AROMA: medium-low citrus-like aroma with notes of orange, slight lime and a slight white wine character. neutral malt background with a gentle sweet note. barrel character not detected. APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. medium-low creamy white head with medium-low to low retention.

Botella 33 cl del seňor Lúpulo Gijon tomada en Oviedo 10..05..2017. (r60). Lote L100118 hasta 12..2027. Color negro intenso brillante con poca espuma beige oscura que desaparece al poco dejando pequeňa corona. Sabores maltas tostadas algo caramelizadas con gran sensación alcohólica y de vinos aňejos y oportos. Cuerpo medio a intenso fino y algo líquido no muy espumoso. Ligera densidad en aumento según calienta y suave amargo entre seco y dulce tostado caramelizado. Toques de maderas empapadas en licor con ligeras especias y cacao. Bastante buena para repetir sin duda.

6/V/17 - 33cl bottles from Geers (Oostakker) @ Abeels visiting (home) - BB: XII/2018 (2017-581) Thanks to all for sharing the beers!
Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy solid beige irregular head, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: pretty roasted, some chlorine, hoppy, fruity touch, some sweet malts. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft roast, malty, some caramel, very hoppy, bitter, more roast. Aftertaste: resinous, grapefruit, very bitter, roasted, very hoppy, nice, some tropical fruit, still that bit of chlorine. Weird. Could've been a 4.4/5 without that chlorine touch...

Clear amber to orange beer, creamy irregular off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: nice fruity notes, some chlorine, bit malty, some caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit sweet, malty,s ome caramel, fruity hops, some grapefruit, bitter. Aftertaste: tropical fruits, caramel malts, pretty bitter, very decent one! And oh boy, good thing they've changed the label design. If I see the old picture compared to what I bought, I probably would've never bought the bottles with the old design. ;-)
