Pours rather unclear amberblonde. Small white head. Smell is bit grainy, fresh. taste is sharp, bit bitter, very malty. Really mellow towards the end. malty, some hops. Sounds like another boring Belgian ale, but it’s quite a bit better though. More ’fresh’ , more balanced. Not as yeasty. wouldn’t concider it an APA myself ( not hoppy enough ), i think this could be advertised as a very nice Belgian ale though !

This is dangerous!! I can state that I tasted the original Petre Devos from Oudenaarde and it was Oud Bruin - certainly not IPA! A risky tasting for this birthday! Huge, towering very fine and dense faint yellowish head, lacey, over old gold coloured beer. Sourish nose, lemony, nearly hinting @ lambic, but also quite spicy/herbal, turning into a totally different direction. Bitter, spicy - again in yet another direction. Hardly any sourness in the flavour. Seriously fermented out, yet som underlying sweeter malts. Still, quite bitter for only 32 IBU. Light body. Looks undercarbonated, but the feel is OK Noch vis noch vlees...

Little hazy deep orange beer, big fizzy off-white head, unstable, falls down quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: pretty sweet, quite some banana, some tropical fruits, mandarins, yeast, sweet caramel. MF: soft carbon, light to medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, lots of grapefruit, citrus, pretty sweet touch, yeasty, spices. Aftertaste: grassy, spicy, coriander notes I think, fruity touch, yeast, grapefruit, very bitter, some tropical fruits, bit of banana.

Bottle from Geers. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Dry and grassy, yeasty. Medium carbonation. Average beer. This should be listed as Belgian Ale instead of IPA.

05/08/2016 - 33cl bottle @De Zwarten Engel, Etikhove. Thick green colour with medium white head. Yeasty, bitterhops, nice & refreshing but too much yeast. However glad to see this name of an old Brewery from my hometown making a comeback.
