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.

Bottle at the Airbnb from a Super U. Pours deeper copper with a white head. Nose is dark sugars, light esters, malts and spices. Taste is sweet, showing sugars, esters, light caramel malts and some spices, vaguely resembling rum perhaps. Medium bodied with soft carbo. Meh.

.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.
