Bouteille 33cl, BB 10/11/2025, Lot# 23-P209, merci Tderoeck, partagée avec Carles à Gualta.
Léger sur l’ambre, col épais crémeux tenace blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un caractère houblonné américain classique ; herbacé, finement résineux.
Palais sur une base maltée sympa – pils, pâle et reprenant un côté belge repris en retrait par des houblons US – agrumes et pointe de résine. Assez sympa.

33cl can, merci Tderoeck, dégustée au village en Catalogne.
BB 27/12/2025, lot# HH-23001.
Blonde dorée, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme est dominé par le Sorachi - rétro-nasal sur les céréales/malts, petite note d'agrumes en retrait mais repris de suite par l'apport aneth. Reste fort sur le grain mais laissant une bonne place à un volet houblonné classique pour une pale ale belge bien ficelée.
Palais sur un beau combo houblonné 100% belge. Le tout reste assez herbacé avec un fort accent mis sur l'aneth par l'apport du Sorachi qui domine un peu cette pale ale au caractère très belge. Le tout reste sur un effet noble - sec et poussiéreux, finement citronné en retrait, petite note poivrée et une pointe de pamplemousse (effet Cascade?).
In fine, un pale ale belge qui jouxte ses consœurs telles que la Zinnebir ou encore le XX Bitter.

Clear orange beer, small creamy white to yellowish head, stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: very floral, soapy impression, fake (lab bred) brett notes, a little malty, some caramel, floral notes, some elderflower. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: soft bitterness, pretty soapy, hoppy, more floral, a sweet touch. Aftertaste: pretty dirty, very floral, soapy, unpleasant bitterness, meh.

1/VIII/24 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Ardennes Holiday, BB: 1/III/26, lotnr: HH-24003 (2024-656)
Clear orange blond to amber beer, small creamy beige head, a little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of ripe to overripe banana, malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, a bit spicy, sugary impression with some bubble gum. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, grains, pretty bitter, hoppy, bubble gum and banana (things that don’t belong in a Barley Wine if you ask me, and are probably due to using a Belgian Abbey style yeast). A little woody impression as well. Aftertaste: a bit sweet, alcohol, lots of tannins, bitter, earthy, pretty nice and complex finish that saves the day on this beer! Probably has a good ageing potential, too bad it’s canned and not bottled…
