Bottle from the brewery webshop. Hazy mango color with no real head. Mango, oats, orange, light wort, soft herbal notes, lime. Light sweet and sour. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Quite OK, it's not really beer but it's fruity and refreshing and not so damn sweet like artificial radlers.

Bottle. Quite some wheat, a hint of wort but really not that bad, lots of passion fruit, some mango and lime. Light bodied. Quite decent non alcoholic IPA, really improved on when I had it the first time.

0.33 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', best before July 2022. Opaque, almost black with a medium large, quite dense, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty and a little fruity aroma of caramel, dried fruits, nuts and a touch of chocolate. Gently sweet, malty, quite bitter, slightly roasty, moderately fruity-resiny taste of caramel, cocoa, toasted nuts, blueberry, dried fruits and a touch of pine, followed by a short, quite bitter, gently roasty and a little resiny finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Rather hoppy for a Bock, quite complex, rich and smooth. Good!

0.33 l bottle from 'OnderNulPuntVijf' simply as 'Oersoep Dodgeball', best before February 2022. Clear, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of melon, mango and some orange. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-floral taste of mango, orange, melon and traces of wort, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a little resiny finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent NAIPA.

Oersoep's take on the Flemish oud bruin (or, more meaningfully put according to many authors, Vlaams rood), 75 cl bottle shared with Goedele and Steve. Eggshell-white, thin, open head, quickly reduced to a waferthin creamy ring over a misty ruddy-bronze beer with warm orangey-amber hue. Aroma of maracujá, raspberry vinegar, cooked plum, rosé wine, purple gooseberries, caramel, brown bread, tart grape juice, wood glue, redcurrant, orange peel, vanilla-ish oak wood touch. Estery fruity onset, passionfruit, medlar, plum and sharp redcurrant effects, even slightly (red wine-) vinegary at the edges with the emphasis remaining on fruitiness rather than puckering acidity; softish carb, supple, lean body. A slick hard-caramelly malt core shows a slightly softer brown-bready edge, all dried by that fruity sourness and - later on - by tannic woodiness, clearly evoking a 'wet oak wood' aspect at about the same time a vague, underlying echo of dimly herbal hops shows up. The tart, lively, crisp fruitiness remains the dominant factor, though, turning even a bit citric in the end, with lingering notes of unripe mandarin, grape skin and green plum. Complex Flemish red for sure; one of the better Dutch interpretations of this ancient style so far for me, even, because it marries credibility and respect for the traditions with a more tart, daring and challenging, almost American style sourness. More than decent.

Bottle at home, golden beer, small head. Aroma is malt, sweet, wheat, citrus, taste. Taste is the same, wheat, tart, bitter, citrus, lemon, ok beer.
