Bottle from Prik & Tik in Zele. Apparently a hobby brew commercialized through Pirlot, had never heard of this before. Thick and frothy, off-white, tightly lacing, dense head residing over a peach blonde beer with light orangey hue, made haze by a ’fog’ of dead yeast bits throughout, becoming totally murky and ’dirty ochre’ with deposit added. Unexpectedly bizarre (but not necessarily attractive) aroma of old ’speculoos’, nutmeg, fish gut in an unpleasant way, chicken spices, dried banana, sweet red curry, apricot, sundried tomato, real ’metallic’ iron and onsetting rust-like oxidation, wet paper, burnt rubber, band aid, apple, bread, old Parmigiano cheese powder, fried egg, sage. Fruity onset with hints of pineapple, banana and pear, sweetish with a sourish edge not in a ’natural’ fruity way but giving away a mild infection, medium carbonated, supple and slick mouthfeel, caramelly malts, a bit oily but otherwise rather thin and (too) metallic mouthfeel, sweet honeyish, yeasty spicy notes, some white candi sugar sweetness lingering and going down malt sweet, with some bready yeastiness, retronasal oxidation and that weird sweet curry spiciness, insufficiently hopped with very low, vague earthy bitterishness; the mild but already somewhat disturbing infection sourishness lingers a bit as well. Amateuristic brew further ruined by infection as well as progressive oxidation, indicating this clearly does not age well; too metallic as well, and showing a certain ’umami’-like spiced chicken aroma which is everything but pleasant. Failure, even close to drain pour for me.

330 ml. bottle sampled thanks to kraddel. A commission beer for a B&B with elderflowers, label doesn’t state the actual brewer but does state the orchard from where the elderflowers came, yeah, we have been here before (if you do a lot of these tiny commissioned BE beers). Hazy golden, quickly gone head. Nose is awfully cloying & chemical, you can get that this is elderflower if you try but the profile is horrifyingly chemical & green in an awful way. Overly fizzy beer, perfume, chemical, green, vegetable off-putting flowers,… Just so fizzy, awfully chemical tasting, a waste of elderflowers. I found it to be very unpleasant. It is like trying to drink a fizzy unpleasant perfume, only worse, nasty man, nasty.

14/IV/16 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: 12/VI/20 (wow, low sales expectations, if you put a 5 year expiration date on your 6.5% beer) (2016-355) Thanks to kraddel for sharing the bottle!

Pretty cloudy deep blond beer, creamy irregular white to off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, bit dirty, grains, cow fodder, bit sweet, some banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, hoppy, grassy, bit chemical, spicy touch. Aftertaste: hint of elderflower, yeasty, banana, bit sweet, weird bitterness. Not a fan.

Bottle shared, gusher. Very hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of cat piss, yeast, slight Bretty, Elastoplast. Must have a slight infection. Flavour is above light sweet and moderate bitter. Light medium bodied with light carbonation.
