Bottle from De Moor near Beveren. Seemingly a Belgian blonde honouring the tradition of pigeon keeping, which I quite fondly remember from my childhood, but is now dying a very slow death. Extremely aggressive gusher: even when removing the crown cap millimeter by millimeter, there was no way to avoid losing 1/3 of the bottle to the sink - a dreadful experience so we’re off to a bad start here. Medium thick, off-white head quickly settling into a steady moussy rim and thin patches of ’foam’ in the middle, residing over an immediately misty, straw blonde beer with khaki greenish tinge and a couple of darker protein bits near the bottom. Weird and clearly infected, yet in all not too unattractive aroma of fermenting pears, hand soap, feta, even old Parmigiano, fresh white mushrooms, green olive, rhubarb pie, cooked sweet potato, banana, cooked pasta going a bit spoiled, pineapple, honey, apple sauce without the sugar, spritzy minerals, ripe yellow plum, artisanal yoghurt, unripe gooseberry, sourdough, camomile, hint of glue. Very spritzy onset, clearly overcarbonated even for a plain ’Belgian blonde’, minerally, sweetish pineapple and banana core instantly threatened by a surrounding, green gooseberry-like sourishness enhanced by both the overcarbonation and the infection; something ’dirty’ linked to bacterial infection moves along but remains more or less at bay if seen from the general picture. The overcarbonation numbs an otherwise smooth, if not slick, medium light mouthfeel and a dosis of cereally but also ’white’ bready malt sweetness does admittedly provide a firm and sufficiently ’active’ backbone against this array of wild esters and other undesirable infection effects. The infection keeps on effectuating a needlessly souring factor till the very end, where some floral, deeply ’earthy’ hop bitterness checks in - though not powerfully enough to stop this ongoing stream of bready malt sweetness heavily topped by esters and residual sugars. Adding the sediment expectedly only adds a starchy, almost papery feeling at the back - in the end - and accentuates the souring effects established by the bacteria. Ends juicy with this doubtlessly unintended sourish ’twang’ but it’s the sweet maltiness that remains firmly in place; hops play only a supporting role here. I can more or less drink this, all things considered, but this beer is clearly ’ill’ and needs treatment urgently; if it comes across as a bready, starchy, almost ’grapy’ sour ale, then I am absolutely certain that it was not intended as such. Infected for sure and probably too much yeast and / or sugar went in here so a kind of simple ’sour ale’ nolens volens because there is no doubt in my mind that this was supposed to be a simple Belgo-blonde; I sincerely hope the pigeon-loving commissioners got what they asked for. Drinkable by means of ’happy accident’, but extremely cliché if it weren’t infected - this must be among the very scarce times I’m actually understanding about an infection in a top-fermented beer, implying I’m giving this weirdo a better rating than I probably would have if I had consumed it young and ’pure’. Still: it’s your lucky day young Hubert, enjoy it.

21/XI/16 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared with Hilare @ pre-HoReCa-Expo-Tasting (home) - BB: 12/VIII/18 (2016-1340)
Little hazy deep blond beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: fruity, quite some grapefruit, citrus, bit sweet, malty, some almonds. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty hoppy start, some grapefruit, malty, some citrus, little sourish, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: bitter, grapefruit, bit yeasty, some sweet malts, soft bitterness. Not bad, actually! Pretty hoppy, for a Boelens beer! Judging from the previous ratings, I clearly had another batch. ;-)

Bottle @ home shared with Caesar. Hazy yellow color, average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, a light fruity hint, a hint of saison yeast. Average to decent body and carbonation. Meh.

Courtesey of Kraddel. 330 ml. sampled @ Rampkrot. Hazy orange with a bit creamy white head. Nose is huge moldy yeast, spoiled yoghurt, phenolic with big esters buried underneath the spoiled yoghurt & moldy yeast. Taste rotting, spoiled yoghurt, moldy basement, esters, old yeasty,… Thick moldy yeasty body,… Highly unpleasant for me.
