Feb 26, 2005 An old rating, from 2002. Bottle poured a golden color with a touch of haze and a dense, creamy head. A spicy/floral aroma hits the nose quickly. Flavors of sour fruits (apples, pears), and pale malt are evident. Finishes quite dry. Alcohol level is hidden pretty nicely ’cause I don’t catch 8.5 in this one.

Jan 23, 2005 33 cl bottle, bbe March 06. Clear, golden, large head that nevertheless doesn’t last long, a couple of lines of bubbles from the bottom. Hoppy and flowery in the nose. Malty flavour with some caramel, strong hops and sour lambiek-reminiscent notes.

Jan 20, 2005 Yeasty nose - light, cloudy pale orange color, sticky lacy head. Medium pale malt body with some vanilla undertones. Gritty end and cardboardy aftertaste resulting in a rought texture. Overall quite nice.

Jan 9, 2005 Light golden with a large head. Aromatics of fruit, especially white grapes and pear, along with other hints of vanilla and yeast. Suprisingly lovely flavor with notes of bubble gum and dried candied fruits. A finish of saaz hops gives a moderately bitter, spicy and grassy finish. Tasty and I had never heard of this before. Thanks Dr. Bill.

Jan 4, 2005 Ahhh… I’m finally putting my favorite piece of glassware; my Hapkin tulip, to it’s proper use!
Reads: - “Best Before 11/03” ~ Am I a year too late?
The Kin pours a glowing copper body and a huge rocky white head. The aroma and flavor are lightly tart with ideas of, lemon, dried apricot, some green apple, and a pastry doughy-ness. The Kin is rather earthy, lightly peppery, and holds a unique hoppy bittering bite in the lingering finish. This Belgian finishes with a warming tangy-ness and concludes dry and lightly fruity. I’ve only had a handful of Belgians that I could compare to the Kin…. The Hapkin.

Dec 30, 2004 Bottled (BB 11/2005)
Very pale yellow, huge foamy white head, lots of lace. Strong aroma of Saaz hops and ear wax. Hoppy, white wine-like palate: hint of apples. Hoppy bitter aftestaste. A bit like a witbier. Quite thin bodied for this ABV. Expected more from this.

Dec 25, 2004 Hazy golden colour with a huge frothy white head. Fruity, floral and sweet aroma. Sweet and sour fruity taste, medium bodied with a foamy mouthfeel, smooth and dry. Alcohol is well hid. Spritzy is a good descriptor. Very good.
