Description
Born in La-Roche-en-Ardenne and developed and refined in Ghent, this hoppy beer combines Walloon passion and Flemish perseverance. An exceptional Belgian product that owes its name to a Flemish and a Walloon Belgian. Independently of each other, they had the same inspiration. So they named the youngest descendant of the Belgian beer paradise… L’Arogante. More Belgian you can’t get!

4/II/17 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 29/XI/18 (2017-4) Thanks to Erwin AND Daniella + Leslie for my prima nocta bottle!
Have tasted it before, but it probably was too warm, and all shaken up so there was mainly yeast in the flavour. After sitting in my beer fridge for 2 months, I finally got around to tasting it properly. And holy shit, what a treat. No more yeast flavours, but all the hops! To me, this is more a black ipa than a stout. Then again, let's not get there, shall we? :p Clear dark brown beer, huge creamy beige head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, some band-aid (so 8 instead of 9 for aroma, alas), roasted, dry, cocoa powder, some caramel. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty hoppy, citrus, some grapefruit, bitter hops, soft roast. Aftertaste: bitter, nice roast, caramel, hoppy, bit metallic, citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, little sweet, very nice beer!

hazy golden colour, larhe off-white head; aroma of tropical fruits, bread, some biscuity, malty, as well as floral notes, some earth and wine cellar; taste of overripe sweet tropical fruits, hints of honey, Belgian yeast, biscuity notes and hints of apricot; I like it

Flaska från Saveur Bieré. Smak och doft av humle, citrus, örter, grapefrukt med toner av jäst. Torr, lagom söt, något trött humle, beska med smak av citrusskal och grapefrukt med toner av tall.

Helder geel bier met veel schuim. Smaak is fris hoppig bitter en licht zoet fruitig. Mooi bier, licht zoet, met iets van banaan en abrikoos.

Plae blond. Aroma and flavour have a nice mix of hops and spicy yeast. Dry and refreshing.

Many thanks for this beer to JefVerstraete. Piwo ma ladna spora i trwala piane. Kolor metnisty i zlocisty, bardzo jaskrawy. Pachnie dojrzalym melonem i ananasem. W smaku chmielne owoce tropikalne, lekka slodowosc ale dominuje jednak ta wytrawna chmielnosc. Podwyzszony alkohol sprytnie ukryty. Piwo tresciwe i degustacyjne. Bardzo polecam. Fajna nazwa.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear yellow with a huge and frothy white head with excellent retention. Very Belgian! Nose is pretty neutral, no fresh hops, more just fruity. Body is rich and malty, again quite fruity with a bitter finish. Thankfully not overly yeasty. But how a pretty bland Belgian Blonde with a load of bittering hops can be called an IPA and obtain a 3.72 score really beats me. 230516
