Gusher @ parking lot of Hopduvel. Murky orange color, full sized foamy white head. Smell and taste malts, yeast, herbs or spices, lightly bitter. High fizzy carbonation. Unbalanced and not very nice at all.

330 ml. sampled & shared with Benzai at De Hopduvel because the cap was damaged simple because I put in my shoping card & carbonation started escaping. We had this happen with two separate beers at the store, both of them brewed @ ’t Gaverhopke. It was one thing back when ’t Gaverhopke just made horrible infected beers, now they can even properly cap them apparently. I have seriously never seen this happen with any other beer & now all of the sudden it happened to two different people with two different beers bottled at the same brewery. ’t Gaverhopke is clearly the worst brewery in Belgium. Not just bad & nearly always (if not always infected beer), you apparently now have to deal with this nonsense on top. Anyway, unsurprisingly hugely carbonated. Pours a hazy amber with a huge collapsing white head, at first it just poured only head basically. Nose is lightly moldy yeast, aspirin, artificial sweet, very bland, overly yeasty, white sugar,… Taste is obscured by intensely big carbonation. You get esters, huge yeast, bitter aspirin, medication, moldy yeast, light dough, white sugar & more esters,… Massively over-carbonated, boring at best taste-wise.

Bottle from De Hopduvel. Apparently the second beer from Angelus, which I assume is a new client brewer operating at Gaverhopke. Huge gushing upon opening the bottle. Frothy, yellowish white, initially thick head but loose in structure and therefore collapsing after a while. I was looking forward to a ’sunny’ beer on this beautiful spring day, but what I get is a muddy ochre blonde, completely milky, murky and soupy: the yeast and proteins are everywhere instead of sticking to the bottom of the bottle where they belong, in combination with the gushing a clear indication that (re)fermentation has gone awfully wrong here. Aroma is fortunately more or less decent: yeasty of course, lots of baker’s yeast, but with friendly suggestions of gingerbread, orange peel, brown bread, cake, banana, coriander seed, canned apricot, sharpishly sweet artisanal honey, sour cream, floral hops (chamomille), wet leather, spicy phenols (cloves, aniseed), earth, rotting autumn leaves. Taste is a lot less sweet than expected; it begins with some fairly acidic yeasty (and likely bacterial) ’fruitiness’ of unripe peaches, sour berries and green apple, strong and fizzy carbonation (a bit much to my taste), dry, grainy and somewhat ’harsh’ middle phase, earthy and peppery hop bitterness setting in quickly and becoming unexpectedly strong in the end, bittering the mouth in a somewhat harsh, insufficiently aromatic way, in which the drying coriander does not help; yeastiness also clearly lingers. Clearly a nod to the newish ’hop forward’ movement in Belgium, but if the whole batch is like this, I do not think it was a good idea to throw it onto the market. This looks, smells and tastes like a flawed hobby brew made in some amateur’s kitchen with a beginners’ brewing kit; it is a bit infected, has a very unattractive ’yeast soup’ appearance (even looking like some weird dairy product in the end) and the flavour is clearly out of balance. I hope it will get better from a technical point of view, because this does not invite me at all to try their first - or any other ones to follow.
