330 ml. bottle sampled. Wow, a beer for another new commission brewery that brews its beers at Gulden Spoor. There have been a surprising amount of these lately, are these guys planning on becoming the new De Proefbrouwerij (in terms of quantity not quality I presume?). It must be noted that I cannot find the name Gulden Spoor anywhere on the label. It does specify that it was brewed only Belgian hops. Pours hazy deep golden, sparkling, small but substation off-white head. Nose is very odd, heavily dominated by some odd spice, a review below suggests, bog-myrtle, that could very well be it, very odd, very heavy & not really my kind of thing plus on top it is mixed with an odd cooked vegetables, cooked cabbage & ginger notes, even more of the same spice, soap, a bit chemical. Body is overly fizzy. The taste is dominated by the same heavy bog-myrtle spice, plastic bitter, wild bitter uneatable plants, coriander, heavy medicinal & medicinal herbs, some caramel, chemical, touch sugar, soap, vegetable, light touch of booze,… Very weird & I foresee this one being a hugely polarizing beer. It isn’t really for me, it felt way too much like something that someone practicing in alternative medicine might prescribe. Very weird, I can foresee some people really liking this one. Just not me, other people.

Bottle @ home. Almost clear orange color, medium sized off-white to beige head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, herbal, lightly vegetal. Taste malts, quite a lot of herbs or spices, again a bit vegetal, lightly alcoholic. Average to medium body, firm a bit fizzy carbonation. Not my kind of beer.

1/III/14 - 33cl bottle from Café 't Hoekske (Geluveld) @ home - BB: n/a (forgot to write it down?) (2014-233) Thanks to Cis for doing my shopping! :-)
Little cloudy dark orange beer, lots of small sediment floating around in the glass under a huge creamy off-white head, very stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: some vegetable sourp, sweet and sugary, almonds, caramel, banana, fruity esters. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter start, bit chemical, sweet and sugary, malty caramel flavours, bit fruity. Aftertaste: very bitter, bit grassy, almonds, medicinal bitterness, very dry and bitter ending. It's very hoppy, that's good. But could use some more balance, maybe some more aroma hop instead of bitter hops.
