Pours fairly dark blonde to amber. Medium head. Scent is malty, mild tea. Taste is full on malty, medium bitterness. Mild on the tea. Easy drinker. Fairly creamy, medium carbo. lovely. I've been asking for more bitter's in Belgium (more than the ... zero ? we have ) . I hope this is one to stay, and/or inspire others.

On tap at Beerlovers Bar Antwerpen. A hazy amber beer with a white head. Aroma of moderate bitter hops, some tea and grains. Taste of mild fruity bitter hops some Earl grey tea, not too bitter.

Draught Veiled orange beer with very good, ultra dense and -fine off-white head. Fine hoppy nose, aromatic; faraway hints at honey and ripe grain. Again the same fine bitterness; a hint, sparkling as from crisp British malts - Crystal maybe? Another spicey vector is more than probably due to the tea, though I don't recognise Bergamotte. Light body, medium carbonation, bit slick, nowhere empty. Excellent in the way that ir really resembles a (really good) boys' bitter.

10/IV/21 - 44cl can from Misery webshop, shared @ home, BB: 20/IX/21 (2021-268)

Clear orange blond beer, big solid creamy yellowish head, unstable, falls down quickly, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit malty, banana, yeasty, hint of sulphur upon opening, orange peel, bit oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: good bitterness, bit malty, grains, some caramel, bit of diacetyl, black tea. Aftertaste: very bitter, dry, malty touch, bit floral, hoppy, earl grey, malty, overripe banana. Ok, not super duper though.

44cl can, BB 20/09/2021 from Misery Online shop.
Couleur orange-doré sur effet miel présentant un léger voile surtout sur la fin, col fin crémeux blanc tenace.
Arôme aux senteurs fleuries, fruitées plutôt dans une palette noble. Retrouve un apport plaisant de l'Earl Grey - rétro-nasal bien sur le malt avec un biscuité classique mais qui apporte une belle dimension.

Palais est de suite plaisant, quel plaisir de pas toujours avoir droit à des IPA. Bonne classique anglais - simple Maris Otter - Belgomalt? qui procure un excellent caractère fin biscuité et bien malté avec un houblonné finement amer en fin de bouche entre fruité et fleuri. Earl Grey procure un ajout de feuille sèche et finement agrumes qui apporte un côté plus frais juteux que le houblon avec une belle dose d'amertume qui revient en fin de bouche.

Classique, mais que du bonheur dans cette marée d'IPA neipa et milkshake et purée de fruits.
