Small off-white head, difficultly kept up by lively carbonated, faintly veiled orange-golden beer. Rather malty, honeyish nose - weird for a beer named ’single hop’. Tired, oxydized nose, sweet, bit alcoholic. Utterly sharp, alcoholic taste, with an orangeliqueur tang. Again oxydation, maltcookies, orangepeel (but not bitter - let alone hoppy, God forbid!) Sharp sherry, dry, if fruitier. Alcoholburn, well-carbonated, slick, but a tad empty palate. I think I’ve got it! With ’single hop’ they mean they’ve added a single hop cone. Explains it all...

11/V/14 - 75cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - lagered: X/2012, bottled: VI/2013, BBE: 2020, #086/400 (2014-498)

Little cloudy orange beige beer, big fizzy white head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, some orange peel, bit oxidized, spicy, cloves, alcohol, some caramel, dusty. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, very sugary, orange peel, almonds and marzipan, well, let's just be honest here, this beer is completely oxidized and over-aged. Aftertaste: little bitter, sweet, very oxidized, grains, sherry notes, orange peel. Why in the world would make a "single hop" and then let the beer completely oxidise so there's no way you could ever taste that single hop? Makes absolutely no sense. Oh, and also: ridiculously expensive!

Bottle, 75cl corked. It’s an unclear, orange colored beer, almost headless, just with some off-white head. The aroma is pretty sweetish and fruity, with a nice grassy, peppery and piney hoppyness. Alcohol too. Sweet and warming on the palate, full-bodied and with a low carbonation level. Lots of sweetness and fruityness in the flavor, with alcohol, bitterness and grassy hints. Lightly herbal too. Lasting finish with lots of fruity sweetness and alcohol. Overall, a quite tasteful one, but way too sweet and warming to be a beer I’d like to have again. 140118

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Small head with short duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are alcohol, fruits, sugar and malt. Sweet and boozy.. More like a mead.
