Clear reddish orange beer, big creamy off-white head, unstable, falls down quickly, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bah, weird, bad dirty smell, sulphur, lots of cauliflower, cabbage, pretty bad, don’t like it! MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sourish, some raspberries, very vegetal, very soupy, bitter touch, herbal, a bit grassy. Aftertaste: acidic touch, raspberries, autolyse maybe, cabbage, cauliflower, 4VG, sulphur, bah, really bad. I really wanted to like this beer, but it’s an utter drain-pour.

5/IV/24 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Barjac (FR), BB: 27/XII/25, lotnr: HH23001 (2024-207)
Pretty clear orange beer, big fluffy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, fruity, some lychee, a bit malty, grains, some citrus, oranges. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty malty, grains, very bitter, a bit oxidized, cardboard, more oxidation, ok. Aftertaste: bitter, spicy, grassy, a bit malty, more oxidation, a bit sweet, gentle bitterness. Rather disappointing. I guess brewing a hoppy pale ale as a test brew can prove rather challenging...
