Belgian IPA - or rather APA, by a young (2020) ‘Liègeois’ brewing initiative working in the kettles of almost equally young (2019) La Cahute in Limbourg (not Limburg but a village in between Eupen and Verviers) to brew their beer. Thick and dense, hops-enhanced, off-white, fluffy, lightly lacing head on a cloudy peach blonde beer with ‘dirty’ ochre tinge. Aroma very hoppy in a ‘wet’ and earthy kind of way, grapefruit peel, thyme (quite strong – actually used?), fresh wormwood leaf, wet autumn leaves, moist white pepper, dry biscuit, old orange zest, leftover dough, cooked apple, peach, rosemary, cooked chicken, bitter honey, tonic water, damp earth. Estery onset, yeasty more than hoppy, with lots of sweet red apple, pear and peach, prickly carbonation with minerally effects, soft bready core with biscuity and cracker-like edges under growing floral and earthy hoppiness, fighting against residual sugariness and phenolic yeastiness but eventually managing to push its wormwood- and grapefruit peel-coloured bitterness through. It just falls short to effectively counter the sweetness, though, even if an orange zest-like aspect lingers – actually matching that sweetness well. Ends earthy, yeasty, fruity and bready like many Belgian hoppy beers these days, but lacks hop bitterness in the end, which I assume is intended to evoke the APA feel – but in the end result, what I got is a Belgian style blonde with above average hop aroma, with the finish remaining too sweet. More dryness, less yeastiness and more outspoken hop character could perform miracles here even without deviating from the APA intentions.
