10th January 2015
Hazy paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry and little crisp. Light yeast/brett, trace of lemon. Touch of grainy malt underneath. Light semi dry finish. Inoffensive but not much going on here.

75 cl bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is phenolic and light fruity. Bitter, grassy and light herbal. Bitter and dry hoppy into the finish.

Spiced ale from four grains (barley, oats, corn and wheat) remembering the first World War. Pours a pretty deep golden blonde colour, clear with fierce sparkling but misty with deposit, under a medium thick, off-white head leaving some lacing. Aroma of wheaty sourishness, bread, corn (reminiscent of a standard pale lager), very aromatic and ethereal hints of gin, lime, fresh pineapple, sour cream, dried orange peel, subtle aniseed, coriander seed, soap, young cheese, freshly cut grass, peach and something phenolic. Taste crisp and fruity, sweet peaches and pineapple, crisp lemon peel, sharpish carbonation, minerals, refreshing wheaty sourishness, pale malt sweetness with a slight hint of caramel, corn noticeable, soft mouthfeel (oats?), increasing spiciness towards the finish but remaining subtle enough, vague hints of aniseed and coriander, but I get nothing from the thistle (but then, who knows what a blessed thistle is supposed to taste like?). Grassy and herbal hops give a mellow bitterness, some alcohol also comes up (more than expected from a beer of slightly above average ABV) and warms the throat a bit. In all: subtle thirst-quencher, nothing offensive here, but nothing extraodrinary either. Enjoyable and honest, in any case.

Van tap bij de brouwerij in Ieper. Bloemig, aardtonen, zoettonen, drogig, sinaasappel. (11-2014).

Bottle shared at the RBESG 2014, grand tasting 09/08/2014 Moncada Brewery. Aroma is caramel malts. Clouded yellow coloured pour with a halo of white head. Flavour is sticky sweet, honey malts. Palate is sweet, slightly chalky on the tongue.

330ml bottle from Chez Marie, Ieper. Pours hazy amber with large off-white head. Pleasant sweet, light vanilla aroma. Taste presents a nice, sweet blonde taste with some spice, yeast and floral moments. Bit over-carbonated but still quite nice.

75cl fles volgens mij kwam deze bij de Sligro vandaan, schenkt wazig geel met prikkelende witte kraag. aroma van graan, pilsmouten, citrus en koriander smaken komen zacht binnen, citrus, iets dun maar toch met gladde volle smaak, licht/zwak bitter, matig zoet en stevig gegist. afdronk iets droog, iets banaan met licht zepig mondgevoel

Draft at In De Wildeman. Pours hazy dark golden with an off white head. Aroma is heavy yeasty, dough, light candy, sweet fruit. Flavour is over moderator sweet and moderate bitter. Medium biodiesel with moderate carbobaion.
