Nous allons tout de suite écarter la question marketing et cette mention de Grand Hops millésimée de surcroît qui n'a absolument aucun sens. Cela passé, cette Corsendonk, somme toute très classique est relativement bien faite avec un bon caractère belge. Le visuel est sur un blond doré limpide parcourue par une fine effervescence et surmontée par une mousse blanche de 5 mm. Le nez est sur une alliance miel, céréales, girofle et coriandre. Classique, mais cela fonctionne bien. En bouche c'est plaisant avec un alcool relativement efficace pour son titrage (6,9 %). L'attaque est relativement fraiche, sur une intensité moyenne et reprenant les arômes déjà présents au nez. La deuxième bouche présente une légère acidité, cassant quelque peu l'alcool qui arrive tout de même à donner un bon petit caractère. L'arrière-bouche est relativement similaire avec un alcool un peu plus présent. Le final voit à la fois l'intensité et l'alcool baisser d'un cran. La longueur est toutefois bonne. Une bière qui passe bien.

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a hazy light golden colour with a large thick throthy white head. Aromas of floral, apples, pears, light banana, clove and coriander. Taste is very similar notes again with some added peppery spice. Nicely balanced. Medium bodied with a lively sparkly mouthfeel. Nice beer.

Bottle. Golden, blurred, excellent white foam. Hoppy aroma, grassy, floral, slightly citrus, slightly spicy, light light malt. Taste: sweet malt, light grassy hops, slightly citrus, fruity, soft, slightly spicy, light bitterness, not bad.

Misty gold, large rocky white head. Perfect retention. Nose: malts, pretty unique phenols, apricot esters, dill. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Taste: light sweet malts and esters, same phenols, hop delivering shades of dill and grass. Light to medium bitterness at ending. Quite interesting

19/I/20 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Julia’s 3rd birthday party, BB: 11/III/22 (2020-65)

Little cloudy orange blond beer, small creamy irregular off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots and lots of peaches, or maybe more like peach flavoured candy, som elychee, mango, citrus touch, wow! This is pretty unexpected, very nice! Way better than last year’s version! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet, fruity, peach flavoured candy, some lychees, ripe sweet tropical fruits. Aftertaste: more sweet and fruity notes, som peach flavoured candy, a bit too artificial in a way, malty, nice one for a Corsendonk, though!

Bottke from BIAB. It pours clear blonder with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, bready malts, sponge cake, grassy, kind of herbal, spicy and hay. The taste is firmly dry, good hit of bitter, grassy, pithy, lemon peel, lemongrass, floral, doughy bread, sponge cake, touch of alcohol, candied pear, melon and kick of spice spice with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Works well, moreish and quaffable.
