25/IV/25 - 33cl bottle from Mr. Hop (webshop) @ Peter’s 50th birthday party, Cabane Banane (Gent), BB: BB: 31/VIII/26, L06 509 (2025-413) Thanks to Peter for sharing today’s beers!

Clear orange beer, big solid creamy off-white head, a little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very yeasty, a bit malty, grains, cow fodder, hay, barnyard. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very yeasty, grapefruit, sourish touch, meh. Aftertaste: weird, is that wheat maybe? A little bitter, some citrus notes, malty, rather unpleasant bitterness. A waste of those good hops, if you ask me. :(
