Donkergeel bier met stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter hoppig met een echte intense graan en moutsmaak. Heel goed!

Bottle. Golden pour. Aroma of sweet herbs, yeast, malt and orange. Taste of bitter nettle, yeast, orange zest and some malt. Weird.

Small to medium white head over cold hazed metallic golden beer. Strong penetrating pale malts nose in the first instance, later much more mellow & creamy. Even a bit dairy. Green leaves and grassy. Sweetish pale mats, lightened by a slight sourness - mostly from the CO². Hops just good for not too much sweetness. Finish has a soft fruity sourness finally. Light, very well-carbonated, bit sharpish finish. Sustainable? Hah! Quinoa in the west means a disaster for South America where they cannot afford it anymore. And why a gren bottle again? Craft Heineken? 6/4/6/3/11

33cl bottle on 16th May 2018, drank inside the Bier Paleis, Brugge. Light haze to my golden pour, decent white crown on top that hung around. Grainy, corn like aroma and taste, didn't really take to it.

27/04/2018 @home - 33cl bottle from Prik & Tik Edelare. Drank from the bottle. Nose is some grains, some yeast, bit plisner like. Taste starts sweet malty, bit corn, bit bitterness. Nice attempt but just a bit too thin.

Organic quinoa- and fenugreek-containing lager made by a new, small Belgian brewery – quite an unusual choice in terms of beer style and brewing technique. Sampled at ZBF, thanks to the brewer. Loose, snow white, moussy head over a hazy straw blonde beer with vague greenish tinge. Aroma suffered a bit from the lightstruck effect (mercaptans from the hops – the old familiar ammonia- or cat pee-like skunkednes) which should not be a complete surprise given the fact that this came from a pale green bottle, a rarity in Belgium where even the larger producers of ‘pils’ usually resort to brown glass for bottling, but then green glass is of course cheaper than brown glass… Other impressions include grass, bread crust, green apple peel, pear, cereals but only the slightest hint of fenugreek seed. Clean, simple onset with hardly any fruitiness except from a pear-like note, moderately carbonated (perhaps even a bit on the soft side for the intended style) with a clean, thinnish and straightforward, ‘white bread’- and cereal- or indeed quinoa-like maltiness, a bit sweetish with a very thin sourish edge, followed by a light grassy hop bitterish finish with minerally aspects and a mild spicy note (the fenugreek, I suppose) – and the retronasal return of the lightstruck effect. Weirdly industrial in its make-up, simple and thin even for its style, clean, bit bland and very straightforward... I would recommend these guys to get rid of the green glasses though, the skunked effect in the nose largely ruined this for me.

26/IV/18 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 27/III/20 (2018-485)

Clear blond beer, big creamy white head, bit irregular, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: smells like an African lager, and not in a good way. Probably the quinoa which is like other weird grains that are sometimes used in these African lagers... Cow fodder, bit metallic, some banana. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweetish, malty, grains, cow fodder, some banana. Aftertaste: metallic bitterness, malty, unpleasant, don't like it, bah.
