Good dense & fine, light yellow head over finely carbonated lightly veiled goldn beer, lacerings. Aromatic hops in force, rosewater, dry-hoppy. Citrus, straw, peach, rather perfumey. More hops in the flaovur, and craftier, less perfumey. Finish has a nice sourish touch - as not-quite ripe straw- or raspberries. Light to medium bodied (light for a 7% beer), good carbonation, slick to (hop)oily. Ouff... Nice one to rate, I was holding my breath after the stout experience.

Good cream to beige head over well-carbonated brown-black beer. End of bottle UFO-laden, faint lacerings. Woody, quite a bit of ureum, cardboard; roasted & sweet malts. Ureum in the taste, too - and even ammonia! Slight sourish hint and of course, lots of roasted malts and flavours. Slight astringency, quite well-carbonated to spritzy; slick and medium bodied. Sorry guys. At least in my bottle there was something that ought not to be there. And moreover, I was sorely tempted to substract another point for what must be the silliest name I had to suffer in years...

Bouteille 33cl, BB27/05/2017. Blonde, col crémeux blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet houblonné plaisant type Cascadian, rétro est quant à lui plus belge, note de pêche? pointe agrumes et léger tropical. Palais garde ce profil levure très belge avec un ponctué de houblons plaisant. Effervescence est malheureusement un peu trop haute. Le point positif réside dans cet ajout de houblons US qui se montrent bien en fin de bouche presque sur le Citra et autre houblons type C. Fini est sec, herbacé, pointe épicée du grains.

Bouteille 33cl, BB09/2018. Ambrée, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté, caramel, léger fumé presque tourbé mais restant minime. Le tout est recoupé par le houblon qui apporte un nez assez vert et frais, citronné. Retrouve un rétro-nasal très distinct de levure belge. Palais est malté plaisant, fumé, sec avec un fini houblonné ajoutant une belle note d’amertume. Retrouve un côté anglais noble d’EKG, grains sur la fin avec une note grillée et caramel brûlé. Sucre candi perce en résiduel. Correcte, mais à voir comme on le souhaite, c’est dur de se débarrasser de ce profil très belge que l’on retrouve dans quasi toutes les bières.

330 ml. bottle. Purchased @ De Hopduvel. BBF 03/2017. Contains Magnum, Tettnager, Mosaic & Citra according to the label, 35 IBU + 10 EBC. Sparkling light clear golden, touch orange fluffy egg-white head. Nicely lacing. Nose is milky yeast, light lemon, white bread mixed with some rather mellow pine, citrus & light exotic hop notes. Taste is lemon, sweetish bread, light exotic fruits upfront leading to a reasonably bitter dry grass with floral notes finish, nectarine, peach, some grapefruit, touch darker bread – the rye I suppose,… Lingering grass & juicy stone fruit / peach finish, dries your mouth out despite the clear yeast presence. Great aftertaste,… Easy to drink, very pleasant,… Very creamy,... A very nice start from this new contact brewery,… A great hybrid beer, it is hoppy but differs clearly from the USA fare in my opinion. Lovely.
