30 August 2025. At 7de Bier van Olier (Sijsele). Cheers to Anke, mom & dad!

Weak vegetable aroma, bell peppers, yellow cherry tomato, crackers. Dry, restrainedly sweetish taste of apple, unripe pear, tomato. Dry grassy hops, cracker. Lively carbonation. I don't really get the intention here, as the base beer is too weak to even begin supporting an adjunct umami flavour, within a very fizzy mouthfeel. Feels a bit like old-school Gaverhopke. I do appreciate the willingness to experiment, but I'd say back to basics first.

Brown, with a stable, frothy, off-white head. Red apple, pear, fig, Ice Tea. Sweet apple, fig & caramel. Some herbal hops, dried fruits, lively carbonation. Drinkable, but not much more.

Chestnut, almond, fondant, coffee bean, vague whisky. Sweetish brambleberry, almond, chestnut, bitter coffee. Earthy hops, charred wood, coffee and warming whisky alcohol. Medium body, average carbonation. The whisky is certainly not overpowering the base beer here which is solidly bitter and roasty. Reminds me a bit of Mareklop's Nonnebil (similarly carrying a surprisingly subtle adjunct flavour).

Grapefruit, shallot, pine, mandarin peel. Sweetish pear & melon, bitter grapefruit & pine. Piney hops, grapefruit, some onion. Not super fresh or fragrant, but certainly not bad.
