Who I Follow
Pilaarbijter Brune, 6.5% ABV, (Bavikhove, Belgium) from the ratebeer.com website: “Dark ale, fermented in the bottle. Inspired by a Breughel painting, “The Flemish Proverbs” (1559), in which several Flemish proverbs are depicted amongst which is the expression “He’s a pilaarbijter” (“pillar biter”), which means, ’He’s a hypocritical man.’” My Notes: My Rating: C Why I don’t love it: off-putting honey and wheat Where I got it: Brewery Creek (?), 2011 How much: ~$4, 330ml Do I love this enough to drink it again: No Would I recommend this to beer afficianados: No Tasting Notes: pours cloudy chestnut brown, decent head, mix of large and foamy CO2, lots of CO2 streams, sticky lacing, sediment in the bottle. Honeyed malts on the nose. 7/10 bright sweet honey up front, sharp start, semi-large CO2 persists throughout, wheat & bread malts pick up in the mids, finishes tingly 3/10 mildly bittersweet with a lingering rough finish on the tongue and throat. Body is somewhat thin from the mids until the finish and texture reminds me of a honey lager. Medium-high complexity, medium depth, not so good carry, medium bodied, medium-long length. This flavour is not for me (honeyed wheat with thin body).
