Babylone

Brewery: Brussels Beer Project
Supplier: Beer52

Another main beer from the Brussels Beer Project and an unusual one this, made with recycled bread as the yeast source (I think, it just says made with recycled bread, and that that is what they did in the past - in places such as Babylon). I served this slightly chilled.
Appearance: Brown with a reddish hue, with a thin off-white head. 
Aroma: Mainly hops on the nose, with sour citrus and peaches. There is also some caramel notes right in the back.
Flavour: Huge spice notes in the front, the a thick and overpowering hop resin note. There is also a faint savoury note in the back similar to green avocados. 
Body: A little fizzy on the front but turns quite smooth. 
Aftertaste: Predominantly cereal notes, some caramel, and a little metallic. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, a nice and a little unusual beer, nice to drink a couple of in a night. Not as rough as I thought it would be considering they use (I believe) bread yeast.

Price Range: Another from the box of 10 for £14, so £1.40 for a 330ml bottle; a good price for a nice and complex beer.

Food Pairings: A nice piece of banana bread.
