375ml can brought back from Australia for me by Keith and Sue, this beer was chosen because my second name is 'Baily'! Poured into a Judas glass at home on 14th November 2025. Clean golden amber body, decent white crown on top. Hop forward with a slight citrus leaning, dry finish.

Cheers to Mike and Sheila for bringing me the 330ml bottle of this from one of their holidays. Always nice when friends do this for you. Drank at home on 14th November 2025. Poured into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip glass, it looked lovely, clean and clear mahogany red in colour, off white crown on top. Malty front with a decent hop bitterness once you got past the caramel like initial flavours.

Bottle in the Cultuur Cafe on 12th November 2025. Clouded autumnal orange, weak white crust. Harsh hop feel to this spiced semi-sour brew, took me a while to drink it to be honest, wasn't expecting it to be 'in your face' so much. I'm sure there is salt in here somewhere.

Can in our apartment while on holiday in Ostend, 12th November 2025. Obtained from a Carrefour store round the corner. Almost clear amber body, off-white crown. Fruity aroma with citrus esters to the fore, dry throughout with grapefruit flavours taking over the taste towards the finish.

Bottle at the source on 12th November 2025. Dark brown, beige head. Started off really well, malty, spicy and full of life, it then fell away and a weird flatness came along, sadly it became a salty, weak and bland mess. Struggled to finish it to be honest. Scored kindly!

Bottle at the source on 12th November 2025. Hazed light golden body, white crust. Hop bitter with a salty undertone, certainly had strange sourness to it.

Bottle in the Cultuur Cafe on 11th November 2025. Slight haze to the golden body, white crust. Ginger aroma and taste, not subtle, but not overly ginger either. Different and not unpleasant, but not really my thing.

Can in 't Brugs Beertje on 11th November 2025. Slightly hazed golden orange body, white crown. Hop front to the nose and taste, citrus fruits to the fore, some bitterness in there too, then a sweetness arrives with a caramel feel, before the finish reverts to the hops and a mini dryness.
