Description
Een wijkbrouwerij zoals elke wijk er vroeger eentje had: dat is Gistgeest. Naast het Boelaerpark, in mijn kelder, brouw ik op 120 liter bieren en stijlen waar ik zelf fan van ben. Saison, ipa, stout of zonderstijl. Kleinschalig en zonder poespas, maar steeds met veel smaak. En ik doe het allemaal zelf – van recepten verzinnen, over brouwen, tot bottelen.

Pours very foamy , bit unclear blonde. Foam fades medium slow, especially for the size. Scent is be yeast, bready malts, some spices but not at all dominant, and hard to pinpoint exactly what they are. Lemons are recognizable if known. Taste is sharp, slick acidity, lactic acid seemingly, some citric tartness and aroma as well. Spices are mild but not lost. Carbonation is (too) high. Feels a bit oily though its fairly dry tastewise. Bit of a weird beer, but that meets expectations after reading the description. It doesnt become off putting though, which is a thin line not to cross, but gistgeest handled it well. Still, wouldnt call this my favorite either. Perhaps it would be better with the food it's made for to be paired with ?

18/XII/24 - 33cl bottle @ Syntra Zytho class (post exam drink), BB: 20/VI/25 (2024-1291) Thanks for sharing the bottle!
Pretty clear orange blond beer, creamy big yellowish head, pretty stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: very spicy, yeasty, dirty, weird, funky, raw carrots, malty touch, chemical, quite some band-aid. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: yeasty, dirty, weird, funky, unpleasant, rubbery, chemical. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, more chemical flavours, dirty, weird, unpleasant finish, don’t like this one little bit. Something clearly went badly wrong in the brewing of this beer. The outcome is horrible!

Bottle at tasting. Clear yellow color, full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, yeasty, light tartish hints, herbal a bit and a sweetish hint. Fizzy carbonation, decent body. Not bad but a bit fizzy carbonation that lightly annoys me.
