Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Deep amber/orange. Slightly hazy, minor sediment lifts at end of pour and some left in bottle. Pours with inch high chunky hard-whipped cream looking (super-fine bubbles) off-white head. ps holding well 10mins after pouring.
S- I got a bright contemporary-hops waft on the pour from 20Cm away. Up close is similar, plus possibly a hint of orange?
T- Boom! It's notably bitter and a brief sour aspect makes me involuntarily physically shudder. Heck of an impactful beer though that was my 1st sip today. My palate adapts and calms. I'm now seeing the balance between hops and richness.
F- F stands for Full-on in this case. One for slow-sipping for me.
O- Without having read up on this I'm really curious what this is. The hops seem too dominant for a Tripel, unless it's a contemporary/hipstered version. A 'big' Belgian IPA... maybe. It's solid ABV but unless it turns out it's north of 10% I don't think it's quite dramatic enough for a Barley-wine; also I note no obvious wine-like notes here... nor barrel timber for that matter ...hmmm. Big, impactful and something different for sure...
Review #1899 and scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the bottle lables to see what I missed! ==> Double-IPA. Little other info there.
330ml bottle BB: Oct-2022 Euro2.95 Bought from BeerMania/Belgium as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

660 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8.5%. Cloudy pale yellowish colour, large and lasting white head, looks like a witbier. Lovely and quite complex fruity aroma, notes of a wide variety of fruits, also spruce. Slightly sweet flavour, very hoppy, with a massive bitterness throughout. Bitter aftertaste too, nearly medicinal.

Enjoyed at Family Brews, Brussels. Must stop here if it's still open. Great beer curation and quiet.
This has changed from earlier reviews to a clear, darker amber color with a 2 finger dense,fluffy white head with great retention, awash with lace. Supports a big lasting head.
s/t) Subtle and precise aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, lemon, orange, rind, and then long in pine, peppercorn, light caramel, with some bread, flowers, grass, and herbs.
f) Has the green peppercorn/pine notes that cleanse your palate.
o) Gets better as it warms. A top Belgian DIPA brewed by a Dutchman.

Dark orange, quite hazy. A lot of foam, not too beautiful.
In the smell malt, light caramel, lot of hops, citrussy. Some sugary note, fruit (pear, apple), candy sugar,
The bitterness dominates the taste. On a malty base. A bit unbalanced toward the bitter side, without enough support. Resinous and citrus.
Stroognly bitter aftetaste, long, but not convincing. A bit heavy.

Pours a hazy, dark amber, with a one finger head that doesn't leave much lacing. Good retention though. Smells of mango, pineapple, something like corn, orange, lemon, pine/resin and toasted bread. A little bit of alcohol. Taste is a bit spicy and bitter, with citrus and orange dominating. There's also some toasted bread/biscuit in there, and the whole thing has a grassy character to it. Some sourness as well. And some butter too? Body is thin with light carbonation, very smooth.

Great stuff.

Hazy orange color with a decent head, which leaves a long staying lacing. Intense Aromas of yeast, lemon, orange and soap, which results in an unusual but pleasant melange. Hop is foremost defined by orange, grass and limes. This ale is definitely on the hoppy side, fantastic bitterness resulting from the floral start, long lasting on the palate. Has a dry, chewy mouthfeel. Warm, yeast orientated beginning, soon gets overpowered by hop freshness, without being too aggressive. Malt stays in the background the whole time, adding a sweeter note the the body, without being distractive from the hops, which are huge in this. The beer gets actually quite bitter in the end, still leaving some space for limes on the tastebuds. Also wheat remains on the palate, which creates, in combination with the hops, a unique popcorn-like flavor.

The bottle opens nice hoppy aroma, pours out a nice foamy head with small bubbles hazey body with a orange colour. Head lasts the whole time leaving a lace. Has a citrusy hops flavour with a mild malt backbone. Bitterness lingers abv 8.5 hid very well
