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.

Quite good, if not very dense, lightly yellowish head, soon gone over hazy peach to yellow coloured beer. Bit dusty nose, with some citrus, dry spices; some mineral, almost salty notes, seafood, and floormop. Again dry-ish, vague citrus (apparently, no coriander added, but I wouldn't bet my money on that one). Mineral again, when more reduced than the nose suggested, and certainly not salty. Finish is dry-bitterish, more as (citrus)peel than as hops. Hints of wheat and other grains. Feels very, almost aggressively carbonated. Yet quite slick, dry. Aftertaste as good as non-existant. Wanting (?) to do different, ending even more ubiquitous. The French would say: Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Txs to Stef!

Very good & persistent yellow cream-coloured head, irregular, over hazy redcopper to amber beer. Spicy, meaty esters, oregano, laurel. Caramel, breadcrust. Sweet, industrial honey, caramel, and again herbs - laurel. Of course, booze, if not too overpowering. Aftertaste however gets more boozy - almonds. Alcoholburn; full bodied and extra slick-viscous. Adequate carbonation. Sorry, again one with too much cheap booze character for its own good. Txs to Stef!

Shortlived whitish head over cold-hazed blonde beer. Sweet, boozy nose, vanilla, even sultanas; palm leaf, artichoke, scorched sugar. Sweet, double cream or condensed milk with vanilla, raw grains, again vanilla touches and white candi sugar. Alcoholburn and some -thinning. Very slick, even oily/viscous feel. Adequate carbonation. To me, another confirmation of the thesis that blond strong beer is an awkward subject for barrel aging - dark, melanoidin rich beer is so much more gratifying. OK, there are exceptions. Txs to Hans B.

Huge dense & fine white head over lively carbonated, clear golden beer; textbook lace. Sweet and spicy, bamboo, decaying vegetable matter and camphor. WTF? Camphor and alcohol-sweet, artificial tasting side flavours, maybe coriander. Light, and lots of sugars converted into unrefined alcohol. No. This tastes as smelling the perfume collection of a cheap - well, you know what. Dracarys , indeed. Exactly what ought to be said. Txs to Stef!

Small if persistent white head over lively carbonated metallic pink beer. Vinous, pink/red grapes, smelling pretty precious; pink grapefruit. Sourish-fruity flavours. There is some fruity - again - sweetness but it remains subordinately to the acids. Vinous as few. After a bit of warming, rosemary and mild mint. Light body, light impression certainly seen its not unimportant 7.5% ABV. Good carbonation. The label says: Organic beer crafted by winemakers . I have no qualms believing, as it just breathes winegrower. Txs to Stef!

Short-lived, light pink head over cold-hazed lightly brownish rosé beer. Nice fruitaroma, red/pink berries, difficult to affirm cherry. Cinnamon, cherries, yet sweet if restrained. Also ribes (currant) leaf, valerian,finishes slightly sourish. Faint acidthinning, light body, slick-oily. Pretty good kriek - Wilde Brouwers have their standards. Txs to Stef!

Medium, if stable beige head over black beer with reddish-brown reflections. Sweet-ish but with the telltale Hessian-straw-dry hops' flavour; hopoils, roasted banana. The same if with a noted roasted/ashy finish, augmented with the hopbitterness. Quite hopoilslick, well-carbonated, at least medium bodiee. Pretty good example of black IPA. I love the style, but isn't it time we started calling it IBA?
