belgian fashion. Only some faint hop covered in moldy yeast in the smell which is lost in the taste.
