9 September 2018. At Brouwbar, Ghent. Shared with Anke.
Pours clear golden with a lasting, big, foamy, white head; lots of lacing. Fresh aroma of peach, red apple, red grape, mango, grapefruit peel, kiwi, faint almond & bread. It tastes light fruity sweet, hints of peach & mango, and light to medium hoppy bitter, grapefruit peel & orange rind; bit bready with a touch of raisin. Dry, peppery & almost resinous hoppy finish but quickly balanced by a lingering fruitiness and warming alcohol. Medium body, slick/oily texture, soft carbonation. Subtle, elegant, easily drinkable DIPA - though I'd prefer the NEIPA too!

9 September 2018. At Brouwbar, Ghent. Shared with Anke.
Pours clear yellow with a lasitng, small, unstable, frothy, off-white head; some lacing. Aroma of baker's yeast, freshly baked bread, white pepper, rye, almond & artisan marzipan (frangipane!), apple, unripe apricot & dried banana. It tastes medium malty sweet, almond, frangipane again, even cookie, with a yeasty touch, and light to medium spicy bitter, peppery & faintly hoppy. Dryish, peppery hoppy finish, a tad spicy, lingering yeast, touch of citrus, warming gin alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. The - so far - least adventurous Brouwbar brew, but unusual and interesting, although the yeastiness is very thick in this one.

9 September 2018. At Brouwbar, Ghent. Shared with Anke.
Pours clear golden with an orange hue and a lasting, big, foamy, off-white head; irregular lacing. Aroma of lime juice, lemon zest, bread, sourdough, hand soap, gin, white pepper. It tastes medium fruity sour, quite yeasty, balancing lime juice & lemon zest; fruity sweet touch of apple & pear in the medium hoppy bitter middle, hints of earth & pine. Dry, peppery hoppy finish, sourish dough in the back. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Though not my favourite style, it's quite elegant and easy to drink.

Draft at the brewpub. Bright pale yellow, hazy, with bubbles and a thick head. Mineral nose, honey, orange, weirdly dry. Sweet apples and honey flavor, a bit rough with some strange fermentation character. Dusty, candy. Soft and silky.
