t Smisje + Dubbel IPA

Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

11.2oz bottle. This one poured all head (and I mean all head). Eventually settled into a medium to deeper and cloudy golden color. Some big floaters. Aromas of spices (lots of pepper with cloves), yeast, bananas, and some citrus. Tastes of the same spiciness, fruity, some yeast, and very light citrus. Light to medium alcohol in the finish. I would have guessed this one was a Belgian Strong vs. an IIPA.

Hazy gold color with a creamy thick head. Aroma is sweet caramel malty, with a nice peppery hop note. Caramel malt flavor and lots of smoke flavor up front lasting through the finish along with a bitter hop bite in the back. The smoke and hops fight against each other at first and don’t quite meld nicely.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a very cloudy gray honey gold with an enormous foamy white head. Aroma of spice, banana, cloves, belgian yeast and papaya. Taste is spicy with hints of cloves, banana, yeast and faint citrus hops.

Bottle. Cloudy blonde color with a white head. Aroma: Very sweet, belgian yeast, spices, banana, citrus, sugar and smoke?. Flavor: Sweet and yeasty, tropical fruit, banana, spices, sugar, citrus, honey, earth, bitter hops, and some smoke in the taste as well?. Full bodied. Interesting and different beer, but not very drinkable. Half a bottle was more then enough.

Cloudy copper with big head and good headretention. Cloudy and opaque. Yeast, bread, sweet and ripe bananas aroma. Taste is sweet and malty with some hops. Alcohol barely noticeable. Ok but it does not taste like an IPA

Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper with a huge thick white head. Soapy, peppery, grassy hop aroma. Soapy bitter hops and a nicely balanced malt taste. As it warms a little, lots of fruity spicy belgian yeast characteristics come out. Fruity, bitter finish. A really unique taste and something you will definitely not taste often. Would I drink this all of the time? I don’t think so, but it was a cool thing to try.

Bottle, 10%. Citric aroma. Cloudy dark orange colour. Stable, creamy off-white head. Quite sweet flavour, very full mouthfeel. The alcohol gives a slightly rough bitterness in the aftertaste.

Hazy yellow colour with medium white head.Aroma is fruity most Greapfruits and Lemon real bitter,but in a nice way.Feels refreshing and powerful with a long and light hoppy finish.
