Bouteille 33cl, BB 12/2014. Dorée, col épais crémeux blanc. Arôme est agréablement fleuri, note houblon citronné sur agrumes, malt caramel léger. Palais est malté, houblonné assez vert, palais est sec avec un alcool devenant réchauffant. Note d’épice des houblons, malt carapale avec une amertume qui perdure en fin de bouche. Ok, mais sans plus avec ici des houblons qui servent à rehausser la profil général de la bière. On reste toujours dans un choix de Poperinge assez nobles mais efficace pour cette version.

33 cl. bottle @ home. BBF 12/2014 (bit unclear). According to the bottle: “Brewery “De Lelie” was located in Vosselaar on the Cingel next to the church. The company was founded in 1907 and taken over in 1922 by the brewer Jan Dresselaers. Latter his son Rene succeeded his father. They brewed quality beers of high fermentation of which “Pater” and “Paus” were the best known. In 1952 the production was stopped.” It appears that a local VZW (same name as the previous brewery) decided to restart the production of these beers and they are being contract brewed now by Scheldebrouwerij. Pours a lightly hazy brownish amber with little beige head. Smell is sweet, toffee, caramel, quite a bit of licorice, very overripe dark fruits and a strong unpleasant low quality meat and quite a bit of soy sauce. Taste is an overwhelming bad meat, soy sauce, overripe dark fruits, malt, spices,… Okay carb. & body. This is frankly unpleasant and I cannot really get over it & frankly the worst I have had within the style. Which is a real shame considering that the Paus was quite delightful – maybe it is a hierarchical thing.

The beer pours a bright apple Champagne golden with a creamy and stable white head. Surprisingly hoppy nose, citrus, creamy, almost sweet cornflakes in a good way, fruity yeast,… Taste is bitter, floral, hop forward, white pepper, thin yeast, almost saison-yeast, sweetness coupled, sugar, peel with some fruitiness, moderate alcohol… Lightly creamy and well carbonated – actually reminds me of the recent Delhaize Xtreme Hop series but much better. Lovely beer.

Bottle: Golden, cloudy with floaties, impressive rocky and very stable off - white head, sweetish and also tart orangey-zesty nose, distinctive traces of yeast detectable; moderate to solid sweet-tart flavour, mediim to full bodied, quite a creamy MF; a slight alcohol-burn (brandy-like) shows up in the tart zesty-bitter finish. A nice one…

bouteille 33cl. bb 12-2011. brune foncée, col café au lait/ocre. Arôme de malt caramel avec pas mal de fruits noirs, levure terreuse et épices, le tout avec un soupçon de poudre de chocolat. En bouche, bière légère par ses 6% mais plein de saveurs. Une belle levure de double d’abbaye dans le style belge avec un palais fruité noirs mélangeant prunes, figues. Malt grillé et chocolaté avec des notes de toffee et une pointe liquoreuse. Sur la fin une fine amertume se fait présente. Belle bière qui par moment peu paraitre trop légère mais reste pleine de surprises.
