Small cream-coloured head over foxy dark orange beer. Bit sourish nose, pickles, fruit chutney, coloured malts. Harsh bitterness, horse chestnut, acorns, tannines. Again coloured malts, but no acetic notes in the taste. Spiced orangezeste. Slight astringency. At least medium bodied, very slick, medium carbonation. Weird. REALLY weird. But somehow, not bad. Mo tichkes, wa ed'ier gedoên?

Bottle 330ml (Pub Tuulensuu). Clear copper colour, tiny beige head. Harsh grassy malty aroma, maybe some alcohol. Light to medium-bodied. Caramel, some fruits, light grassy hops. Mellow, maybe slightly old.

Bouteille 75cl, anno 2017.
Couleur orange profond, voile léger, col fin blanc tenace.
Arôme est plaisant avec un un bouquet de lambic assez prenant et de suite en rétro de fines notes plus maltées/céréales, notes fines de barrique, cave, fruité oscillant sur un parfum agrumes léger et baies.
Palais est complexe avec de suite une bonne épaisseur de bouche venant de cette triple, le tout est nettement sublimé par l'ajout de lambic et le vieillissement en fût pendant un an - on y verra ici, plus la marque de Cantillon que de Stoemeling, idem sur la version Tilquin. Retrouve un fruité plaisant qui accompagne le caractère acidulé du lambic - ici, un peu chair de pêche et qcq agrumes accompagnées d'un léger fleuri et un fini citrique qui est assez plaisant et balancé par la base de triple.

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.
