31/X/13 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: 28/X/14 (2013-1017)

Clear deep orange to amber beer, aery off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: honey, ripe to overripe fruits, funky (is it bretta?), orange peel. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: if I ever tasted an Orval clone! Eat this, Mikkeller! Bit funky, somewhat fruity, orange peel, pretty bitter hops. Aftertaste: bretta, though probably artificially bread, bitter adn dry hops, lots of citrus, some grapefruit. Lovely beer! For me, this is the winner of the series.

#900, @Gent, de hopduvel, mooie helder oranje met schuimige witte kraag Aroma: floraal, heerlijke fijne ipa aroma's zoals je mag verwachten (citrus en grapefruit) Smaken: matig zoet, redelijk hoppige bitterheid, matige sterkte, matig fruitig, zwak moutig en zwak kruidig. Zwakke body, dun van textuur, lage co2, vond het een lekkere zachte ipa!

Thick & dense, nearly putty off-white to cream head, stable, over totally hazy orange beer. Very catty hops wafting up on pouring. Cattiness and ureum absolutely not volatile, to the detriment of possible other aromas - maybe some citrus? Bitter-hoppy. Fruity esters, with even some near-sweet citrus as orange, but always an oily presence of hops. Long-lasting bitterness, faint astringency, oily to sticky feel. Medium bodied at least. Bit crude IPA. Pity I couldn’t get my hands on either α nor β, ’cause I got a nagging suspicion they wanted the δ to win... My bad character, maybe.

Absurdly towering dense ivory head, irrregular and leaving shards of lace over hazed orange-brown beer. Heavy, perfumed-spicy nose, the cardamom jumping out of the glass with the head. Dishwashing liquid with christmas herbs. Sharp bitterish spicy, very wry to astringent. Again the cardamom, but all its wry flavour dominating its aromatic vectors. Tannine-like. Really unpleasant mouthfeel, as drinking tea from horsechestnut or acorns. Medium body. Cardamom - as coriander - is a marvelous spice. In oriental food. NOT IN BEER.

Bottled @ de Molen, small sample. Slight hazy golden color, medium head. Aroma of soft citrussy hop, slight funky, soft belgian yeast esters. Not too heavy on the yeast though, which is good and they have put belgian IPA on their label. Slight bitter taste. All in all it’s a typical Belgian beer in that the balance is ok, but nothing really outspoken. The crowdfunding stuff is nice, but I think they should focus on what they like themselves the most instead of making what most people like, because that can only result in bland mediocreness.

Bottle at the De Molen Second Tuesday tasting, September 2013. Poured a clear medium amber with a big frothy white head. The aroma is big fruit and alcohol with a slight hint of paint stripper. The flavour is medium bitter with some grapefruit citrus and yeast on the smooth palate. The bitterness lingers for a while in the finish.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from De Hopduvel. BBF 28/10/2014. This one is also made with brett & spelt as well as cardamom and candy sugar. Smell is huge black liquorish, black bread, unpleasant spices, sticky, something unpleasant for me, syrup, something in the smell rubs me the wrong way, light rotting eggs maybe?… Taste is black liquorish, thick rye and black bread, heavy spices, slight dark fruits, once again prunes esp. prune jam, not much in the way of bret. Candy sugar, sticky sweet roots and red wine vines,… Over carbonated. No there is something very dominant taste / smell in here which rubs me the wrong way… maybe the cardamom? I don’t know. My least favourite one of the 4. Ugh too bad, I enjoyed the other 3.
