Orange with a foamy, white head. Spicy, yeasty, white wine aroma. Taste is bitter, lightly citric, spiced. Medium chewiness, a touch bready, faint orange jam tartness. Slight warmth. Not refreshing, but still easy-going.

Organic spice beer, the spice in question - quite unusually for Belgium - being turmeric (Curcuma). Commissioned by Innotech-Food, a company specialized in preserved vegetables and fruit; longneck bottle, beer brewed by La Binchoise. Opens with a hiss, followed by slow gushing, but nothing unmanageable. Thick, dense, firm, egg-white, very mousy head, misty apricot blonde robe with ochre-ish tinge, the mist perturbed by strings of fierce sparkling; shifts to a cloudy ochre-hued peach blonde with sediment (but not as 'yellow' as I was silently hoping for - seen the turmeric or 'Indian saffron'). Aroma of freshly cut red apple, white bread, halfripe melon, soap, dust, pear, diluted liquorish-like spice effect no doubt representing the turmeric, pumice, iron shavings (faintly). Sweetish onset, fruity, banana, ripe pear, red apple, green melon, touch peach, fizzy carbonation but 'refinedly' so, not hindering an otherwise very soft, fluffy, almost 'downy', light mouthfeel. Rounded, very soft bready maltiness, some honeyish residual sweetness, minerally side notes and lingering banana and pear fruitiness in the end bordering on a very soft, soapy and again (strangely, perhaps) very slightly liquorish-like spiciness. A dash of floral hop bitterness accentuates this spice factor, which all the way at the back becomes a little bit wry; luckily they kept it subtle here, contrary to the average Walloon spice ale, so that it does not bother me anywhere. In fact, I'm wondering what the use of this turmeric addition is, as it adds not so much flavour at all, even if this beer certainly has an overall spicy quality to it. Soft, sweetish, accessible, very Belgian ale, correctly made but forgettable as well, though not at all bad for an organic beer.

Bouteille 33cl de Carrefour Market Bxl; BB 24/04/2020. Dorée-orangée, col blanc. Arôme assez classique belge, retrouve un effet botanique herbacé ponctué par un malté plus dominant entre caramel et fin biscuité. Palais est malté cara pâle, pils avec un effet sucre résiduel marqué - voire candi. Houblonné moyen noble arrivant en retrait du malt, petite note épicée de levure en fin de bouche. Au final, un curcuma qui apporte peu en terme de goût, et peut être plus en effet de couleur pour son approche au safran.
