Bottle at home, orange beer, small head. Aroma is wheat, malt. Taste is the same, fruity, tart, not much else. meh

Low-alcoholic beer, a ‘table beer’ indeed, but dubbed an ale since it is top-fermented contrary to the typical Belgian ‘tafelbier’. Thanks Craftmember for sharing. Eggshell-white, medium thick, mousy head lacing in shreds over a hazy, peach-tinged ‘old gold’ beer. Aroma very reminiscent of stale beer (like a pale lager poured the day before), sweat, old potatoes, cooked cotton cloth, old wrinkled apples, raw grains, minerals, soggy old bread. Restrainedly fruity onset with apple peel notes over a sourish edge, hinting at infection; lively carbonation, while this ‘dirty sour’ effect continues alongside a cereally, thinnish-bready malt middle, ending with soft hop bitterness and, very dominantly so, that ‘stale’ effect overtaking in the end. Not a bad idea in view of that low alcohol hype the Low Countries are in the middle of right now, but badly executed, this is clearly infected and not at all inviting.

0.33 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', best before September 2020. Almost clear, orangeish amber with a medium large, foamy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy and a bit yeasty-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Just slightly sweet, moderately bitter, fairly dry, a bit yeasty-spicy taste of straw, some clove and grains, followed by a short, gently bitter, very dry and slightly grassy finish. Thin body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Okay, not overly tasty.

Cloudy pale golden colour, tall frothy white head, good retention and lacing. Aroma grain, lemon, yeast, grass. Thin taste, light sweet and bitter and some citric acidity, lemon, yeast, grassy. Light body, watery texture, lively carbonation, okay.
