Second NEIPA of the night, after having the #36 - why not ?! Hazy golden-orange colour and hard to see the carbonation in this one. Warm frothy smaller cap leaving just a coat of foam over the brew. Aromas are more oranges in this one with hints of honey, and the oats sweetening things. Silky, creamy mouthfeel with just a little zing in the end. Flavours are also more orange juicy with some grassy notes coming in the finish. This creates a mild dryness. Another pretty good NEIPA, with less spiciness than #36.

Hazy golden-orange colour with heavy big bubble carbonation. The head is frothy, foamy with decent retention and some foam lacing. Spicy grassy hops in the nose with some orange juice base. Orange juicy in the taste as well, with the spiciness milder, but still nicely present. Juicy mouthfeel with a little tart in the finish. Dry, but not too much. A very refreshing, juicy NEIPA.

The pour on this one is fairly black with hardly any copper highlights. The head is big, frothy, warm mocha-coloured with great stay, leaving big patches of foam lacing. Aromas of mild coffee and roasted malts, with hints of dark fruits. The roasted malts and coffee are pretty much the same, well-blended in the flavours and not too strong. Enough hops in the finish to create some decent bitterness, dryness. A nice light stout with coffee notes and easy-going.

Can that pours a clean, bright golden-yellow colour with a slight off-white, warm soapy head, good stay and leaving some foamy spot. Sweet malt nose with some yeasty spiciness. The spicy kick is a little more present in the taste, with just enough hops in the finish to create a nice dryness. A very easy-drinking Pilsner that gets a tad hazy at last pour.

Very hazy, golden colour with an orange hue. Frothy-bubbly off-white head, decent retention and some slim strokes of lacing. Citrus zest aromas at first pour, turning into orange juices. Hints of pineapples do come out with time. There is some juiciness in there, but also good bitterness. The mouthfeel turn into a nice dry finish. Flavours are citrusy, but with more grassiness from the hops. Quite a nice NEIPA for those who prefer these a little more on the bitter side, over juiciness. Can't wait to try #36 and #37.

Cloudy amber with a small beige head. Belgian esters and spices. Spicy and the typical belgian esters. ABV is well hidden. Not my style.

Pours a clean (mildly hazy at last pour) golden-amber colour with a big frothy-creamy warm cap, good retention and some thick foamy patches along the glass. Malty nose with some light sweetness, balanced by the hops that show a little grassiness. The taste shows close to the same with some slightly rich malts that give out a little fruitiness. The hops helps things in the finish to not make it syrupy. A good enough dryness to make this a good drinking Märzen. Hopefully this is brought back every October.

Can from brewery that pours a hazy amber colour with a bubbly off-white head, average retention and little lacing left. Nice nose of spices with the orange notes and hints of berries. Alcohol is present with a very good Belgian Ale base. Again, all of these are well-balanced in the taste with a short finish. Very light tart is left. Gets cloudier as it pours. Same fizzy head. Nothing wrong here, but wish the flavours were a tad stronger with all of the alcohol. Reminds me of a milder tasting Unibroue. Worth trying !

A little hazy, golden colour with a yellow hue. The head is big, frothy, white, very long lasting with loads of foamy lacing. Fresh hop aromas with grassiness and hints of cilantro, mint. The fruitiness comes out in the flavours with hints of grass. Mango and citrus. The mouthfeel has a creaminess and is silky smooth. Nice dryness in the finish. This is quite a nice light beer, that is great for a session.
