Strong citrusy nose. Cloudy pale yellow golden, good frothy off-white head but quickly diminishing. Aroma pale malt, orange, lemon, pineapple, star fruit, grass, undercurrent of candied fruit, light basement. Taste light to medium sweet and medium bitter, light citrus acidity, malty, grainy, lemon, grapefruit, orange peel, light pine resin. Lingering bittersweet aftertaste, orange pith, lemon, mineral touch. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, fresh well-hopped IPA with aspects of a sour beer, nice.

Has a mild hop Aroma with a little bit of fruit. Flavors are like nose a touch of sweet up front with a mild resin bitter finish also Citrus rind. Carbonation works well here but overall it's just okay.

Pour is a ugly looking murky brown green with a large white head. Aroma is a decent sweet orange. Flavor is an ok citrus fruit with a big bitterness. Finish is dry and tongue tingling. This was barley ok for the style. Not a huge fruityness but does have a big bracing bitterness.

7/XII/18 - on tap @ DOK Brewing Company (Ghent), BB: n/a - (2018-1962)
Very cloudy beige beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: tropical fruits, grapefruit, more tropical fruits, papaya, mango, lovely stuff. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots and lots of brett, artificial brett, fruity, bit funky, bitter, sweetish, peaches. Aftertaste: little dirty, more brett, soapy, artificial brett. Pretty mediocre...

The Aromas are hops dust and dry grain. It's really not that dry some fruitiness and not a lot of bitter but yeasty in the Finish.

The Aromas are Citrus hops and some pale malt kind of muted. The flavors are dominated by soap with some hops and Wonder Bread. Bittersweet with a lingering perfumey medicinal finish. Not one of Council's best.
