Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is wonderful peach and mango. Flavor is more citrus fruit with a pop of bitterness to wake up the taste buds. Awesome fruity hops with this beer with a a bit more bitterness than this style usually has.

Thx! Draft sample @ Gollem: Craft Beer Madness #2. Golden, huge white head. Nose is pine, harsh, orange peel, pine,… Taste is oily pine, some yoghurt, yeast, bit too much of that with pine resin oil, unbalanced with some lesser parts.

Apricot sour by this Californian brewing company, thanks 77ships for sharing at Gollem, Antwerp. Medium thick, lightly lacing, snow white, opening head, misty orangey peach blonde robe. Aroma of sour grapes more than apricots, lots of unripe nectarine, raspberry vinegar, unsugared yoghurt, lemon flesh, dry peach kernels, rainwater. Tart onset with a sharpish, unripe stonefruit- and even bit lemon-like fruit acidity, lots of nectarine and sour grape flavours which I suppose represent the apricot, softish carb, smooth, doughy and bit biscuity malt ‘soil’ dried by the sourness, which even becomes slightly vinegary in the end with a somewhat burning effect; light earthy touch in the end. Your typical modern American sour ale and far from the worst in its kind, though perhaps just a tad too sour for its own good, which blocks the tenderness of the apricots a bit.

West Coast IPA, formerly named Quorum IPA apparently, tasted at Craft Beer Madness at Gollem in Antwerp. Membranous-lacing, egg-white, medium thick head, clear deep and warm yellowish golden robe. Aroma of moldy old grapefruit, overripe onions, marijuana, stale lime juice, yellow curry, toasted garlic. Clean fruity onset, unripe banana, green melon and starfruit notes, softish carb, smooth and oily body; cereally, straightforward pale maltiness under a spicy, grapefruity, zesty and piney hop bitterness, long, dry and refreshing. Could have a bit rounder malt body to support the old school, West Coast bitterness, but otherwise enjoyable enough to an old school hophead like me.

Can. Hazy orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has a decent fine crispness. Slighty thin malts, mildly sweet. Slighty tangy citric hops. Light fresh orange. Mild tangerine. Mild spicy itch. Touch of pine. Dry finish. Clean and quite drinkable but I would like a bit more body and more hops would not hurt a bit!
