I had thought this style had been made to dig its own shallow grave in the cane fields but apparently not. A boxed can! Brilliantly packaged. Pale gold with a slight haze and a good cm of white head. Aroma of light biscuit, gooseberries, light tropical fruit. And then it _is_ like an austere tripel with tropical hops - lean and very fruity with a solventy touch, some warmth and lowish bitterness. The best Brut IPA I've had (not a _very_ high bar, but still).
Can from Deconinck. Clear yellow, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of peach, white grape, melon, pineapple, champagne, mandarin zest. Taste has sweetish peach, grape & pineapple, sourish zesty accents, slightly bready-malty, some yeast & spices. Floral hoppy finish, lots of fresh yellow fruit enhanced by warming white wine-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Refreshing, really good in its style.
Pale yellow appearance with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a subtle citrus and sweet melon. Has some grassy bitterness too. Dangerously easy to drink.
26/II/21 - 33cl can from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte), shared @ home, BB: 8/IX/21, canned: 8/XII/20 (2021-160)
Clear pale blond to straw yellow beer, big aery fizzy white head, unstable, falls down quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: nice, some tropical fruits, juicy, citrus notes, bit yeasty, CO2, some banana peel, peaches. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: bit weird, metallic touch, unpleasant bitterness, same feeling I have with a lot of brut IPAs, a bit fruity, slightly sourish, spicy touch. Aftertaste: tropical fruits, peaches, hoppy, citrus notes. Not a big fan of this one. As much as I love all sorts of IPAs, Brut IPA isn’t one of them...
Near clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, grass, tropical fruits and grapefruit with a light malt backbone. Flavour is above moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Above medium bodied with light carbonation.
44cl Blik van Uiltje. Lichtgeel, witte kraag. Bloemig, wat droog, druiven, druivenschilletjes, citrus, fris en makkelijk drinkbaar. Medium body. Lekker.
