Small, fast dwindling whitish head; metallic chromate yellow beer. Mineral, bit of cedar or cypress, and then indeed mirabelles, yellow plums. Plums, mirabelles, with a remaining sweetness. Again somewhat mineral, but hardly acidic - certainly for a Gose. There is a light sourishness backthroat after swallowing. Quite slick, not more than medium bodied, soft carbonation. Sweet for a Gose, if certainly nice. Txs to Stef!

Orange-flavoured IPA inspired by the Italian "Spritz" cocktail, created by Brussels Beer Project; bought in a supermarket somewhere a while ago, now sampling at three months after it was canned. Medium thick, snow white, irregular, lightly lacing, slowly diminishing head over an initially clear, warm apricot-tinged golden robe with lively visible sparkling, misty and deeper orangey gold in the end. Aroma indeed reminiscent of Aperol Spritz, next to hints of 'fake' orange peel, orange-flavoured children's vitamins I remember from childhood, melon, minerals, Moscato d'Asti, vague accents of green tea, damp earth, Fanta Pink Grapefruit, dried out and crumbled brioche, old biscuit, straw. Flavoured onset: the orange juice concentrate piercing through an indeed very clean, smooth profile of slick cereally pale maltiness with little fruity ester activity, side notes of melon and lychee but in a volatile way, minerally carb - or dare I say 'spritzy' - all leading up to an unexpectedly bitter finish, tonic water-like, or indeed reminiscent of Italian bitter liqueur (amaro), though perhaps still a notch softer than that. There is hop bitterness to it, sure, but most of this 'ending', drying bitterness is established by that added orange flavouring - like biting in an orange peel, but more artificial, if you get my drift; flashes of orangey sweetness keep piercing through, though, so this bitterness, however powerful, is not all-consuming. Bittersweet cocktails still enjoy great popularity - especially in summer, which is probably why this is not 'my beer': I generally dislike bitter liqueur, and I am having this on a chilly March night rather than a warm summer outdoors café. As an Italian style cocktail in beer form, in itself an original concept, this is actually quite well done, I think my girlfriend - who is quite fond of Negroni, Aperol Spritz and the like - would probably like this a lot. For me personally a bit too gimmicky, not to the extent where it loses its 'beeriness', but not very convincing in either malts or hops either. Interesting idea executed interestingly, I must admit, just not my personal cup of tea, I am afraid.

Bottle picked up from BBP Dansaert, Brussels. Had this Friday 27th February 2026 around Isobel's, Spond, Herefordshire whilst thinking about making a Chicken Tikka Masala. Pours yellow with a mid sized white head. Nice gentle and soft carbonation, not sure why this is a Winter Blond, I would have expected a little winter spice, there doesn't appear to be any, but tbf there is a little regular spice Belgian edge. Light sweetness, a little bit fruity, not necessarily picking up any apple though. Decent beer. Score 7.1

Can picked up from Brussels Beer Project, Dasaert, Brussels. Had this 26th February 2026 at Isobel's, Spond, Herefordshire whilst making Pizza, well Loz is making it I am just assisting. Pours light straw actually lemon coloured with a slim white soft, the nose is a bit of cats piss, there's also a bit of maltiness. Easy drinking, there's a little streakiness, fuzzy light bitterness, clean, dry an interesting beer again not amazing but solid. Score 6.8

Can picked up from BBP Dansaert, Brussels. Had this 26th February 2026 at Isobel's, Spond, Herefordshire whilst making Pizza, well Loz is making it I am just assisting. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Soft mouthfeel, juicy, fruity with big nods to orange and perhaps other citrus. Bitter, in fact streaky bitterness, finish is drying. Score 6.8, okay I am being a bit harsh upping this to a score of 7.0

On tap at BBP Dansaert, Brussels Wednesday 25th February 2026 after an almost 8hr train journey from Plattling via a change in Frankfurt. Pours hazy warm gold/light amber with a white head, soft mouthfeel, nice carbonation, a little mushy overipe fruit, okay in fact quite good, but all told this is another that's not quite hitting the target. Score 6.9

On tap at BBP Dansaert, Brussels Wednesday 25th February 2026 after an almost 8hr train journey from Plattling following a 40-50 min change in Frankfurt. Pours hazy yolk colour with a white head, very soft in the mouth, also very easy drinking DIPA. Not amazing but the aroma suggests a hint of gooseberry, and whilst there's a nice fruity tang it doesn't quite deliver the oomph I hoped. Score 7.0

On tap at BBP Dansaert, Brussels Wednesday 25th February 2026 after an almost 8hr train journey from Plattling via a change in Frankfurt. Pours hazy light/mid amber with a white head, soft mouthfeel, better aroma than mine (the Harvest DIPA), malty and with a little bit of a punch. Good. Score 7.1

0.33l bottle, courtesy of Elvis. Aroma of wheat, coriander and banana peel. Pours clear golden color with thin creamy white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts moderate sweet grainy, dried fruity and yeasty, following is herbal, spicy and medicinal, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is on a drier side and heavy bitter. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Efficient triple project…
