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. :(

Les Explorateurs in Rouen is a strange little gaff - sort of a half-hearted attempt to make it safari-like, on the banks of the river. Brewer's concentrated fully on the beer though, hazy, slightly paler yellow and solid enough IPA taste with a mix of strength-infused tropical fruit and hops. Has a smoothish texture and taste.

.0.33 l bottle from a French supermarket. Pours deep golden color with a long lasting white head. Hops and raisin in aroma. It has a quite strange, unique taste with hints of hoppy bitterness, resin and something that reminds me of a smoked barrel. Its label says it’s an IPA, it’s categorised as a Belgian ale and has the characteristics of an IPA. Wat wat.
