33cl bottle. A clear yellow golden beer with a white head. Aroma of pale malt, flowers, hints of citrus. Taste of grainy pale malt, mild bitterness, some straw. Nothing special.

Another attempt at NEIPA (though cleverly 'camouflaged' as a 'tropical' IPA but everybody knows this is the same thing), this time by the Mokke guys in the Antwerp province. Steinie bottle from Fontana in Sint-Niklaas. Regularly shaped, beaten egg-white, thick and dense, stable head on a misty apricot blonde beer with vague olive-greenish tinge and fine strings of sparkling here and there. Aroma of unripe mango, lemon butter, orange blossom, pink grapefruit juice, soap, ripe red apple, fresh lemonbalm leaves, moist white pepper, white bread dough, southernwood, lemon verbena, some distant 'Belgian' clove and a vague whiff of damp earth or even manure hiding deep in the background. Softly fruity onset, green melon, apple, some citric effects early on, whiff of unripe banana; medium carb, soft enough to remain credible for the intended style. Soft, slightly creamy but also somewhat soapy mouthfeel, due to the malted wheat; generally white-bready with a grainy edge, gradually but thoroughly bittered by spicy and leafy hop bitterness, also emanating citrusy and flowery retronasal aromas - with indeed a tropical accent, as in tropical flowers or citrus blossom, even a subtle touch of mango. Yeasty notes in the end, but the hops dominate in an elegant, gracious way; even if this remains firmly rooted in the Belgian ale idiom and is therefore best regarded as a so-called 'Belgian IPA' with NEIPA ambitions, at least it manages to convey the NEIPA feel just a bit better than the Troubadour Magma NEIPA I had earlier today. Still, very few Belgian brewers have succeeded in creating a 'true' NEIPA so far, Ghent's Totem and Antwerp's Malcroys being the most memorable ones for me.

Flaska. Brun utan skum. Doftar choklad. Belgisk ale med kakao/choklad, inte något till sötare desserter.
