Ce n'est pas le tout de présenter 130 d'IBU, encore faut-il savoir les maîtriser ! D'ailleurs je ne sais pas trop où ils sont passés car le ressenti est bien inférieur (de moitié !). L'acidité présente ne lui fait pas du bien en tout cas, et les 6,5 % ne sont clairement pas suffisants. Beau ratage en somme. Le visuel ne vient pas améliorer la situation avec un blond orangé trouble (EBC de 18) surmonté d'une fine couche de mousse blanc cassé. Le nez est plutôt agréable sur les fruits exotiques, l'orange et les herbes. Mais à la dégustation, en plus de la structure défaillante, c'est également l'équilibre aromatique qui se délite. A l'attaque, cela va encore, et même si l'alliance acidité/amertume n'est pas des plus réussie, le cocktail agrumes, mangue et herbes est relativement satisfaisant. Tout part en vrille en seconde bouche. Celle-ci est à la fois complètement instable et sur des arômes qui se disloquent complètement laissant apparaître des notes de plastique. L'arrière bouche surprend, plus douce et sucrée, elle permet néanmoins aux arômes de mieux s'exprimer (orange, pamplemousse, mangue et herbes, et toujours de petites notes plastiques). Le final est quant à lui un peu court, herbacé et sur le pamplemousse. Tout comme pour l'alcool, il ne sert à rien de présenter de hauts niveaux d'amertume si on ne sait la maîtriser.

27 January 2019. At Goeste Festival, Ghent. Shared with Anke! Pours hazy black with a lasting, thin, frothy, beige head; little lacing. Aroma of coffee roast, coffee pad, toast, 'basic' fondant, earth, wet leaves, chestnut, chocolate cake. Taste is light malty sweet, quite nutty, chestnut & walnut with a hint of dark chocolate; light to medium roasted bitter then with 'basic' coffee & an earthy note, vague sourish blackcurrant in the back. Dryish, toasty, herbal hoppy finish, lingering coffee (pad), some chocolate powder. Light to medium body (at best), watery texture, soft carbonation. Rather short & too basic, bland palate... Needs some steroids!

Saison with quince by Broers, a brewery in the Meetjesland region northwest of Ghent. Bottle from Dranken De Moor. Egg-white, loose and thin head, breaking open very quickly and eventually all but lost, over a pale yellowish straw blonde beer with vague greenish tinge, misty but perturbed by lively sparkling. Aroma of indeed quince but in a 'raw' kind of way, like hard unripe pear and green apple, embedded in hints of white bread pulp, lime flesh, chalk, raw rhubarb, cucumber, straw, dust. Crisp 'green fruitiness' in the onset, unripe apple and pear again so likely the effect of the quince, some lime-like fruity sourishness associated with it as well but remaining low in sweetness, medium fizz, smooth but soapy mouthfeel; cereally, bit thinnish pale malt body with this green unripe fruit accent lingering and even turning a little bit wry, especially when it begins to blend with a leafy, medium long yet nowhere harsh hop bitterness; some 'dusty' yeast notes and a notable chalkiness in the end as well. Decent and original fruit beer, a saison perhaps in its crispness and quenching properties, with an unusual choice of fruit. Dry and refreshing, I must admit I expected worse.

Sampled at Gents bierfestival 2018. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours clear blonde, nearly no head. Smell is sweaty. Taste is sharp, tart, sweaty, not very hoppy. Very weak, yes, even for this abv.

Thanks to sharing RB crew. Sampled bottled @ Gents Bierfestival 2018. Golden orange, small white. Nose is quite metallic, dull, iron, faint glue,… Surprisingly bland beer, neutral grain, orange, metallic, vague kettle sour, almost mineral, overall surprisingly neutral.
