Bottle @ home. Hazy orange color, medium sized white to off-white head that lasts for quite a while. Smell and taste malts, some hops, old hops, a bit spicy, weird herbal flavors, a bit peppery. I don't like it and I don't think this is an IPA at all. Bleh, drainpoured it.

Bottle consumed at Bierboom, Brugge, Belgium, Friday 15th September 2017 with Lynn and Barry. Hazy gold with a white head, sticky foam. Good fruity Tripel, soft mouthfeel, a little vanilla on the edge, a spicy and bitter tang. Good.

I may notch it up a point but I other than that my rating above stands. A6 A4 T8 P3 Ov15 3.6

Oranjebruin bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig, ietwat zoet en krachtig met iets van vanille en citrus. Bier doet zijn naam eer aan want het lijkt meer op een tripel dan een IPA.

Bruin bier met schuim. Smaak is neutraal zoet/zuur en licht bitter met en heel licht rooksmaak. Eigenlijk een niet bijzonder of uitgesproken bier, valt weinig over te melden, maar desondanks best goed.

Geel bier met mooie schuimkraag die lang blijft staan. Smaai is bitter hoppig met een licht kruidige ondertoon. Licht zoet met iets van kardemon en koriander.

14/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte) @ home - BB: III/2019 (2017-1214)

Clear dark brown beer, big aery irregular beige head, falls down quickly, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: liquorish, ripe banana, soft roast, caramel, some chocolate. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, lots of ripe banana, some chocolate, some bitter hops, soft spicy touch. Aftertaste: bit roasted, overripe banana, some chocolate, dried fruits, bitter touch, spicy, some coriander, bit dusty in the finish. I guess I'm used to much more spicy things, cause I didn't get any chillies.

11/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte) @ home - BB: II/2019 (2017-1200)

Pretty clear orange beer with a peach colour shine to it, bit aery irregular white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, cuberdons (forest fruit flavoured candy from Belgium), bit floral, cookie dough. MF: lively carbon, to much to be enjoyable. Medium body. Taste: bit chemical, orange peel, sweet malts, spicy touch, ginger. Aftertaste: more orange peel, bit watery, spicy, yeast, bit sugary, unpleasant bitterness, some mandarins, more citrus fruits, some weird flavour, I'm guessing (dead?) yeast... Don't feel like drinking another one of these.
