Mid-hazed, golden-yellow colour with a creamyish white head, good retention and many streaks of foamy-creamy lacing. Loads of smaller particles, looking like spices, floating all-around. Lots of Citra hops in the nose giving the citrus touch and some grassiness. Then, some good tropical fruitiness from the Mosaic comes out to balance things. Even hints of melons. Some good lemon zest, orange juice with a blend of mild tropical and resinous notes. A nice collab-NEIPA from two breweries that make these well, with an interesting concept of two hops.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a bunch of particles, like spices floating around. The white frothy head is creamyish with decent stay and nice creamy streaks of lacing. Big peachy aromas from the Peacharine hops, with a blend of tropical fruits, mild citrus and hints of white wine. Again, lots of fruitiness in the flavours with everything found in the nose. A tad pineapple sweetness in there as well. A juicy mouthfeel with some creaminess, and mild zest bitterness in the end with a slow-building dryness. Quite a nice, juicy Double NEIPA with loads of fruity hoppiness.

Very hazy, golden-orange colour with a smaller white head, leaving minimal lacing. A fresh, herbal nose with orange juice, lemony-citrus zest, spices, a vanilla touch and the oats. A juicy, wet mouthfeel with some good zesty dryness in the end. Some good orange juicy flavours with the zest bitterness. Quite an interesting hybrid between a citrusy NEIPA and some lighter Witbier notes which adds a nice twist to this one.

Damn this is straight up tasty. Belgian spin on the pumpkin brings lots of spices, bit of sweetness with brown sugar and rich body.

Can that pours a clean amber colour with golden highlights, an off-white head, average retention and light lacing spots. Darker bread aromas with some biscuit, mild caramel, and the hops really building up with grassiness. The hops are a little tamer in the taste, just adding a nice, mild drying finish. Flavours of toasty, bready, cereal malt and only hints of caramel. The grassy hops even calm down in the nose. Overall, a really good, very drinkable Oktoberfest Festbier. Prost!

Olfactif funky et fruité.
Fruits à noyau et acidité lactique en évidence.
Arômes fermiers et chevalins en prime, vieux bois, cuir défraichi.
Collet épais, persistant et très crémeux.
Liquide jaune paille, fortement effervescent et partiellement voilé.
En bouche, c'est funky mais complexe.
Fruité aux accents de fruits à chair blanche.
Des notes boisées englobent la palette qui se décline en accents maltés de blé bien croustillant, de vieille grange chevaline et d'épices un peu poivrées.
On est ici en présence d'un grand cru d'une qualité exceptionnelle qui n'a rien à envier aux classiques belges de ce monde.
Complexité remarquable.
Hautement appréciée !
