Hobbybrouwer Jacques Bertens stelde het winnende recept samen en mocht zijn zwaar blond brouwen in de Brand Bierbrouwerij in Wijlre. Vijf verschillende hopsoorten geven dit bier zijn frisse en fruitige smaak. Het zware karakter is afkomstig van de hoeveelheid gebruikte graan.

330ml bottle outside a random bar in the afternoon sunshine, Valkenburg on 4th November 2025. Clean and clear amber body, white crust. Liked it's boozy uncomplicated feel, lovely blend of malts and non citrus hops. Doesn't pretend to be special or 'craft'. just an honest strong blonde.

Pours a clear yellow/golden with a tall white head. Aroma of fruits, some hops, a touch of yeast, sugary. The alcohol isn’t exactly hidden, it’s definitely noticeable. This is an okay brew, but I’m not impressed.

Thuis uit een flesje. Goudgeel kleur, wit schuim. Geen bijzonder aroma, wel een aangename blond smaak. Ook wel krachtig.

Bottle 0,3ltr: Clear golden coloured brew with an nice bitter taste and just the right sweetness. Nicely fruity, some alcoholic burning and maybe some saltiness.
