The next beer might even be better. B.C."H." = British Cask "Head" - to be perceived as some disparate lonely looking bubbles, uncertain of their CO² content, and because of their scarcity, of undefinable colour. UFO's: Unspeakable Floating Obscenities MF: NO, that isn't it. That's mouthfeel, in civilized countries. I hereby solemny propose a law to be instated by all beergeeks, -amateurs, -lovers, -tasters, - enthusiasts that forthwith the use of the infernal spice, known as coriander, is forbidden for at least the five first years of brewing, and later only to be tolerated by explicit consent of minimum five different accredited beerorganisations. Infringements ought to be sanctioned by denouncement to the international beerpress and public drainpour of the offending brew.

Shortlived white head over cold-hazed orangey golden beer. Horseblanket, farmyard odours, wheat, crabapples, putteke. Wheat, even some sweetness as from sugarcorn, again apples and cider. Faint (sweet-)lemon and lemonpeel. Bit (white) bread. Chewy, somewhere (wheat)filling. Well carbonated, light body due to some mild acidthinning. I was over the moon with the Extra, but this is even better! Hanssens places itself again at the absolute authentic gueuzeblenders top with this excellent, mild oude gueuze.

Very good, light-cream head over red-tinted veiled brown beer; shards of lace. Wet dog, almonds, bitter almonds, some caramel, if dominated by the bitterness. Almonds, wet dog, cacaopowder, melanoidins. Well-bodied, well-carbonated. Very slick to oily feel. Aftertaste emphases the bitter almonds even more. Ho-hum, unidimensional. Txs to Stef!

Tan head, gone in seconds to rim over almost black beer. Ashes, mineral, black chocolate, roasted grains. Bit treacle even. Ashes, roast, mineral; faint bitterness due to both hops and roast. Rather complex ànd balanced. Medium bodied, some slickness, well carbonated, deep layers. Quite good indeed! I would even have stressed the sea-vectors ever more. Txs to Stef!

Small cream head, stable, over very deep dark brown beer. Wet dog combined with breadcrust, dark bread. Less wet dog in the mouth, but even more dark bread; dark grains, roast, melanoidins. And missing all the normal features of a classid Weizen. Very thin body (a wheat!), not very carbonated. Weird, putting it mildly. Given blind, we would never have guessed Weizen, Dunkel or other. Thin.

Shortlived off-white head over veiled orange-amber beer. Wormwood, mint, sage, verbena, lavender. Very aromatic aromas, on top of light-caramelly toast. Again the herbs (minus the mint), and some toasted malts. Faint sweet-bitter flavour as from orangepeel. Ironoxide. Slick, medium bodied, medium carbonation. Special, but not exactly mind-blowing. Bit pharmaceutical, not exactly inciting for another. Txs to Stef!

Small whitish head over hazy orangeish yellow beer. Hoparoma explosion upon opening the can; dry lupulin, very citrussy, bit catty. Dry, almost ashy initial flavour, followed by sweet malts, fruity, going over in, again fruity, bitterish flavours, mainly citruspeel. Quite carbonated, hopoilslick, some metallic bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice classic NEIPA. Txs to Stef!
