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.

Short-lived white head over white wine-like beer. Floral nose, vinous, white grapes and Blanc-de-Blancs. Spring blossoms. Sourish, refreshing. Hints at non-grape wine (Guernsey tomato wine, maybe?). Mineral and lime. Light body, if quite slick. Feels better carbonated than it looks. La Source? Magicians, if you ask me. Txs to Stef!

Fulminant build-up of lightly yellow head, fluffy, over hazy ochre-orange beer. Vegetable nose, rather oppressive, herbs, garden wees, alternative potpourries, wild yeasts. A bit of all the above, with a lot of sweetness, and even more potpourri. Lots of dried herbs/pharmaceutical flavours. Again wild yeasts. Very slick, almost oily. Not very heavy, despite good ABV. Almost overcarbonated. Not En Stoemelings' best, IMO. As to the 'tripel' moniker?

Very good, bit cream-coloured head over hazy copper-amber beer, with good carbonation to lots of lace. Dry herbs, lupulin, fruitskins, bit caramel suggested. Green leaves, nutty too, whiff of banana. Sweet, caramel, mango. Finish sports bitterness, metallic. Despite its dry character, there's lots of restsugars. Dried vegetables. Quite sticky, rather well-bodied, good carbonation. Not a bad beer, but it carries some characteristics that are distinctly un-(NE)IPA.

Shortlived white head over clear, deep-golden beer. Chalk, pale malts, putty, paint, but also cucumber - greenmalt? Pure sweet pale malts, quite some restsugars. White bread(crust). Finish has a dusty, ticklish feeling, and also a faint toasted flavour. Light body, light to medium carbonation. Bit slick. If Iron Maiden's music were as tame as this lager, I doubt it would be considered Heavy Metal. Txs to Stef!

Pink head, gone in seconds, over dark cyclamen-red beer, veiled. Sourish, fresh red/pink berries, citrus. Quite some hints at other grains. Red fruit, chalk, dusty. Fine fruity acidity. Rahter delicate fruitflavours, but also (faraway) beetroot, pricky pear, kiwano. Mild, yet lipsmacking acidity. Modest acidthinning, refreshing and spritzy. Amusing , nice, if nowhere outstanding.

Short lived fine snowwhite head over almost still metallic clear golden beer; end of bottle solid deposit. Unripe peach or nectarine, herbs, chamomille, unripe green fruit, rhubarb. Very delicate & light acidity; lemony if less sharp. Floral, spring flowers. Really distinctive. Unripe mirabelles, cidery, non-sweet apples. Light; despite still looks, fine pearling sensation, faintly slick. Another great beer, Mr. Sládek. But, where is it brewed?
