2012 Vintage. 33 cl. bottle @ Bier Central. Sans yeast – golden with a soapy collapsing white head. Smell is sweet fruity, flowers, yeast, apples, flowery yeast but bit muted possibly due to age. Taste is that of bitter esters, unmasked alcohol, grains, banana, glowers, sharply bitter, touch plasters and sharp spice yeast. Too much carb. With yeast – unfortunately there is too much yeast in this one when added too much bitter plaster and touch dirt, lots of cardboard, touch spoiled medication, not too pleasant and bit harsh to consume – not too bad without it though.

15/VIII/2012 33cl @ Internationaal Streekbierenfestival (Zwevegem) - BB: n/a (2012-943) Thanks to Erwin for sharing all the beers together!
Little cloudy mud brown beer, aery irregular beige head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: caramel, dried fruits, some overripe fruits, hint of citrus, raisins. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: dried fruits, raisins, bit of port, some chocolate, caramel. Aftertaste: caramel, some raisins, port, some honey, little bitter.
Note: despite the website from Flanders Events states that their mission is to introduce people to new beers from smaller breweries (etc.), they at first refused to tell me where the beer was made. "Oh, just some small brewery, I'm sure you've never heard of it before." It was only after incisting for a long time, that they told me it was from "Dubocq", and then looking at the case, they corrected: "oh no, it's from De Cock". Great job, guys.

Cloudy beige to light brownish beer, small off-white aery head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: pretty fruity, apples, sweet, bit sugary, malts, candy, apple juice. MF: good carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet malts, very sugary, some ripe fruits, bit of citrus, more sugar. Aftertaste:s ome spices (coriander?), orange peel, sugary, bit of alcohol. I think it needs more sugar. *sigh*

Virtually no head over fully hazy orange-amber beer. Coriander, citrus peel, strawberry, but not inviting. As a watered-down sangria that stood too long. Sourish, strawberry flavour again, like a strawberry liqueur mixed with diluted lactic acid. Light to medium bodied, alcohol fully hidden. Strange, is it meant to be like a Flemish sour, or is it simply infected?
