Bottle at home. Aroma is grassy hops, zesty citrus peel, biscuit malt, grapefruit, tropical fruity notes, slightly herbal-ish. Flavour is very potently bitter. Body is medium. Could be a bit more balanced, the bitterness is off the charts. Nonetheless, this is a very crisp and fruity hoppy IPA.

From tap at Brody's, Den Haag. Aroma is nicely Bretty (intended or otherwise) with farmhouse funk, yeast, floral notes, spices, some citrus, biscuity malt, grass. Flavour is light sourish and sweet. Body is medium. Very tasty, nice farmhouse character.

Hazed, amber colour with golden highlights, a fluffy-bubbly, warm light-beige head, good retention and lots of foamy lacing. Aromas are a nice blend of the caramel malt base, some fresh herbal-grassiness hops and a touch of citrus. The mouthfeel is quite refreshing, more on the thin side and the dryness is not to the max. Again, very fresh herbal hops in the taste with the malt taking a backseat. Some light tart is left, and the dryness does slowly build. Maybe a tad citrus zest. One of the most refreshing, regular IPA I must of had.

I can't read French but the bartender but it piqued my interest. Expensive stemware at Torst, December 2024. Clear, dark cranberry, pale cherry head. Herbal grassy, earthy, lightly moldy, chalky yeast nose. Taste is chalk, dry cranberry, cherry blossoms, mineral water, moldy cheese, hard water. Dry, thin, parching, delicately frothy. Too thin & costly but fun.

Bottle 0,355ltr:Very black colored brew with an very dry bitter taste and hints of roasted malts. But this one gushed out of the bottle, poured out on multiply glasses. I don’t like this gushing beers, are they use the same system as Alvinne or such?

Des notes céréalières de pain toasté aux accents caramélisés, des esters fruités, un soupçon vineux ainsi qu’un léger boisé arrosé de Whisky font foi d’un olfactif complexe mais peu puissant. Ambré profond, le liquide est assez limpide et couvert d’une mousse pétillante qui fond assez rapidement. Maltée et chaleureuse en entrée de bouche avec de belles nuances caramélisées et un alcool assez dominant. Des esters rappelant la cerise se joignent à la palette ainsi que des houblons bien épicés, herbacés et légèrement floraux. Dotée d’une bonne corpulence et d’une texture bien lisse, elle présente une carbonatation assez élevée qui rehausse la sensation épicée en bouche. La chaleur induite par le Whisky rend cette Bière de Garde bien complexe et intéressante malgré l’absence d’environnement sauvage. Fortement appréciée ! O:7.16 V:3.75 G:8.21 C:3.78 G:16.45 T:39.35

5oz pour at Stillwell Barrington. Pours opaque gold-brown. Aroma has some good malts, but is dominated by overly sweet, lots of cloying malts, excess alcohol. Very thick on the palate. Flavour has some malts and citrus, but completely overloaded by boozy malts. Barely palatable. I can't decide whether selling or buying this beer is the greater crime. Don't bother.
