26/V/21 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: I/2022, Lot 4820 (2021-429)

Little cloudy deep orange to almost amber beer, big solid creamy off-white head, pretty stable, crackles down slowly, bit adhesive. Aroma: nice, some ripe sweet tropical fruits, bit of caramel malts, some oranges, orange peel, little zesty, floral touch. MF: very lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty bitter, fruity notes, very malty, grains, some caramel, little oxidized, orange peel. Aftertaste: spicy, bit herbal, soapy bitterness, pretty dry, some alcohol, hint of tropical fruits, somewhat yeasty, bit of banana. Decent beer on its own, but way too much malty flavours for a modern IPA.

Rather cloudy bright yellow beer, huge creamy irregular white head, stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty in the nose up front, grains, some wheat, citrus notes, slightly floral, some ripe banana, peaches, hint of marzipan, a little oxidized? MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, nice bitterness, hoppy, bit grassy, citrus notes, little yeasty, very quaffable. Aftertaste: little sweet, hint of honey, some ripe banana, citrus notes, soft acidity, malted grains, good bitterness, pretty resinous hops, dry finish, pleasantly surprised! Good summer beer!

Light hazy caramel brown colour, beige foam. Lots and lots of foam and carbonation. Nose of smoke, leather, some light sweet hints. Rather watery.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 01/2022, lot# 4820.
Petite nouvelle de Stoemelings - toute la gamme semble avoir pris un coup de neuf - nouvelles étiquettes, revisite de certaines recettes. A la base, les brasseurs ne voulaient brasser que du belge classique, je vois qu'avec le temps les idées ont un peu changé.
Bière de couleur blonde sur un léger voile, le col est super épais et prend qcq minutes à redescendre ne serait-ce que pour permettre de goûter la bière.
Au nez, je retrouve un bouquet plutôt belge classique - qcq esters et ce malgré l'ajout des houblons Amarilllo et Simcoe.
Palais est léger, sur une saturation assez présente, petite épaisseur de bouche, un grains pils, munich persistant rehaussé par une levure au caractère belge. Le fruité des houblons arrive en toute fin et apporte un léger côté agrumes.
Pas mauvaise, on est un peu aux antipodes de ce que font certaines brasseries bxl en terme d'IPA - et en même temps un cran en dessous de ce que DLS arrive à proposer en style rustique IPA belge.

Golden, but hazy cloudy color and a nice head. Solid Pils with a fruity twist.

Quite a little unfair after a day at BXL fair..sweet, boozy, roasted, hoppy. Heavy. Not very well balanced.
