5/II/17 - on tap @ Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2017-113) Thanks to 77ships, kraddel and Rubin77 for sharing today's beers!
Cloudy orange beer, practically no head. Aroma: tropical fruits, sweet, mango, passion fruit, lychee, yes, yes, this is the real deal, lovely fresh stuff! MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, grapefruit, lots of pineapple, very resinous, hoppy, bitter, what a lovely beer. Aftertaste: maybe a little too bitter, more tropical fruit cocktail. Nice!
At BBF. Apparently Klaas Dellaert, whom I consider to be one of the most innovative brewers in Belgium of the moment, decided to put his Christmas tree to good use and soak its needles in an IPA already made piney by New World hops. Creamy, quite heavily lacing, egg-white, frothy head on top of a hazy peach blonde beer. Aroma of pine resin and spruce shoots indeed, along with green banana, dried apricot, white bread, pineapple, toast, butterscotch and something glueish. Fruity onset, hints of peach and pineapple, medium carbo, light and supple mouthfeel, cereally and slightly bready middle, resinous finish, aromatic with the expected piney and grapefruity aromas of the ’new’ hops actually matching well with the resinous ’green’ qualities of the spruce needles, bit yeasty as well. Klaas and Ster offered me a few spruce needles to taste along with this beer and I have to admit it: I was a bit skeptical at first, but in this particular form, it turns out way better than I could ever have imagined. Interesting and original beer, big cheers to Klaas and Liesbeth!

Dark brown colour, creamy foam. Nose of roasted malts, caramel, fudge, sweet dark fruit. Sweet and roasty, bitter finish. Nice mix betwee stout and barley wine.
