Can at home in London - picked up at Borough Wines in Hackney. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Grainy malts in the nose, a little apple, ripening citrus. Light sweet flavour with further pale grains, white bread, fine grassy bitterness. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with more grassy bitterness, simple pale bread, lightly husky grains, light apple, orange peel. A little too bitter in the aftertaste. So so overall.

Can sample at a tasting at Ben’s place. Thanks Tom L. Dark brown to black with a nice tan head. Aroma of roast, some oranges, some chocolate, coffee. Sweetish flavor, roasty, with coffee, some chocolate, a bit of oranges, and an ashy bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Decent.

28/VI/16 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker) @ the pre-AdamChandler-tasting, Erwin's ponton - BB: 15/XI/16 (2016-706)
Clear dark orange beer, big irregular off-white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, oxidized, bit sweet, some orange peel, Madeira, marzipan. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet malty start, some honey, bit oxidized, caramel malts, soft bitterness, hoppy. Aftertaste: sweet, caramel malts, bitter, little fruity. Either the date on this can is completely wrong, or the BB-date is way to long after canning. Not a bad beer in se, but this has very little to do with an ipa. And calling your beer an ipa as a craft brewer, creates certain expectations, these days.

Clear dark reddish brown beer, creamy beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: malty, lots of chocolate, caramel, lots of dried fruits, raisins. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste:s oft smoke touch, pretty roasted, cocoa powder, little sweet, bit sourish. Aftertaste: roasted, soft chilli, some coffee, little bitter, sweet malts. I'd like to see more smoke and more chilli in this beer, then it'd be really good.

Can. Clear amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth, fairly dry with reasonable carbonation. Caramel malts, sweet with a little cream. Hops are dry pithy, some orange peel. Mild pine. Dry caramelly finish. Somewhat malt forward and a bit dry pithy. Okay.

250 ml. draft @ Moeder Lambics Fontainas. Clear darker shade of orange with a creamy solid white head. Nose is moldy industrial hops, barn & unpleasant mothballs. Taste is weird moldy, big unpleasant herbal mothballs, something dirty, faint butter & big malty & herbal body. Strange mothball bitter profile doesn’t appeal to me, body saves it a bit, taste is not the greatest.

Draught Dense white head over faintly veiled orange beer. Fruity nose with citrus, but also strawberry, somewhat toasted malts. Bitter, bitter vegetables and kumquat. Medium bodied, well-carbonated. Despite the hops, quite clean flavourprofile. Quite good, better even seen its ABV.
