De Poes Houblon - Saaz, 5,5 %, Fläschchen aus Tausch mit Jef. - Sattes, trübes Goldgelb; kurzlebiger Schaum. - In der Nase duftige, leicht parfümiert wirkende belgische (obergärige) Hefe, frische zitronige Hopfung, fein getreidiges helles Malz, Anklänge an Bauernhof, Kellerluft und Leder. - Antrunk weich hellmalzig und knackig zitronig hopfenherb mit bitterer Zitronenschale. Zart hellmalzig, nicht süß. Feine Hefe, sehr dezente obergärige Fruchtigkeit. Milder rezent, kremig vollmundig. Im Abgang kernige zitrusfruchtige und herbale Bittere: hier zeigt der Saazer Hopfen seine vollen Qualitäten. - Sehr schönes, pilsähnlich knackig gehopftes Bier, aber noch als Ale zu erkennen. Mindestens ebenso gut wie das letztes Jahr verkostete Houblon mit Cascade. (7.12.2024.)

5,2% ABV. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Aftertaste: ripe pineapple, bitter touch, a bit yeasty, hoppy touch, some banana, a bit soapy, decent but not great.

Medium, cream-coloured head, rather stable over fully hazy dark nut-brown beer. Bit woody, dark malts, dry, hint at booze. Light bitter, maltsweetness, light roast, again woody, bit nutty. The whiskey is there, but really held back, despite being infused. Medium bodied, good carbonation, pretty slick, almost viscous. Long lasting flavours. Aftertaste features some cacao powder. Decent, not special. Whiskey barrel aging is superior to infusing. Purchased @ Dranken Goegebuer, Knesselare
