On tap at Taplokaal Gist, Utrecht. Brown with beige head. Malty, honey, sweetish, herbal. Weird. Bitter finish.

Kinda tastes like cough syrup ...

Bouteille 33cl, BB 03/2021.
On continue sur la lancée des bières anti-gaspi après la lancée par BBP.
Ici une couleur cuivre, col crémeux blanc-cassé assez tenace;
Arôme présente un bouquet fruité qui vire un peu sur le fruité sec d'abricot et un côté rappelant la datte. Ensuite, les grains percent avec un rétro céréales qui tranche bien avec l'apport malté. Retrouve des effluves de grillé - toasté, caramel sur une pointe d'amertume et un complément miel bien placé.
Palais est plutôt dans une approche belge classique - qui change un peu de ce que je trouvais avant chez DDVDK.
Caractère marqué de grains - pils, cara pâle, amertume plutôt en avant sur du noble - pointe citronnée, terreuse offrant une fin de bouche sèche. Fini sur un léger apport de grains-céréales assez plaisant.L'ajout de miel confère un côté organique allant un peu vers un bonbon au miel et vient en support au caractère plus monodimensionnel du pain. Le tout aurait peut-être mieux fonctionné avec un style blond.

Bottle from Etre Gourmet webshop, Belgium. Had this Saturday 2nd May 2020 listening to Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on 6Music and cooking a Cannelloni and also earlier a Moussaka. Pours hazy amber with an off white head. Soft carbonation, yeast, bread, sweet and also tangy, a little spicy also. Fruity with a touch of honey and a dry finish. Good stuff.

Blonde ale brewed with 'lost' bread (so old bread that would otherwise have been thrown away) and honey, released at Borefts 2019 apparently but still continued. Thick and frothy, egg-white, very mousy, paper-lacing, densely knit and stable head resting atop a misty peach blonde beer with warm amberish hue, the mist being perturbed by powerful swirls of visible sparkling. Aroma of indeed old bread, dried apricots, damp straw, a whiff of honey, fried carrots, orange juice, toasted red bell pepper, pumpkin soup, pineapple, sugared rhubarb stew, roses, dried mint leaves, banana peel, old cake, cloves, cherry tomato, fresh yarrow flowers, background hints of chicken stock cubes, old jute bags and iron. Crisp, fruity onset, hints of apricot, persimmon, green pear and some vague banana somewhere, sweetish (though subduedly so) with a sourish edge, accentuated by lively, yet not harshly 'stunning' carbonation; supple, lean body, tad oily but also a little bit metallic. Sweetish-bready, bit old crumbled cake-like maltiness with a caramelly touch as well as a layer of residual, indeed honeyish sweetness on top, though not to the point where it becomes boring or obnoxious; the finish adds herbal spicy hoppy notes and floral accents, even if actual hop bitterness only appears in the very end, and lasts only medium long, while this honey cake-like aspect lingers on. So does that slight metallic accent, but generally speaking, it is a soft, sweetish bready maltiness adorned with spicy and floral notes that prevails - with some of these notes coming from the hops, while others are clearly remnants of the fermented honey; quite a lot of sweetness remains in the finish, with even an orange-like aspect to it, but not necessarily more so than is averagely the case in Belgian blonde. Well, I guess the bread used as part of the fermentables here indeed wasn't entirely lost and I have nothing against the idea of recycling old bread in beer (Russian kvass has -) in a totally different way - been doing that for centuries), but I would not have opted for honey as an extra element, as its aromas - the sugars itself having been completely fermented out by now - only add to this sweet, flowery and spicy character that this beer probably already had by itself. This one will certainly not become a pain quotidien for me, and even if it is flavourful and enjoyable enough, I think the Dochter should focus on stronger, more characterful brews instead of lightweights like this, because that is what they still do best. Judging this as a traditional style Belgian honey beer: quite alright, apart from that metallic aspect that did kind of disturb me every now and then; judging it as a Dochter van de Korenaar beer: not too impressed, I'm afraid.

Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival 2019, day 1. Clear darker golden color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, light bitter hints, hayish / straw. Don't get much more. What style is this? Is there rye in there? Hmm. Decent beer though.

Flaska från Etre Gourmete. Bärnstensfärgad aningen disig vätska med lågt krämigt vitt skum. Söt blommig doft, viol, kaprifol, nektar och honung, kryddor. Söt smak som doften som balanseras av en tydlig lätt alkoholkryddig beska. Känns större än sina 6% abv. Lite som en söt trippel. Annorlunda men den lyckas hålla ihop smakerna bra. Gott

Draught No head to speak of, faintly veiled copper-orange beer. Served a tad too cold to my linking. Nose of old, oxydized malts, old cookies, other grains/seeds. Herbal/spicy bitterness. Again other grains, dried orangepeel. Artichoke, wormwood, witloof. Hint of toasted, sweeter malts backthroat, getting more outspoken warming up. Despite dead looks, feels somehow carbonated. Dry feel, slick, medium bodied. Tad weird, although pretty much in style with Ronald's latest creations. Beer that had to grow on me. OTOH, 'pain perdu' - eggs, milk, sugar... would have suggested something way more sweet, no?
