t Smisje + Dubbel IPA

Bottle. Blonde, very cloudy. Pours and enormous frothy head. Vanilla, citrus and flowery hops in the aroma. Vanilla yeasty flavor with warming alcohol, traubenzucker and citrus. The very first signs of an infection? Maybe. Yeasty aftertaste, mint. In spite of its flaws, I like this beer.

Bottle (33 cl) from Ølbutikken. Cloudy golden with medium white head. Caramelly malt aroma with tropical fruits, yeast, and some barnyard notes. Medium bodied and smooth. Heavy bitterness.

33 cl bottle from Le Vaudree II, Liege: poured cloudy yellow with a huge rocky off white head. Big yeast and herbaceous hop aroma. ome barnyard notes. Taste is very yeasty with light citrusy hops and massive bitterness. This is not an American DIPA if that’s what you’re looking for..

Bottled. Golden coluored. Unclear. Dense and frothy off white head. Yeast, elderberry, light banana, loads of sweetness and some stearin notes in the aroma. flavour of alcohol, sweetness, yeast, some light herbs and again some elder. Medium bodied. Dry. Light bitter end with a lot of sweetness. More of a belgian ale than a DIPA IMO. Still a quite decent brew though, with a high drinkability.

Botella. Vintage 2007. Cloudy deep golden colour withy a huge creamy and rocky white long lasting head leaving a very nice sticky and creamy lacing. The aroma has a pleasant sweetness with yeast and hops along with ripe fruits and spices. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is quite sweet with ripe fruits and yeast, some spice, alcohol, hops and a pleasant bitterness. Dry bitter sweet finish.
