Champagne beer from an unusual aluminum bottle. Lacing, moussy, egg-white, slowly dissipating head over a misty peach blonde beer with amberish hue. Sweet and spicy aroma of orange peel, biscuit, sweet sparkling rosé wine, cava, ’jenever’, pineapple juice, cloves, vanilla, peach, cinnamon. Sweet white candi sugar in the mouth with pineapple, peach and soft gooseberry fruitiness, finely sparkling fizz, medium thick mouthfeel, biscuity malt sweetness, indeed a champagne- or in fact rather cava-like aspect, bready, late and brief hop bitterish touch, clove-like phenols, spicy vanilla accent, some warming alcohol. Champagne yeast-refermented version of a sweet tripel in the style of e.g. Bosteels’ Karmeliet and actually not bad at that at all.
