Belgian honey beer the classic way, commissioned by a 'horeca' business in Zelzate. Bottle from De Hopduvel in Ghent. Medium thick, tightly paper-lacing, off-white, dense but gradually dissipating head over an initially clear, warm and 'metallic' orange-hued golden beer, turning misty and deeper peachy with sediment. Somewhat 'understated' aroma of soggy old bread crust, old potatoes, wet paprika powder, soda, dried apple peel, straw, some DMS, rain falling on hot stones, vague touches of hot ironed cloth and toasted grains. Cleanish onset, thin red apple and some apricot, restrained in sweetness, lively carbonated without becoming too harsh, but still with lots of minerally effects reminiscent of sparkling water; slick, slightly metallic, (too) smooth cerealliness in the middle, very light bread crust accent, floral finish with some rather leafy, grassy, lingering hop bitterness, very light phenolic accents and something resinous which probably reflects traces of the honey, yet completely fermented out without any sign of sweetness either in nose or mouth. Ends dry, bitter, very minerally (hot stones submerged in water again) and a tad 'cooked'. Easily drinkable and quenching because of its dry character, but lacking in the delicate flowery aromas I expect from a honey beer, instead exhibiting that dreadful DMS; a bit on the thin and metallic side as well. Broers is kind of a hit or miss brewery and this clearly isn't a big hit...
