Draught Thick yellowish head over fully hazy orange-ochre beer. Superb fruity Sorachi Ace nose, with grapefruit, tart wild fruit and musk. Again the wild, nearly tart musk flavour, grapefrtuit, unripe nondescript fruits and orange peel. Quite slick, light to medium bodied apparently. THIS IS UTTERLY SENSATIONAL. Only 2.5%, and packed with flavour - even the Brits can’t do this. And if that wasn’t bowling over enough, it is the first blond beer I taste where the S.A. works!! Kudos to this brewer!

draft @ Moeder Lambic French Beer Festival ’12. Orangée, col épais blanc. Arôme le Nelson est en retrait laissant un bouquet houblon presque de dry-hopped et des notes moyennes de raisin blanc. En bouche, profile typique IPA, solide dans son effet, Nelson y est aussi en retrait laissant de brèves références au kiwi et au raisin blanc. Je note aussi un côté épais rappelant des feuilles bouillent de thé macha. Le tout donne un palais sec et poussiéreux sur un fini léger amer fruité.

draft @ Moeder Lambic French Beer Festival ’12. Orangée trouble, col épais ocre. Arôme est houblonné, fruité sur des notes tropicales et de grains, sec et malté. En bouche, léger fruité bien dans le style, notes tropicales sur une fin amertume épicée. Notes fleuries, voire de pin léger? Pamplemousse ou mandarine finissant sur un grains sec et une pointe noble dans les malts restant très européens.

draft @ Moeder Lambic French Beer Festival ’12. Dorée présentant un léger trouble, col épais blanc. Arôme est houblonné, grains léger, fruité et amer avec un léger bouquet herbacé. En bouche, amer restant plus en retrait laissant plus le profile malt/amertume prendre le dessus. Profile reste axée sur des notes citronnées sèches avec une légère fin de bouche malté / herbacée. La version Sorachi reste ma préférée.

draft @ Moeder Lambic French Beer Festival ’12. Dorée brumeuse, col blanc épais. Arôme est tout ce que l’on attend du Sorachi, agrumes, citronné en note de zeste presque de citronnelle, fleuri, frais. Palais léger citronné laissant une fin de bouche oscillant entre pétillant, fine amertume agrumes, sec, le tout donnant un caractère profond au houblon. En conclusion, comme quoi on peut bien brasser à cru en offrant une bière légère, complexe et facile à boire. Comme quoi, ce houblon fonctionne aussi pour une bitter sans toujours penser à une IPA.

25 cl. + sample Draft @ Chez Moeder Lambic French Beer Festival /// hazy golden with serious creamy white head that sink with a reasonable pace // smell is definitely sorachi ace but not the sweeter earthly, cheese side of it that I prefer, this is sharp / clean, floral, citrus zest side of it, some grass // taste is fullon the bitter floral side of sorachi ace, citus zest, lemon, lingering quite bitter finish, some spices, clean sharp serious, some malt, dash herbal, serious bitterness // body is clean, sharp, dry // still quite neat for the alcohol percentage, the body doesn’t feel watery or light in any way imaginable // appears to accomplish fully what it set out to be light alcohol, sharp, bitter floral sessionable beer, that in no way feels like 2.5 %, reminds me a bit of De La Senne’s style
