Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle drunk on the hottest day of the year... because why not. Nose took a moment to get going; vanilla, pear drops, candied fruit, fruity esters. Taste is fruity, pear drops, candy sugar, banana, candied fruit leading to dried fruit, and a fruity, peppery, nutty and slightly spicy finish. Smooth mouthfeel. Decent.

The sixteenth Bucketlist beer by Musketeers, this time intended as a 'světlý ležák' or Bohemian style Pilsener - I can only hope it was made the traditional way (with prolonged cold lagering and Bohemian hops) but the text on the can only reveals that it is, thank God, an all-malt lager... Thick, moussey, crackling, eggshell-white, thinning and opening head on a crystal clear, pale 'metallic' golden blonde robe with persistent strings of sparkling in the middle. Aroma of drying white bread, raw cereals, dry hay, freshly cut grass, field flowers, pumice, unsugared muesli, breadsticks, sesame seeds, white soap, plaster, unsweetened bubblegum. Non-estery, sweetish onset, straight to a sweetish white-breadiness with a slight sourish streak, subtle background notes of green pear and unripe banana but very faintly so, minerally side notes and lively, but nowhere harsh carbonation; smooth, slick body, a tad glueish, but believably all-malt, soon overruled by a long, persistent, grassy and rooty hop bitterness, adding retronasal effects of wormwood, white pepper and camomile, but not in a very complex way, drying all the way through. Of course the Czech do this kind of beer better, but I must admit that this 'Climb the Mont Ventoux' (not on my personal bucket list, by the way) appears better than I was expecting, with a light bready malt profile and - to Belgian standards - quite daring hop bitterness. Tastes like the average (yet nowhere the best) Central European Pilsener indeed, albeit notably less refined and a bit more 'bubblegummy'. Among the first of these Bucketlist beers that manage to more or less pleasantly surprise me in its own chosen category - or at least not disappoint me too much.

Les diverses versions de notre chère Magma ont connu des succès divers et même les meilleures n'arrivaient pas à la hauteur de l'originale. J'étais quelque peu sceptique avec cette version X car les vieillissements en fut ne sont pas forcément réussis avec des IPA. Et là, je dois avouer qu'ils ont été particulièrement bons pour doser le temps de barriquage pour que celui-ci vienne agrémenter la bière sans la dénaturer. Le visuel est tout comme la Magma avec une robe ambrée voilée avec une fine effervescence et une mousse blanc cassé nappant la surface. Au nez, le chêne et le whisky agrémente très bien notre IPA. Et à la dégustation, ce qui est très agréable c'est que la première impression est celle de la Magma de base mais en bouche la bière évolue en laissant s'exprimer le chêne et le whisky. Mais celui ne prend pas l'ascendant et vient sublimer la bière. Le titrage qui a gagné 1 % est impeccable. Une très belle réussite.

Barwa niemal czarna, nieprzejrzyste, piana beżowa, dość obfita, drobna, całkiem trwała. W aromacie czekolada, czarna kawa. W smaku półwytrawne, ciemne słody, deserowa czekolada, czarna kawa, paloność. Goryczka do średniej, nieco brakuje, wysycenie niskie do średniego, ciało dość lekkie. Niezłe, ale brakuje nieco większego konkretu.
