Good, very dense & fine, stable light yellowish head over veiled golden beer with some lace. Floral nose, fresh green leaves, weeds, hops, some esters. Dry, bitterish, weeds and a meaty ester reminiscent of bacon fry. Faintly toasted, yeasty, musk. Short dry finish. Feels well-carbonated, alleviating the body. Slick. Gives a not-quite-finished impression, despite the high carbonation. OK. Thanks to Stef!

Bottle picked up from Bier Paradjis, Maarssen nr Utrecht, Netherlands and consumed at home Wednesday 19th January 2022 listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music and cooking Cordon Bleu Schnitzel with Rosemary Potatoes, also making an Italian Tomato Sauce and Pork and Beef Polpettes, homemade Coleslaw and Delia's Spicy Red Cabbage recipe (we're super busy). Pours gold, light gold with a light haze and a white head. Dry with a slight tart edge, honey is if anything subtle. There is a little furry rub across the roof of the mouth, not at all sweet, gets better. It's a decent.

Can from Delhaize in Dok Noord. Pours hazy yellow with a lasting, thin, frothy, white head. Aroma of honey, soap, ripe apricot, pepper, grass, perfume, banana peel, white bread. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of apricot, pear, apple, vague banana, quite some bready & honey-like malts dominating a wheaty sour undercurrent, as well as bitter notes of pepper & grass with a whiff of perfume in the back. Dry, grassy hoppy finish, lingering honey, bread, apricot & spices. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Very pleasant surprise, delicately balanced.

11/08/2018 - 33cl can shared by tderoeck and his wife @their place. Clear golden, no head, small rim. Nose is malts, honey, floral. Taste is malts, bit sweetness, fruity, floral, bit honey, touch of funk maybe, bit bitterness. Nice and interesting.

VBDCK's new summer beer, essentially their Saison flavoured with honey and - apparently in order to appeal to the Dutch market they are trying to conquer - atypically not filled in the eccentric VBDCK bottles, but in cans, still unusual for artisanal beers in Belgium. Can straight from the brewery. Tightly papery lacing, medium thick, egg-white head showing some disparate gaps in the middle but retaining well, over a misty, bit beige-tinged peach blonde beer. Aroma of ripe mandarin, starfruit, pear, aromatic acacia honey, ripe pineapple, freshly cut red apple, unripe green melon, bread crumbs, sparsely sprinkled lemon zest, freshly baked ginger cookies, fresh camomile, cornbread, vague turnip earthiness faraway in the background. Crisp, quite bright onset, refreshingly fruity with impressions of green banana, starfruit, unripe pear and quite pronounced red apple, sweetish but not sweet and with a fresh sourish accent to it, lively carbonated without being numbing; supple, lean body, restrainedly bready, juicy, with minerally side notes (as in mineral water) as well as this sourish touch weirdly persisting, though remaining refreshing. The honey adds little sweetness (none expected anyway, as it ferments out completely and only 3% has been added here) but evokes a retronasal aroma of fresh camomile, sweetclover and acacia blossoms - even orange blossom to a certain extent. Ends as crisp and refreshing as it began, with a late yet effective, floral and eventually mildly spicy hop bitterness, which becomes notable more outspoken after swallowing and eventually dries the finish adequately - the intention to present a light-footed, elegant and highly quenching summer beer has been very well achieved. Different, nice and subtle, this may well be this rather unusual brewery's best beer so far; I already held their saison in relatively high esteem at least compared with their other beers, as simple, utterly classic and straightforward as it may be, but the honey really lightens that beer's basic features with more subtlety and elegance, adding a fragile delicacy to it. Very enjoyable in this time of the year. Cheers Charlotte!
