Bottle from take-away. Hazy yellow with a small, frothy, white head. Aroma of banana, ripe apple, apricot, melon, toasted white bread, honey, clove, wheat, vague mandarin peel. Taste has sweetish banana & apple, subtle pear, not overly estery at that, sourish wheat underneath against a bready malty backbone. Clove-like spiciness announces the spicy-earthy hoppy finish where dry yeast & ripe yellow fruit linger. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Elegantly & still subtly hopped Weizen.

Pretty cloudy amber blond beer, big bubbled but small head, dissipates immediately, leaving no lacing in the glass. Aroma: tropical fruits, some nail polish, orange peel, mango, pineapples, sweet malts, caramel, honey, bit oxidized, hint of rum, some overripe tropical fruits. MF: no carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet malts, caramel, quite some alcohol, sugary, rum, soft bitterness, some nail polish remover, ripe pineapple, papaya, guava, overripe fruits, pretty bitter. Aftertaste: rather dry finish, bitter, lots of alcohol warming in the throat, more tropical fruits, dried orange peel.

O, happy days, because Brouwbar has a new Quadrupel! Bottle from take-away. Hazy dark brown, thin, bubbly, off-white head. Aroma - at first impression - of band-aid, fading away in favour of candied plum, orange, stewed pear, red apple, toffee, sugared peanut, vague maple syrup, brioche, something savoury like cherry tomato. Taste has candied sweetness of plum, apricot & red apple, syrupy profile but not quite like 'residual sugar', underlying brioche-like & caramelly maltiness with a herbal bitter & nutty middle. Dryish, earthy hoppy finish, lingering candied fruit & toffee & even vaguely spicy, the hops effectively drying out the candied sweetness nicely before warming brandy-like alcohol kicks in. Medium body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Good stuff, thanks Brouwbar for warming the winter days (and our throats)... 30 June 2021. Bottle at cellar temperature. Quite alcoholic, brown rum and caramel, toned down by candied fruits. Less band-aid. Sweet sugary fruits, caramel, phenols. Brown rum alcohol. So good.

Pretty clear orange blond beer, big creamy irregular white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, grains, banana, bit herbal, some cow fodder, overripe banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots and lots of banana, malty, grains, bit herbal, grassy bitterness, some citrus. Aftertaste: yeasty, spicy touch, lots of banana, slightly sweet, soft bitterness, hint of citrus. Not bad, but a bit too heavy on the banana for me.

33cl bottle, merci à Tderoeck, BB 07/07/2020. Bottled 07/04/2020.
Dorée léger trouble, col blanc.
Arôme présente un nez fin fruité oscillant pas mal sur les agrumes. Pointe de grains / un peu pâtissier en retrait.

Palais est effervescent bien marqué, touche sèche, fruité d'agrumes - citron vert et pamplemousse assez marqués. Retrait un peu baies verte - groseille à maquereau.
Retrouve une petite sécheresse de levure sur la fin avec une bonne note de grains - malt pils.
