0.33 l bottle from ’De Bierhoeder’ as ’De Vlijt De Giro in Nederland’, best before May 2017, in celebration of Marcel Kittel’s second stage win in Arnhem. Clear, luscious red (not pink) with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, pinkish head. Sweetish, grainy and slightly spicy aroma of sweet malts, grains, old bread and some butter. Sweetish, very grainy and slightly spicy taste of caramel, sweet malts, grains, straw and some butter or popcorn, followed by a short, slightly bitter and a little spicy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Not sure about the origins of the colour, but it doesn’t have any influence tastewise apparently. Nothing you should celebrate anything with.

33cl Bottle from Deen, thanks Joost! Hazy golden amber colour, white head. Aroma of toast, hint of caramel, light floral sweetness, some yellow fruit. Flavour is medium sweet, floral, light citrus, yellow fruit, toast, nuts, bitter finish. Light bodied. Decent.

Bottle from a Deen supermarket in Lelystad. Lightly lacing, irregularly shaped, cream white, moussy head over a misty deep peach blonde beer with brownish-amberish hue. Aroma of dried orange peel, cloves, white pepper, curry spices, papaja, cardboard, earthy turnip or beetroot, old cookies, dusty dried flowers, red apple, unripe peach, nutmeg, hay, mouldy lemon, bitter honey. Soft fruity onset of unripe peach, redcurrant and red apple, medium carbo, dryish and softly sourish from the start with just a tad of sweetishness, bit ’dusty’ feeling which increases a bit towards the finish, spicy phenols accompanying the whole palate over a backbone of bready, very lightly toasted malts; finish is yeasty and phenolic as well as drying hoppy in a very earthy, leafy, dried spice kind of way, with floral and light citrus peel like aromatic aspects. The yeastiness, visibly apparent from the start, adds to the earthy impression but it does not become thoroughly ’dirty’. Quaffable, but not really impressive in any aspect, just another Belgian style blonde.

33 cl bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a small tan head. Aroma is toasted malty and breadish. Toasted and slight fruity. Bitter and toasted finish.
