21 August 2021. At Gents Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Kevin, Jerre & the Ghent beer crew! Hazy brown, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of brioche, biscuit, peanut, cashew, pear, candied plum, brandy, dried banana. Taste has very sweet plum, banana & pear wrapped in brioche-like maltiness, syrupy, somewhat chewy-bready; clove-like phenols & subtle herbal bitterness in the back, tea-ish. Herbal hoppy finish, lingering dried fruits, bitterish orange peel, warming bourbon alcohol. Medium body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Hefty Barley Wine, yet a comfortable sipper.

Draught Due to insufficient lighting conditions, arbitrary 4/5. Coffe, mocha, and sweet toast, coffeemilk. In the mouth however, the Philly Sour gives soft lactic acid, hints of sugars, both candi sugar and lactose. Faint ureum and caramel in the finish. Lipsmacking sourness - despite the soft acidity provided. Mild carbonation, not very dense body. Likeable, even if it is more interesting than great.

Pours clear, medium dark blonde. Big, creamy and stable white head. Scent is malty- more so than your average IPA in 2021 . Hoparoma isn't lost either, but is more to the 'traditional' USA IPA style, rather than a NE style. Nice to have this again, in a market that seems to orient more and more around 1 specific IPA style. Taste is fairly bitter, creamy body, medium intense hoparoma (orange, papaya, mildly tropical ) . Very malty,greeen, earthy bitterness. Medium carbonation, body is fairly thick - accentuated by the creamyness.

Pours unclear yellow, smell is full, creamy hops, milder citrus. Taste is full, medium bitterness. Very malty, intense base. Not too sweet (unlike most other TIPA's) heavy hoparoma. Nice!

Can @ Belgian Summer Gathering Sept' 21, Evergem.
Dorée, léger paille, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme au bouquet citrique avec un beau rendu d'agrumes, rétro léger citrique sur quasi presque une même base que la nouvelle black sour IPA.
Palais est fin, finement 'sour', petite touche fruitée rappelant les bretts, sec en fin de bouche avec un fini malt pils.

Can @ Belgian Summer Gathering Sept' 21, Evergem. Merci Klaas.
BB 03/2022.
Noire huile de moteur, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme aux effluves maltées, chocolat, touche pâtissière, noix de coco, petite note de macaron - douceur sucré résiduelle perdure en rétro. Pas mal de malts - choco/cara, même note de fruits noirs des malts et un léger côté agrumes du houblon Galena.

Palais est de suite marqué par une épaisseur de malts/grains - chocolaté, grillé, avoine, caramel, presque mélasse, douceur apportée par la noix de coco et ce côté avec le douceur du macaron - sucre impalpable - ce qui donne quand même un fini marqué par le sucre résiduel. Amertume plus que discrète sur qcq pointes d'agrumes.
