330ml clear bottle from Noz Nieppe. Nowt tropical about it.. perhaps a slight allusion to artificial sweet orange gummies but that's about it. Nice enough in the sun 🌞🌞🌞

330ml bottle [BBD 12.06.22]. Darkest brown colour with a minimally late awakening, thin, fading layer of tiny, tan bubbles. BA supported, sweet-ish, dark and caramel malty aroma, notes of peat, leather, dark caramel, some toffee. Taste is BA supported, dark and caramel malty, minimally alcoholic, notes of dark caramel, toffee, peat, leather, a tannic touch of oak; minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation.
Still in good shape, quite distinct, focussed flavours, BA dominated but not overdone - nice sipper.

330ml bottle from Noz Lille. Pours a slightly unclear amber, no head strangely. Not sure what I expected of a weiss red ale, certainly some weiss yeast which is unfortunately absent, but flavour wise is a satisfactory red ale all the same.. nicely fruity malty action with an acute bitterness.
Sweet, chocolate, maple syrup. Better than expected.
(from 75cL bottle @ DJ's, Delft)

Bottle. Color: Clear copper, thin beige head. Aroma: Fruity Cognac and caramel malt notes. Taste: Caramel malt, subtle floral and citrus notes, light to moderate bitter hoppy backbone, well balanced with fruity Cognac, vanilla and wood notes. Boozy hints. Moderate to over moderate sweet. Just over medium, lightly creamy, body. Below average carbonation. I'm not a fan of Emelisse beers over the last years, but this one is pretty nice.

Backlog October 2013. Unclear orange body under a dense off-white head. Quite strong aroma of grapefruit, grapes and spices. Taste has sweet malt, fruity hops, slightly spicy and grassy with balanced bitterness. Medium body, refreshing aftertaste. Nice.
