10/VIII/24 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Mattie’s place, midsummer mussels dinner with the inlaws, BB: XII/2029 (2024-727)

Pretty clear dark amber beer, small creamy beige head, a little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sugary and fruity, forest fruit flavoured candy (cuberdons), very dirty, chemical, lots of band-aid, pretty bad. Another bad Koelschip beer, wish I could say it came as a surprise, but it doesn’t... MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: a bit sourish, dirty, very chemical, band-aid, sourish, bleh. Aftertaste: a little funky, sourish, infected, a little fruity, chemical, little bitter, red currants, sourish, forest fruits, bah.

Clear golden colour, white foam. Nose of citrus, some fruits, lots and lots of carbonation, some tartness. Very messy and unbalanced. It's very difficult to find a balanced beer from this brewery.

GUSHER ALERT! (oh boy)
Clear blond yellow beer, small creamy to aery white head, unstable, falls down quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: dirty, lots of sulphur, very unpleasant, smells like sewer. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: some citrus, watery, a little grassy, fruity touch, unpleasant bitterness, quite some sulphur, pretty dirty. Aftertaste: citrus, lemony, vegetable, some cabbage, moe sulphur, a little bitter, watery, sourish, unpleasant bitterness, a bit soapy, not good at all. How is this even being sold? Should be poured down the drain instead of anyone’s throat..

Clear golden colour with lasting head and lots of carbonation. Plain tasting. Grainy. Small amount of acidity perhaps from the champagne yeast.

33cl bottle: BBE March 2025, poured into an old Westmalle Trappist chalice at home on 5th February 2024. Slight haze to the golden/amber body, wispy white covering on top. Toffee Apple/caramel nose, the taste more bitter and a bit like 'home brew' used to be like, but with more alcohol kicking about! Pity no one else has tried it because I don't think this is 'right' and shouldn't be so 'amateurish'.
