Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Gent, Belgie, 12th November 2011, consumed at home 14th November 2011. Pours murky brown with a light filmy head. The aroma is certainly tropical and hoppy with a little wheat and floral & perfume thing going on as well along with some lavender. Soft in the mouth, the wheat and hops provide an interesting combination, a thoroughly decent beer. A8 A3 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9

Small, off white head, hazy dark amber beer. USA or NZL hops, flowery, rosewater aroma. More rosewater in the mouth, with a -slightly dullish- exotic fruit flavour. Medium bodied, very slick to oily. Not really great - just a good beer. I often don’t like combination of wheat with other stylefeatures, in this case, it worked rather well. Grand merci à Jean!

2012-10-30, draught at Le Super Coin, Paris, 7-5-7-4-15=38
Cloudy light amber color; medium sized compact head. Nice aroma, fruity but delicate, light aroma of yellow jam, some animal, musk character too. The mouthfeel is light and drier than expected; delicate toffee flavor with a well balanced fruity hopping, and just dome more dry resins in the final.
Elegant beer.
2012-09-06, draught at La Fine Mousse, Paris, 7-4-7-5-15=38
Hazy amber color, with generous creamy head. Interesting to taste it side-to-side with the Psychedelia, this one evidently reveals a more complex body structure, more malt, some residual sweetness, still a good hopping level, fruity hops, but less hop character (like the pungent and sweaty mix of the Psychedelia).
Very good beer.
2011-09-06, draught at La Capsule, Lille, 7-5-7-4-15=38
Hazy amber color, bright, with medium sized compact head. Toffee aroma, with mild, citrusy hops. Good malt and toffee flavor, with moderate residual sweetness, delicate; indeed there is some similarity with the Mikkeller Single Hop ales brewed at the same facility; pleasant hopping, well balanced, elegant, never aggressive, with light resins and fruitiness.
Very nice, also for it’s rare harmony.

Bottle @ Arch’en Bières 7th edition 2011. Thanks Craig. Couleur brune foncée allant sur une ambrée trouble, col blanc-cassé. Arôme, alors comment décrire cet arôme? C’est du Nelson Sauvin et le système olfactif en prend un bon coup. J’adore. En effet on se retrouve quasi au milieu de Sauvin Blanc et raisin donnant ce profile fruité mais aussi de fleur de houblon et pin. Au palais, une bière complexe dont le style varie entre une IPA ou Black IPA avec une touche de Dunkel dans la couleur ni trop foncée et ni trop claire. Le Nelson Sauvin donne ce côté de vin blanc et cépage qui reste superbement frais en bouche. Note de ester/banane (léger) qui procure un palais épais qui donne une présence un peu allemande d’une Hefe tout en jonglant habilement avec le houblon tirant sur une IPA. Le dry-hopping procure un fini sec qui mélange des notes de houblons résineux, bourgeon de pin avec une pointe d’amertume citronnée sur la fin. Malt est présent ajoutant une once de chocolat et de caramel, mais bon je me suis laissé envouté par la magie du houblon. Une merveille, subtile de par ces mélanges des styles. On a redemande, d’ailleurs j’ai stocké des bouteilles.

06/05 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured hazy orange body with medium sized head. Very pleasant orange hop aroma, a bit of yeast. Slightly bitter flavor, smoothed with yeast and milk bread malt. May have a touch of coriander. Not heavy in body, rather thinner, with longer citrus and bread finish. A fine beer it is.

First missed this at the Abbaye des Saveurs in Lille, because I couldn’t carry anymore really, but thankfully found it later at Cave a Bulles in Paris. Shared with the usual suspects. POured a murky peach colour with a slightly off white head that went away slowly. Sweet aromatic hoppy nose, lime, some yeastiness, ok enough. Light soft agrumey taste, not much bitterness. Smooth, a bit light and overall nice!

Bottle at Het Oude Schooltje. It pours golden yellow, with a thick white head and moderate carbonation. The nose is American cream soda, hay, bread, grass, grapefruit, lime, orange and lemon. The taste is full of tropical fruit: mango, pineapple, orange, lemon and lime, as well as pine, grass and hay, with a satisfyingly bitter finish. A fresh and crisp hoppy belgian ale.

Bouteille 33cl venant de l’esprit écossais de Craig Allan de La Capsule @ Lille. Couleur orangée, col épais blanc. Au nez, je suis de suite pris par cet arôme houblonné laissant une présence citronnée et de pamplemousse. En bouche, on a une bière qui tend à épouser le style américain IPA tout en conservant ce style belge. Palais mélange les goût surtout au niveau des houblons qui donnent une fine amertume tout en agrémentant la dégustation de notes de citron, pamplemousse avec une fine couche d’épice avec une légère présence herbeuse. Le tout reste assez sec en bouche avec un fini d’où ressort un malt léger.
