3/I/25 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home with Bouvier, BB: 27/X/24, batch: 6404211027 (2025-11)
Clear red orange beer, small creamy yellowish head, unstable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: oxidized, malty, some cardboard, caramel, leathery, dried fruits, a hint of vanilla. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a little bitter, dry, a bit oxidized, earthy, quite a lot of alcohol, leathery, whisky, a bit hoppy. Aftertaste: bitter, dry, earthy, some alcohol, ok I guess, but not good. Pretty disappointing for a B.A. beer actually.
PS: Looks like that tradition never really took off. Never saw a new edition...

Clear blond orange beer, big creamy yellowish head, a bit irregular, stable, adhesive.

Taste: very bitter, a bit resinous, hoppy, grassy, banana peel, a bit metallic, sweet and sugary. Aftertaste: bitter, orange peel, more bitterness, resinous hops, some grapefruit, bubble gum, banana peel, bleh. Very disappointing for an IIPA.
