12/VIII/23 - 33cl can from Albert Heijn (Gent), shared @ home, BB: 6/XII/24 11:34;L4 VF3079 (2023-445)
Clear yellow blond beer, solid creamy white fluffy head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: floral, pretty soapy, a bit fruity, citrus notes, some overripe banana, pears. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: weird, sourish start, lacto-acidity, a bit lemony, soapy touch, some more citrus juice, weird, zero bitterness. Aftertaste: soapy, a little lemony, weird, slightly metallic, zero hop bitterness. Piss poor excuse for a n/a IPA, over even any n/a beer for that matter. Looks like a beer, but it sure doesn’t taste like beer...

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy golden colour with a medium sized foamy white head and lots of sediment in the glass. Aroma is very fruity with bananas, stoney fruits, citrus fruits, apples, pears, doughy bread, spice and herbal notes. Taste is again very fruity with a mixture of all the fruits mentioned in the aroma, overripe notes, more herbal, bready with citrus pith and peppery spice lingering on a hoppy finish. Medium to full body with low carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. Above average Tripel. Very good.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of honey and floral hops. Some crystal malt. Taste is more of the same, faint yeast spice. Sweet finish. Not my thing.

Bottle at Cafe des Bains De Panne. Hazy gold amber colour lasting white head. Some esters up front and in the beer. Decent strong beer. Spicy hops on the finish. Enjoying getting quietly hammered in De Panne on a Friday lunchtime.

T: light malty base, citrus and apples but all very weak, herbal, vegetables, medium carbonation, decent bitterness, I like the protein idea here but all in all not very tasty.

Bottle. 2009 or 2010 vintage I think, best before March 2013. It's almost clear in the glass, deep chestnut to brown in color, with a small, dense dark beige head. Lightly oxidized aroma with caramel, dark dried fruit, bread crust hints and a good dash of chocolate. It's full-bodied and soft on the palate, with a very light sourness. Some oxidation in the flavor too, lightly woody, with dark chocolate, bread, caramel and dark dried fruit. Some generic fruityness, with a light spiced touch towards the finish. Quite decent this one, even though it's way past BB date. 230331
