Bottle, 7.5%. The aroma is malty and caramelly at first, but quickly turns acidic and funky. Hazy copper colour. Good creamy stable off-white head. The flavour is ok acidic, but does not have much more to offer. A little funky sourness in the finish. The caramel is well-hidden. Ok refreshing.

Bottle, 9.99%. Malty and peppery aroma. Sparkling, cloudy brown colour. Big stable light brown head. The flavour starts off bitter and yeasty. It turns malty and creamy, then finishes with more bitterness and yeast. Aniseed aftertaste, which I do like, but it is not enough to save a fairly boring beer, especially considering the high alcohol content.

Go Skinny Dipping, Berliner Weisse wordt gebrouwen bij Brouwerij The Musketeers uit Sint-Gillis-Waas. Ze werd in 1999 opgericht door vier brouwingenieurs en is sinds 2019 gevestigd in een moderne en duurzame brouwerij. Het bedrijf ontwikkelt Belgische speciaalbieren voor de binnenlandse en internationale markt. Dit is een bier uit hun ‘Bucket List Series’ welke werd gelanceerd in aanloop naar de opening van hun nieuwe brouwerij in het Waasland. De bieren uit deze serie zijn beperkt in oplage.

GO SKINNY DIPPING, BERLINER WEISSE is een helder goud kleurig bier dat veel wit moussig schuim produceert dat sterk aan je glaswand blijft kleven. Het blijft stabiel maar op het eind heb je nog slechts een fijn dun laagje over. Het ziet weinig fijne CO2 belletjes omhoog parelen.

HET AROMA:
Licht azijnzuurtje, zoetje, citrus, mout, licht muffig.
DE SMAAK:
Licht zurig, zoetig, citrus, druif, mout.
HET MONDGEVOEL:
Medium body, gladde textuur en een medium tot platte koolzuur prikkeling.
DE NASMAAK:
Zuurtje,zoetig, mout. Het zurige vloeit wat uit.
HET TOTAALGEVOEL:
Een harmonieus bier.
HET VERDICT:
Een dorstlessend en verfrissend biertje, misschien net wat te zuur? Maar goed te verteren tijdens een warme zomer.

Pours hazed yellowblonde. Medium sized, medium-good stability white head. Scent is very inviting, hoppy for sure. pine, danky, that amarillo aroma also nicely shows, but doesn't feel too boring. Not giving away being belgian, which in IPA's is to me always a good thing. Taste is Medium high bitterness. I expected it to be way sweeter, but I'm happier with this. not dry, but balanced for sure. Hoparoma is a bit milder than anticipated, mostly delivering Amarillo aroma's. bit danky. Lower on the citra. Medium body, towards medium thin (especially if comparing with the style) and medium to medium high carbo. Feels like a hint of improvement could be done here. Nice lasting bitter finish.
Not a savouring beer, not a hunt-thois-down kinda beer, but surely, when my local bar that carries very little craftbeers has this (they are the ones that handed me this taster) I will happily drink this from now on.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. As "Troubadour Aura". Magma was a hoppy beer, this is not. Ripe fruit aroma with notes of dried fruit, plum, floral yeasty notes, malt, ripe apricot. Mild to medium sweet, light bitter. Likeable.

Bottle drunk at home after a super long day. Lightly hazy amber, decent well-holding head. Nose is pretty mild, citrus and stone fruit. Body is pretty dry and flavor a little acidic, strong grapefruity bitterness that's relatively smooth. Straightforward and not tropical nor piney. Yep that's a bitter bomb of a hoppy Belgian blonde, not for the faint of... tastebuds.

Backlog November 2009. Reddish amber body under a big, dense beige head. Nice aroma with malt, caramel, dry fruit and a slightly acidic touch. Taste has mild roasted malt, toast, caramel, dry fruit and a balanced combination of sweetness and acidity. Fine body and pleasant aftertaste. Nice one without blowing you’re mind with flavours.
