Thank you! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2016. Hazy orange, only lightly hazy, tanned head. Nose is bitter floral hops, indeed bitter flowers, light caramel, tad yeast. Taste is bitter floral, dry, light plaster yeast, rather dry, low yeast, bitter flowers, leading into substantially bitter finish that is a big medicinal almost; Interesting profile, lightly bitter medicinal profile is a bit challenging for me & there is some chalky yeast. Overall still a nice, interesting beer that separates itself from the crowd maybe not radically so but it does.

Sample @ Zythos’16, courtesy of and shared with the RB Belgian crew. Dorée, virant sur fin orangé, col blanc. Arôme au nez fruité très plaisant offrant de belles notes tropicales avec un rétro un peu belge. Plais est lourd de ses 9% offrant un fini un peu liquoreux collant aux lèvres, le houblonné est particulièrement bien rendu avec de belles notes de fruité tropical. Aurait pu être un tantinet meilleure sans être si forte.

Batch 2 & future: tweaked beer. Sampled draft @ ZBF 2016. Clear orange, creamy tanned heads. Nose is lovely pine resin, mango hops, rich hops with low milky yeast & touch caramel that balances the whose lovely. Taste is oily mango, pine, resin, oily herbs, rich lovely hops balanced with some complimentary yeast which has been really tuned down, oily, herbs, pine, light caramel. Oily & milky body; Really nice hoppy beer, not your classical IPA but a really nice hop forward beer; Great work. [Batch 1: Draft glass @ Billie’s Bierkafetaria. I have tried the old version of this beer & it wasn’t too good but it was also brewed at ’t Hofbrouwerijke where everything gets infected etc. (truly one of the worst breweries out there!) I have blamed that brewery for which I have no love. This new version is brewed at Anders! Which makes certainly decent enough beers with no issues. Deep amber with a big creamy off-white head. Nicely lacing. Nose is milky white sugar base, big milk, white sugar, candy, sorbet,… Taste is huge on milky sweet white sugar, milky, candy, sugar, overly Belgian, overly Belgian yeast, sugar, milky with some sweet orange & orange peel hop. Very milky body, white sugary,…. Very excessive in these things for me, the USA style & USA hops are totally muted by white sugar & very milky yeast notes. Glad to try it in this version but it has way too much white sugar & milky notes for me. The whole is a bit too much disappointing for considering everything.]
