Bottle. Deep Amber with no head. Aroma is soft fruit. Flavour is sticky booze, woody, cherries on a sour bitter finish. Not really for me.

Bottle shared with Urbansprawl. Light yellow gold with a thin head. Aroma is burnt twigs. Flavour is bitter wheat, a little blue cheese (yup sounds strange). Sour finish, unusual stuff, like a lot of the revival beers.

This one is a bit of a curveball, labeled as a Saison, same abv, but this is brewed at ’t Hofbrouwerijke, not sure if this is a new entry for BPBP or not. Pours an effervescent gold, large white head typical for a Saison. Banana and clove aroma, some bubblegum. Orange and citrus zest in the favor with some yeasty earthiness. Nice slightly sour finish.
