Keg at the source. It pours clear pale blonde with a dissipating white head. The aroma is sweaty, citrus vibes, tropical blast, bubble bath and starburst. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, some bitterness, biscuit, hay, bread, touch of melon, pear, apple, boozey hit, cereal and a touch of nuttiness with a drying finish. Average body and restrained carbonation. Definitely a Belgian style IPA. Fair.

Leg at the brewery. It pours clear blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is soft, white bread, mellow snout, florals, daisies, touch of herbs and biscuit. The taste is drying upfront, boozey for the style, toasty grains, bread, biscuit, some pear, melon, apple, spice and damp herbs with a drying, peppery finish. Average body and moderate fluffy carbonation. A reasonable blonde ale. Fairly run of the mill.

Can from The Bottle Shop, Bruges. It pours ? As drank straight out of the can. The aroma is bright, juicy, big passion fruit vibes, maracuja, tangy, tropical, five alive fruit juice, pineapple, candy and sherbet. The taste is smooth, juicy, bright, tropical, plenty of passion fruit, touch of pineapple, touch of candy sugars, limited tang, hides the abv well and fruit juice with a drying finish.. Medium body and soft, supportive carbonation. Drinks like juice and hides the well. Decent for what it is.

Lot No2 2025 edition. Bottle at De Garre. It pours clear deep amber with a fluffy slightly off white head. The aroma is soft, smooth sweetness, vanilla pudding, sponge cake, creme brulé, biscuit, custard, bourbon soaked oak, apple crumble, fruit cake, raisin, sultanas and toasted almonds. The taste is smooth, hides alcohol well, biscuit, sponge cake, fruit cake, marzipan, vanilla custard, raisin, sultana, bread and butter pudding, pleasing warmth, bourbon soaked oak, dull tannin, chewy toffee, light spice and green banana on the backdrop. Finishes up dry with fleeting spice. Medium body and moderate+ fluffy carbonation. Love this. Great depth of flavour and the barrel aging does justice to the base beer. Awesome.

Can from Brussels Midi station. Drank of the can, but I would imagine this is clear golden with a white head... The aroma is raw and boozy, raw, quite sweet, sugary, cakey malts, biscuit, estery fruits and rubbing alcohol. The taste is quite sweet, grainy, nutty, cereal, raw booze, rubbing alcohol, tramp sauce, green veg, grassy, some bitterness and not a lot else.... Finish is raw and alcoholic. Worse than expected. I pushed through, but wouldn't return to this.
