Tap at Gulden Draak Beerhuis Prague. Med-thin body, rather high carbonation. Very high bitterness, a bit unpleasant. Med-high grassy character, medium earthy. Light chlorophenol creeping underneath, or is just the hops so weird? Not my favourite tbh, hard to drink.

Enjoyed straight from the PET growler. Aroma: Forest berries, sugar, malt, spicy notes. Taste: Light to medium sweet & bitter. Forest berries, sugar, malt, spicy notes, grass. Mouth feel: medium plus body, average to lively carbonation. Summary: Not the best fruited Belgian ale ever.

Bottle. Deep brown with a 2cm pale beige head. 3+ Aroma of brown bread and brown sugar with woody, grassy, chestnut and slight earthy notes. So it tastes - perhaps not as sweet as expected and certainly with a more decisive bitterness. Some hints of roast there too.

Middling in style. Has a herbal taste, like dry phenols. It’s fine. Bruggee bottle shop

Bouteille 75cl, BB 07/03/2029 dégustée lors de la soirée électorale du 13 octobre chez Julie. Bouteille achetée au Delhaize de Silly juste devant la brasserie du même nom.
Couleur léger cuivre/ambre, col fin blanc-cassé finement crémeux.
Arôme est sur des fruits doux - dont ce côté vineux qui ressort plus tout en ayant un côté fruits rouges et secs de la base de bière. Malté ressort bien avec un bouquet sur un léger chocolat, caramel, grillé, pâle et toasté. La barrique est discrète
Palais garde la bonne base de la scotch - ça reste assez belge dans l'approche et je note même un petit côté d'ester style banane. La bière est moins oxydée que la version Pinot que j'avais goûté il y a peu et qui avait déjà plusieurs années de cave (tout en restant bonne). Reste sur une bonne base de Scotch Ale - malté pâle, caramel, léger crystal, fruité rouge/noir avec une pétillance que je trouve un peu en retrait. Le Pinot Blanc confère un léger caractère fruité blanc avec une petite douceur presque mielleuse et un léger côté suave de la rondeur du Pinot.
