6th Feb 2015: 33cl bottle in the lovely ’Yesterdays World Beer’ a bar inside an antique shop in Brugge. Slight haze to my amber pour, the head a good showing of white bubbles. Nice tulip shaped glass badged for the beer helped to make it look good. Citrus notes in a semi-sweet nose, spiced with something but I couldn’t pick it up. Taste also semi-sweet with an orange hint within the fruitiness and that spiciness again giving the beer a tropical feel to it’s flavour. OK, but not what I expected.

Thanks to tderoeck! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG IV.2014 Vintage / Version. GUSHER. Hazy brown, little head. Sweet malt, sugar, very basic & boring nose, overripe fruit, light cheep booze but barely there. Taste is fizzy sugar, boring overripe fruit, barrel is at first barely there but becomes more apparent the more you drink, finish carries cheap jenever,.. Sugary body,… Very lousy & boring beer in my opinion & the price tag of 20 € doesn’t really improve my opinion of it.

Taste: very yeasty, bit sugary, banana, alcohol, watery. Aftertaste: lots of yeast, banana, alcohol, soft bitterness. Nope. Also: at €20 per bottle, ridiculously expensive!

Bottle @ RBBWG 2015 shared by tderoeck. Opaque reddish color, virtually no head. Smell and taste malts sweetish, sugary, slightly liquor, a hint of iron. Average body and carbonation. Meh.

Commissioned by the Oostendse Bierjutters and originally made at Strubbe, which this rating is about. Off-white, thin, lacing, moussy head and warm golden blonde colour, initially clear but hazy with deposit. Aroma of pale malts, clear iron, wet cloth, grassy hops, straw, coriander, grapefruit, ureum and some ’wet dog’. Fruity, mildly sweet and mineral-like onset with fairly strong carbonation, metallic ’zing’, some spicy notes probably due to coriander, some caramel in the background, medium long hoppy, bitterish finish. Not too attractive in aroma and a bit bland in the mouth, I would not recommend this too much.

Gushing to huge, dense & fine amberish-tinted head over veiled old-gold coloured beer with a lively, fine pearling. Quite spicy nose (no idea what), some toasted malts aromas. Bit fruity esters, as heavily diluted pineapple juice. Again some toasted malts, spicing seems more a suggestion here. Sweet-sour(ish) finish, reinforcing the pineapple impression. Overcarbonated, fizzy, light body, even watery. Oh dear. What was the idea here?
