At Wieze Bierfestival. Limited ’experiment’ (from this brewery’s perspective at least) with a famed American hop variety... Regulary shaped, moussy, snow white, stable head over a hazy golden beer with warmer peachy hue. Aroma does not reveal much hoppiness at all, let alone Simcoe: some off-putting DMS (fortunately faint), banana, pineapple, grass, gooseberry, dried orange peel, minerals. Crisp, rather fizzy onset, minerally with sweetish banana ester next to pear and gooseberry accents, basic dull sourishness, smooth mouthfeel. Cereally malt sweetish middle with a caramelly edge, some ’sweaty’ graininess, sweetish ending with some warming, gin-like alcohol and a mildly herbal and very faintly citrus peel-like hop bitter touch. Simcoe is one of my favorite hop varieties so this is disappointing to say the least: I really do not understand what the point is of using a beautiful New World hop variety so frugally that it remains all but unnoticeable. Point off for making a false promise!

At Wieze Bierfestival. Tripel (re)fermented with a Brettanomyces strain from Wyeast, limitedly produced. Off-white, very stable, lacing, moussy head, lightly hazy golden blonde colour with greenish hue. Aroma of sweaty and urine-like Brett funkiness indeed, banana, pear, sourdough, unripe peach, white bread, unripe plum, cardboard, dust. Estery onset, gooseberry and raw pineapple, low in sweetness but still with a banana-like core, sour berry tartness stretching out over the whole palate - in fact more sourness than funkiness, so I suspect the Brett was not alone in fermenting this beer. Smooth, cereally pale malt sweetish backbone, bit hayish ending, slight bitterness but most of all, ongoing, softly drying tartness. Comparable with Roman’s Rebelse Strop and the like: the reinvention of Brett applied to simple Belgian ale standards.

Bottle @ home. Slightly unclear yellow to light orange color, virtually no head. Dislike the aroma. A bit citrussy but it mainly just stinka. Taste lightly malts, lightly citruspeel. Don’t get much more than that. Meh. Not very good.

Bottle shared. Dark brown with no head. Aroma of big chocolate, cocoa, overripe dark fruit, malt, toffee and caramel. Flavour is heavy sweet. Above medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not an imperial stout but not bad anyway. [13-07-2016]

Bottle shared featuring a fairly nice picture of a self-satisfied looking fox on the label. Very hazy orange blond with a big white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, herbal notes, a little fruit and malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with above moderate carbonation.

Bottle shared at home thanks to the Bierpallieters. Hazy golden with white head. Some citrus with lime bergamot, milky yeast, bitter dried grass, light sweet malts, hazelnuts, dried apricot. Under medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied. The smell is full of lovely citrus notes but the taste is a bit lacking. Still great for a free beer!
