Bouteille 33cl. Dorée paille trouble, col fin crémeux blanc. Bb 04/2021. Merci Benoît. Dernière bière bue à Agadez. Belle manière de clôturer 4 ans de mission.
Arôme est frais houblonné. Un peu herbacé, boisé. Sous-bois et conifère, genévrier. Levure belge.
Palais est houblonné, sec, touche herbacée voire se gazon sec. Fourrage à ce un côté sous-bois, baies sauvages pour liqueur rampent presque le genévrier. Pointe belge dans l'approche amertume avec once douce de sucre et levure belge. Garde un caractère très belge à ce un fini fin épicé plaisant.

The first beer from a new 'bierfirma' in Brussels, longneck bottle with rather dull-coloured, old-fashioned label. Hisses during opening, but not a gusher. Thick and foamy, frothy, egg-white, membrane-lacing, very stable head remaining densely closed for a long time, over a hazed deep 'old gold' beer with ochre hue and lively strings of sparkling moving upwards here and there; more deeply ochre and misty with sediment. Aroma of banana-flavoured bubblegum (yet not over the top), bread crumbs, ripe pear, green melon, moist white pepper, dried thyme, sawdust, old dried grapefruit peel, straw, dusty coriander seed, vaguer notes of stale armpit sweat, spoiled potato soup and raw green kale. Fruity-estery onset, some banana but much less so than expected, accents of pear, green apple and some vague apricot but in all restrained in sweetness; sourishness from strong, fizzy carbonation, a bit numbing at first but quickly calming down a bit and actually fit for the style. Wet old bread-like malt body, soft with sharper grainy edges, spicy phenolic and coriander seed notes quickly overcome by a resinous, peppery hop bitterness, firm, glueish, wormwood-like and very quenching, drying the finish and pushing up floral and old dried citrus peel aromas retronasally. The hoppiness lasts for quite a while, with a pepper-like effect. Very pleasant quencher really, a modern hop-forward version of classic Belgian blonde like there are many around nowadays, but not half bad for a first attempt. Enjoyed it, and let's hope this can be the starting point of a string of interesting, characterful, hoppy and modern ales, so that a new name can be added to the 'nouvelle vague' of young and up-to-date Brussels micro brewers.

01/08/2018 - 33cl bottl from Belgopop. Drank from the bottle. Nose & taste is some malt, gentle bitterhops. Easy drinking, good but misses some aftertaste.
