De Ranke XXX Bitter

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

750 ml capped bottle. Poured in a Flandrian tulip glass an unfiltered and hazy pale amber-golden coloured B A with a good two fingers, fine, dense, creamy and almost white foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Active carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is yeasty, spicy, cloves, coriander, citrussy hops and a pronounced sourish side. The flavour is a blend beteween sweety and biscuity malts and a powerful hoppy sourish-bitter feeling, spicy and fruity, grapefruits, citrus. The mouthfeel is creamy, sparkling, thin and overwhelmed by a powerful floral hoppy feeling. The texture is watery. This medium bodied B A has a lingering hoppy bitter finish. A well hopped and mild ( only 6 % ABV )Belgian Ale , for short a Good Belgian Ale.

Another bottle from impromptu share @ ~~NGD's. Golden pour, nice tight head and lacing. Belgian yeasts and golden ale meet hops! Pleasant nose and palate: requisite Belgian yeasts, nice malt presences, abundant earthy hops leaving a substantial linger. Very well-crafted Belgian IPA, because that is what this is. Tasty.
