15 September 2024. At 16de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & Jerre!
Hot saké, ripe red apple, burnt brown sugar, wet wood. Sweet red apple & raisin, caramel. Herbal hops, boozy liqueur-like alcohol. Thin oily texture. Too boozy from the start.

3/I/25 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home with Bouvier, BB: 25/XI/25, lot: HH-24016 (2025-8)
Clear gold blond beer, creamy solid off-white to light yellow head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: fruity, lots of ripe to overripe banana, sugary impression, yeast, a bit floral. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, orange peel, a bitter touch, malty, banana, grains, a bit sweet (not brut?), ok. Aftertaste: a bit herbal, a soft acidity, lots of banana, yeasty, a little bitter. Ok, but not my favourite.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 25/08/2025, lot# 23-P204. Merci à Tderoek, dégustée au village en Catalogne.
Pâle, col blanc très actif et remontant de suite tout le verre pour retomber tout aussi rapidement. Légère note florale en rétro-nasal/mielleux (effet mirabelle). Le côté berliner est plus discret avec un petit retour de malté presque biscuité en rétro-nasal.
Arôme sur de fins effluves fruités marqués par la mirabelle - apportant une petite touche de sucrosité classique de cette petite prune oscillant sur une tonalité presque d'abricot.
Palais est très, voire, trop sec. Effervescence perdure à chaque gorgée laissant ce côté pétillant même après. Je note une petite touche de douceur de la mirabelle qui passe en fin de bouche, tout en ayant un côté drêche/empâtage qui accompagne également chaque gorgée. Finement citrique avec un relent de ce côté pâtissier.
In fine, nettement plus fan du bouquet.

28/IX/24 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (Gent), BB: 22/VI/25, lot: HH-24010 (2024-1096)
Clear yellow beer, small creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: weird, funky, overripe pineapple, a bit dirty, nope, not good, grassy touch. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish, dirty, funky, lemony, weird, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: acidic, lemony, funky, and… is it really mint? I don’t know what it is I’m tasting, but it’s not good.

Clear orange blond beer, small creamy white head, stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: very yeasty, a bit fruity, some banana, some citrus. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: malty start, sweet, pretty oxidized, caramel, a bit sugary, banana, more yeast. Aftertaste: sweet, very malty, yeasty, banana, caramel, a little grassy, meh, pretty disappointing for a HopHemel beer.

On tap at the Brugge Beer Festival 2024, Brugge, Belgium. A slightly hazy golden/amber coloured pour with a decent off white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, pine taste/aroma. It’s bitter and a little basic but fine.
