24/XI/18 - 75cl bottle from the brewery @ AV Gentse Biervereniging (Klaas' place), BB: n/a - (2018-1720) Thanks to Bierridder_S for sharing the bottle!
Clear blond beer, big creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of banana, bit yeasty, fruity touch, some peaches and marzipan. MF: very lively carbon, medium body. Taste: some citrus, little bitter, yeasty, grassy touch, quite some banana, soft bitterness, little sweetish. Aftertaste: yeasty, bit hoppy, some citrus notes, more of than banana, bitter, some marzipan, little oxidized maybe?

Juniper beer by Keun, from a 75 cl bottle shared by tderoeck, thanks. Loose, off-white, large-bubbled and unstable head but not representative, as the bottle had been opened for a period of time; hazy straw blonde with somewhat champagne-coloured hue. Aroma of perfumey, ethereal spiciness no doubt coming from the juniper, but reminiscent of lavender and peppermint as well (less resinous ‘conifer-like’ than I was expecting), honey, ripe pear, banana, sweetbread. Sweet onset, apple-ish with peach and banana notes, sweetbready and cereally malt body with a resiny edge to it referring to the conifer element, which develops an outspoken, yet still fairly elegant ethereal spiciness retronasally – again not just reminiscent of juniper or pine, but lavender and even lavender soap as well; ends sweet, a bit resiny and warming, with some alcohol glow and a mild peppery touch. I generally hate juniper in beer (too many Belgian brewers have done this in recent years due to that gin hype) but here it refrains from developing that harshly resiny, ‘moss green’, spicy effect and stays relatively soft and sweetish, in line with the general sweetness of the beer; I guess only young juniper berries were used? Anyway, too sweet a beer for me really, but I expected worse, too.

28/08/2018 - 33cl glass from a 75cl bottle @Keun tasting room. Het etiket was nog altijd niet klaar (the label was still not ready). Very glad to finally visit because only a few bottles were left of this one after the 2018 Feniks & Friends festival. Apparently the beer was well appreciated there because all remaining bottles were bought. Luckily Gert kept some for tasting purposes in the tasting room. Clear dark yellow with fine creamy white head. Nose is malts, hops, spices. Taste is malts, nice gentle bitterhops, little spice, medium dry. Damn this is a very nice combination of malts & hops. Nothing too much, nice balanced but tempting enough but it's not the first time Gert managed to do this in my opinion. I'm still a fan! For me one of his nicest beers.
