Slightly hazy golden colour with a mediumsized foamy white head. Aroma is somewhat skunky "lagery" with mild herbs. Flavour is grassy, herbal, some grainy tones with mild vegetables as well. Luckily not a Pils, as it would have had some flaws for a lager.

75cl bottle @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentines Day tasting, Feb 26. Pours unclear gold, large white head that fills the glass. Aroma of weedy citrus hop, yeast. Flavour profile brings a bright, fresh yeast profile alongside a robust De Ranke bitterness, some weedy, grassy, herbal moments, long dry finish. Always good.

Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a two finger khaki foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did some light lace stuck to the glass
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate; some earthiness, coffee roast and subtle woody spices
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fair sweet to roasty and very light bitterness; finishes semi-sweet and slightly roasty
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; light smoothness along the tongue; light roasty astringency on the tongue
Overall: who knew a Belgian brewer could brew an American styled porter but then again 2SP from Philly helped them too, so there's that. I'd have this again.

Bottle to chalice
Appearance: dark amber color with a thin cap of a little eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: Belgian candied dark fruits, banana, vanilla, light Belgian yeastiness; lemon, wet grains and a touch of honey
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine Belgian sweet to slightly spicy quality; finishes Belgian sweet & semi-spicy
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; nice smoothness with that "back-of-the-throat" Belgian grip; light dryness
Overall: I dig this one and would definitely welcome it again!

Bottle. Yearly must have. 6th year in a row now. Color: Slightly hazy golden, large frothy white head. Aroma: Floral and grassy hop, malty. Taste: Malt, some hay, nice grassy and floral hopbitterness coming in after a second or two. Spicy and light yeasty hints. Bread notes. Nice very long lasting very dry and bitter finish. Bitter palate. Just over medium body, average carbonation. Starting moderate sweet and moderate bitter, going to over medium bitterness at the finish. Very nice, like every year before!

2025 bottle. Pours a deep, partially hazy red; gets just a few carbonation bubbles that disappear instantly. A surprisingly quite subdued (and also a bit undefined) aroma: a soft, wet wood like base, maybe with a dough like hint to it, light fruity notes (more raspberry than cherries actually), hints of lactic sourness. More pronounced sourness (and a bit more vividness) in taste: mainly lactic, and slightly soft-feeling, as the smell suggested, still backed up by a good amount of sweetness. Notes as per aroma; again, i get more raspberries than cherries. Still a slightly unclean/undefined taste, but the beer finds a good overall sweet/sour balance. Medium body, very light carbonation with a hint of fizziness to bring a bit of liveliness; feels mostly slick on the overall. Maybe an unlucky bottle, but what i had was no more than a decent/mediocre sour.

0.75l bottle, shared with Ogi at Ambasada. Clearish dark amber body really (unless you dump the yeast shot in), off-white, thick big head. Fun aroma, caramel, orange candy, floral and herbal notes. Remarkably uninspired taste then - bit herbal and floral, hoppy, some phenols, light maltiness, bitterish finish, a bit limp. Okay, had better De Ranke beers.
