This was a Christmas present in 2024 that was drunk in January 2025.
This is a deep golden colour in the glass with a thick, fluffy, bright white head. A stack of tiny bubbles is rushing up the glass, and this looks just like a beer should.
The Belgian yeast is very evident in the nose, with big notes of clove lying over a subtle grapefruit peel and citrus base.
The taste is exactly as the nose suggested it would be. It's very Belgiany, almost dubbel-like with that peppery, spicy, clovey Belgian yeast note, and at the back end, there's a little hit of grapefruit bitterness. A long, tangy note hangs around after the swallow.
The beer's body is full and smooth, with a medium amount of carbonation that complements the Belgian spicy note just right.
Overall, this one grew on me the longer I spent time with it. Once the Belgian phenolic notes calmed down, it went from being a clone of a Belgium dubbel to being more in the IPA range, especially with that nice bitness at the end.
Cheers!
