Een fris blond genietersbier met een mooie witte schuimkraag. De fruitige aanzet wordt vergezeld een verassende hopbitterheid. Op de actergrond spelen er lichte florale en kruidige accenten. Een complex maar toch doordrinkbaar blondje.

Towering dense, very stable lightly yellowish head over darker golden beer with a light greenish sheen. Huge head seriously hampers smelling. Seems rather neutral, even a bit malty at first, then a bit spicy and leafy. Very bitter flavour, hops - unfortunately not the C-hops, but EU bittering hops. Rest is... well, not much. Warming up, thankfully a bit more balance tries to creep in. Medium bodied, quite slick, almost overcarbonated. The way many Be breweries prove they don't understand IPA. Thanks to Barbara & Tim!

Bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck. Hazy blond colour, white foam. Rather bitter, dry, notes of citrus peel. Not really an IPA but a decent bitter blond beer.

11/VIII/18 - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte), shared with the famous Bierridder @ home - BB: 29/I/20 (2018-971)
Clear deep blond beer, big creamy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet, malty, oxidized, some ripe fruits, pretty soapy. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweetish start, very malty, very soapy, bitter, fruity notes, bit sugary. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, hoppy, grassy, fruity, ripe banana, coriander, yeasty. Ok beer, but by no means is this an IPA.
