Emergency Escape
Brouwerij De Moersleutel

Pours a hazy golden amber, peach coloration with a medium, frothy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical/citrus hops, with quite a prominent grassy dankness as well. Taste follows the nose, with a good balance of biscuity malt and grassy, citrus/tropical hops, with notes of mango, papaya, grapefruit and a strong grassy/herbal dankness. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some tropical notes and herbal dankness lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

I might have rated this slightly higher if it didn't explicitely style itself as a NEIPA, which it's just not juicy and fluffy enough for. Instead it has quite a strong dankness to it, this is probably the weediest-tasting IPA I've ever had, actually. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, I will say that this is pretty enjoyable in its own right, actually.

 

 

 

Can @ home, 6 days after canning. Murky golden to amber color. Rocky off white head with reasonable retention. Aroma's: very juicy, sweet & sour fruit, dank hops. Retronasal the dankness is much more upfront, with fruits more subdued, plus some bitterness. Flavour is light moderate bitter with some juice sourness. Medium bodied. Spritzy carbonation. Long finish, slightly dry, moderate bitter and dank. Still not completely there yet.
