Extremely pale blond colour with large fizzing head. Aroma and flavour have a mild yeasty note and a strange strawberry candy sweetness.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Rovin, Dongen. Hazy dark brown with a thin off-white head. Caramel aroma with some licorice, orange and star anise. Sweet taste with a spicy finish. Lots of things going on here. Caramel sweetness is dominant but it is accompanied by the spices in a wonderful way. Strange beer but in a good way.

Bottle from Bierboom. Pours hazy brown with a lasting, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of candied date, pear syrup, rum-soaked raisin, plum, dried banana, cake, sweet tobacco, whisky. Taste has sweet plum, pear, banana & date on a sugary, toffee- & cake-like malty base, low herbal bitterness with some phenols in the back, very slight meaty umami edge. Malty finish, lots of sweet fruit & tobacco, subdued hoppiness as a result, warming whisky alcohol in the throat. Medium body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. This X marks my soft spot for sweet, dark Belgian Ales.

Aroma: malty, some caramel, slightly floral, very little smell actually, some grains, bit yeasty, hint of banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit malty, grains, some caramel, pretty bitter, bit sweet, resinous bitterness. Aftertaste: very bitter, bit medicinal, caramel notes, malty, grains, slightly sweet, not very aromatic. Was expecting way more from this beer...

India pale lager (or indeed, as the brewer calls it, “bottom-fermented IPA”) hopped with Columbus, Citra and Mosaic, available from cans since last week; the newest beer from a small company primarily dedicated to the production of mead. Can shared by the brewer himself, cheers Jorre! Thick and frothy, cobweb-lacing, egg-white, stable head on a misty peach blonde beer with deep and beautiful orange glow. Aroma of fresh orange zest, mandarin peel, lightly toasted bread, pine nuts, dried apricot, pink peppercorns, bitter honey. Quite some fruitiness at first – from the hops, but at first glance one would wonder if this is actually a lager – with restrainedly sweetish impressions of dried peach, apple peel and mandarin, medium carbonated with a supple, smooth, bit oily body; lovely peanutty and lightly toasted bread-like maltiness, some minerally accents lingering, bending towards a very aromatic, quenching finish teeming with retronasal orange zest, mandarin, pink grapefruit and a dash of toasted onion, paired with a long-lasting grapefruity bitterness. Nice, clean, to the point and refreshing (like Mederie’s other beers, I hasten to add) – this is a beer I could drink for hours on end. Delivers exactly what it promises, and more.
