Can 33 cl. Pours an almost clear very pale yellow with a small, white head. Rather perfumy nose, more bbblegum than hops. Thin, sugary sweet body with a little late touch of bitterness. More soda pop than beer. 290822

Super hazy and chunky deep ruby and lighter brown coloured body with a muddied brownish glow and some soft red and copper glowing aspects all under a single centimetre tall rich tan head that fades fairly quickly, especially for a belgian. Aroma of super complex and funky yeast notes with some bananas, bread, lactobilly funk, a ton of apples, pears and soft fruits with a lot of tart and berry-like notes here as well with a good bretty note as well with some wood and cedar notes at the end but seemingly none from spontaneous fermentation - very complex in the nose and incredible for the style. Medium-bodied; Rich muddied and earthy, rustic malt note at first with some light nuttiness and a simple grassy finish with the lactobilly notes and some cream, vanilla and milk actually showing up a bit earlier, but the tart and fruity notes follow right behind with a touch of flowers and perfume, too, but the complexity really arises from the tartness and soured qualities. Aftertaste shows some light tartness and cherry notes with bananas, soft malts, a dash of bubble gum and a more pronounced blueberry and blackberry finish, but the lactobilly and especially the bretty notes dominate here in a good way that maximises the complexity while leaving a relatively typical dubbel in the background. Overall, a nice beer and very complex throughout, but I immediately bought this because it was a reputable belgian in a can, but I'm happy I bought it, aged it and enjoyed it on a nice day. This is a good beer to try if you can find it! I sampled this 33 cL can, purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 27-June-2018 for US$4,49 sampled just over four years later at my house here in Washington on 11-July-2022.

28/V/22 - 33cl bottle as a gift, shared @ Arno’s place, BB: 8/X/24 (2022-617) Thanks to Wim B. for the bottle!
Clear blond beer, huge creamy aery off-white head, stable, rocky, a bit adhesive, leaving some patches of lacing in the glass. Aroma: fruity, funky, a bit infected, some brett notes, malty, grains. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit sweet, malty, sourish touch, some yeast, dusty, spicy, bitter, ok. Aftertaste: weird, fruity, sourish, bitter, unpleasant, metallic, very mediocre and probably infected. Weird as this is supposed to come from De Proefbrouwerij...

Can , half honest new AF beer, stated as 'brewed in Belgium for' , but not by whom... Aren't we still grown up enough to just be honest , open and respectfull enough towards the actual brewery making this ? Anyway, it doesn't take a long search to see this is another Beerselect. Pours a clear, very light pale lemongold. Medium sized, very stable, pillowy white head (foam enhancers?) Scent is mild, somewhat lime hidden malty features. Clean . Taste is surprisingly bitter, just a touch of saltyness to it. Mild maltyness. Easy drinker, with a below-medium body, and medium carbonation. Mildly noticable AF-typical stickyness, but they've done a more than decent job hiding that factor as good as possible - as minerality is quite strong, and the bitterness is medium high to balance out that wort-like sweetness. A decent Non alcoholic beer, not on par with some of the best ones out there, of course. Very marketing-loaded , which actually takes some of the charm away to me. Also, I get that IPA is popular and will boost sales, but IPA's need to be really hopforward (also in aroma). Calling this an IPA - AF or not - simply doesn't make sense to me.

The aromas are caramel malt, yeast, spice and a hint of cherry. Flavors are similar to nose, quite mild and balanced. Lightly sweet tart with a little bitter and good carbonation to balance. Barest hint of cherry. Smooth body and finish follows flavors. Easy drinking.

Can. Light haze on this pale yellowish gold beer, small bubbly white head. Palate is light and semi dry and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts that seem to contribute to the dryness. Impressive hopping here from Brulo, much like their Sabro version. The Idaho 7 provide piney citrus with a nice tropical fruit backbone, quite pineappley here. Finishes light and semi dry. Good hop soda again from Brulo and I mean that as a genuine compliment.

Smell- belgian yeast, caramel, faint banana, wheat. Foam- thin, malty, Belgian, weak sweetness, acidic sweetness, pleasant notes. Head is large, and white color. Sticks. Appearance- generic bottle cap, mixed with paper label, removable, bonus to that, but not enough for the full point.Clear orange-amber, no carbonation. From - pint Taste sweet, sugary, malt, Belgian tones, more sugar and sweetness. Very sweet beer, even too sugary for my taste. Just plain sugar at end...sme citric acid feel...
