Description
February 2020, Brussels. We brew for the first time at home. We don't really know what we're doing yet. We think. We try. We make mistakes. We try to improve it as best we can. And then we stress throughout the fermentation.
We start microbrewery lessons at the EFP in Brussels and we brew dozens of tests before finalizing our first beer: the Fugushima.
Not currently having a standard brewing place meeting the highest of standards or sufficient financial means, we lend the recipe to a partner brewery (Brouwerij Anders, Halen, Limbourg) to start. By offering beers that represent who we are, we hope one day to be able to swim together in the hops and make you discover the fruits of our own production.

33cl can @ Planchette, Etterbeek. BB 2/4/2023.
Couleur pâle léger voile paille, col épais blanc-cassé, crémeux tenace.
Arôme est frais, belle dose de houblons sans partir dans tous les sens - ici deux bases Citra et Simoe suffisent pour apporter de fines effluves d'agrumes et de pin, léger rétro terreux/herbacé avec une base de malts qui perce en rétro-nasal, apportant de fait, la base suffisante pour un bon équilibre.
Palais est plaisant, une IPA de bonne facture surfant sur la vague 'hazy' sans pour cela submerger le palais. Le tout garde un bel apport des houblons - pas mal d'agrumes auxquels se prêtent de fines notes de pin du Simcoe. C'est assez bien ficelé, et rappelle des classiques de la côte ouest.

Bière 33 cl bue au Tea Late à Liège. Robe dorée peu trouble, sna strand intérêt. Nez houblon et notes de miel. Bouche sur les fruits exotiques, pamplemousse, mangue. Sympa mais les saveurs pourraient être plus intenses.
