Bottle from a Carrefour. Pours hazy ochre with a lasting, frothy, white head. Aroma of rhubarb, flowers, green apple, gooseberries, soap, white tea, cheese, lactic acid. Taste is light to medium fruity sour, hinting at gooseberries, lemon, quite soapy, wheaty perhaps, with sweetish apple & pear. Underneath there is a bitter herbal impression, tea-like, some earthy spices & yeast. Dryish, bit tart, grassy hoppy finish, weirdly funky & herbal. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Weird mix, and not that tasty.

Fles gekocht bij de Cactus in Mersch, op de camping geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een troebel licht oranje bier met een dun wit schuim welke snel weg ebt. Het heeft een zoete metaalachtige geur. De smaak is bloemig en wat zoet.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Yeasty spicy and yeasty fruity aroma, hints of apricot, mirabelle, sparkling wine, a touch of white pepper. Taste is dry, minimally vinous, yeasty fruity and yeasty spicy, hints of apricot, mirabelle, a touch of sparkling wine again, the lively to fizzy carbonation fortifies that brut impression. Overcarbonated.

Bottle from Carrefour in Ghent. Pours cloudy yellow with a big, slowly thinning, frothy, unstable, off-white head; some lacing & sediment. Aroma of sour milk, matured cheese, gooseberries, hay, green banana, unripe apricot, apple peel, yeast, sourdough. Taste is light to medium funky sour, some unripe apricot & wheat but aspects of sourdough & expired yoghurt gain strength, bit lactic too; fruity notes of apple & banana; somewhat grassy & spicy bitter. Dry, grassy hoppy finish, bit spicy & grainy, lingering wheaty tartness, lactic, apple, but the funky character remains. Medium body, slick/watery texture, lively carbonation (numbing!). Something went wrong here (infection?), or, if intended, it's not my style at all!

Bouteille 33cl de InterMarché Bruxelles Centre, BB 23/04/2020. Ambrée-orange sur léger trouble, col crémeux blanc-cassé tenace. Arôme sur de belles effluves umami-champignons, sous-bois, malté caramel, pâle. Le tout se retrouve rehaussé par le champignon et un léger accompagnement de mousse de sous-bois. Palais reste assez belge dans l'approche grains, je note un effet sec poussiéreux, malt pâle, cara Munich, pils avec une petite pointe de grillé, le tout avec une amertume houblonné noble.

Bouteille 33cl d'Intermarché Bruxelles Centre, BB 01/07/2020; Orange sur col épais blanc, petite pointe rosée, et tenace. Bizarrement , je ne trouve pas la couleur tant marquée pourpre du bissap habituel. Arôme offre un bouquet belge dans la levure, le rétro tend à balancer sur un houblonné noble sous couvert de fines effluves de bissap Palais est léger centré sur un houblonné noble amertume latente citronnée et un effet bissap trop discret retrouve juste cette impression acerbe que je reconnais bien. Cependant, la bière aurait peut-être mieux profiter du bissap dans une bière plus forte où les sucres résiduelles auraient fait ressortir le jus et couleur. Acerbe sur la fin avec un effet léger de fruits rouges, retrouve aussi un côté malt pils - houblon noble sur la fin. Intéressant à déguster, mais un peu décevant sur le résultat, moi qui suis pour le moment au Niger où le bissap est fait un peu partout sous forme de jus très sucré. Le goût en infusion étant acerbe.

Flower beer flavoured with roselle, a Hibiscus species best known for its fibres but also as a red food colorant and as the dried red flowers sometimes added to e.g. a glass of champagne as a gimmick. Bottle shared by tderoeck. Irregularly shaped, snow white, lacing, stable head, misty peach blonde robe with salmon pink tinge clearly established by the roselle. Aroma of a whole lot of roselle, perfumey and plasticky even, but also suffering from an unpleasant sulfuric effect often associated with clumsy use of plant materials in beer; other impressions include chalk, red apple, soap, iron, melon, banana. Sweet, basic Belgian fruity profile (banana and apple) heavily drenched in an overdose of roselle; medium carbonated, soapy, grainy basis, but the roselle adds so much soapiness, plasticky and perfumey sweet effects that it dominates the entire beer till deep in the finish; some dimly lime-like sourishness too. I never liked Hibiscus flower beverages so this was never going to be my cup of tea, but other than that, this is at the very best a thin and bland Belgian ale suffering from an overdose of roselle, causing a bunch of unpleasant plasticky, sulfuric and soapy-perfumey flavours which I cannot appreciate at all.
