75cl bottle from Carrefour, Sint-Kruis. Effectively paired with white meat (pasta with chicken). Pours hazy yellow, lasting, thin, foamy, white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of yellow apple, unripe apricot, lemon zest, pineapple, white pepper, white bread, peach. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of apple & pear, faintly tropical (pineapple, peach), sourish lemon in the back, supportive (white) bready maltiness and even vague white sugar, spicy bitter notes of pepper & grass. Dryish, peppery hoppy finish, lingering yellow fruit & white bread. Medium body, slick-fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Straightforward blond Ale but not that bad, and actually a good pairing.

The third in this series of food-pairing beers, 75 cl bottle with crown cap, from the Delhaize supermarket at Watersportbaan in Ghent. After red meat and fish, Delhaize now suggest this hoppy beer as an accompaniment to white meat and fowl. I’m having it on its own. Egg-white, thick and foamy, cobweb-lacing, frothy head over a misty straw blonde beer with warmer golden tinge. Aroma of white bread slices, soap, straw, white pepper, fried potatoes, green banana, hard pear, camomile tea, crackers, fresh wormwood leaf accent. Restrainedly fruity onset, banana peel, unripe pear and apple peel, medium carb, soapy mouthfeel (a tad glueish even); grainy-cereally body with softer bready edges, dryish in general, with a relatively long and outspoken, floral an grassy, bit spicy and eventually even wormwoody hop bitterness mingling with mild phenolic-spicy accents and the bready effect of the malts. Simple, bit too grainy Belgian style blonde, but I can appreciate its relatively confident hop bitterness – given that this is aimed at a large audience. I can even imagine this hoppiness working well with spiced chicken, though even then, a modern IPA is probably a better option…

Thick, dense light yellowish head, leaving shards of lace over hazy pale yellow-golden beer, mossy sheen. Dry-spicy nose, coriander. Bit gassy nose too. Dry, again quite spicy flavour, with malt sweetness arriving behind. Palate has some metallic tang, but gives a pretty rounded impression. Gristslick, good carbonation. Not bad.

F: big, snow-white, long lasting. C: blonde, hazy. A: malty, spicy, floral, grassy, fruity, orange peels, yeasty, bit basements. T: malty, spicy, floral, bit bready, fruity, caramel, bit grassy, hint of earthy, nice harmonic bitterness, toast, medium body and carbonation, this is more like saison and not tripel for me, nice balanced and bit unusual yet I can imagine this with white meat, 75cl bottle from Delhaize Chazal @ Schaerbeek in Brussels.
