Can from Delhaize, Dok Noord. Pours clear ochre with a quickly thinning, frothy, white head. Aroma of mango, pineapple, white bread, green banana, wheat, apple juice, vague green cabbage (some DMS for me as well here). Taste is medium fruity sweet, restrained mango & pineapple, faint estery banana on bready & grainy maltiness with sourish wheat & lime underneath, a tad peppery bitter. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish, lingering grain, bread, mango & pineapple. Medium body, slick-oily texture, soft carbonation. Quenching with the promised aromas delivering - albeit subtly.

23/V/19 - 33cl can from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte) @ UGent Happy Hour, BB: n/a - (2019-774)
Slightly cloudy blond beer, big fizzy irregular white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, all grains, hay, some cow fodder, bit of caramel, little grassy. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: malty start, bit sweet, some caramel, grains, cow fodder, pretty linear and straightforward. Aftertaste: slightly bitter, sweet malts, grains, boring and one dimensional beer.

The newest Kerel, a pale lager flavored with a dash of mango purée (but since I found no flavored pale lager category in this new beer style system, Pilsener seemed the most appropriate categorisation); canned and only available for the summer. From a sixpack bought at the brewery, cheers Charlotte! Off-white, loosely mousy, bit thinnish and open, eventually dissolving head, leaving some thin and disparate patches in the middle; hazy straw blonde robe with pale apricot tinge. Aroma of dried out white bread, dusty old birdseed, unripe green banana, indeed a whiff of background mango but very subtle, rainwater, jute bags, dried camomile and other field herbs, light green apple, hint of sulfuric DMS (cooked white cabbage), cold French fries, melting margarine. Crisp onset, lively carbonation with a minerally effect but refreshing rather than harshly stinging, sweetish cereally and white-bready, almost wheaty maltiness with a very light sweet-and-sourish 'colour' to it that clearly comes from the mango purée, even if actual mango flavour remains hidden; supple, rounded body, rainwater-like touch in the end just as a delicately floral, very subtly zesty hop note comes in, bringing some light bitterness to the finish. Pale malt sweetishness, in a bready, almost powdery or bread crumb-like way, remains the dominant factor though, with a crisp, fruity sourish accent from the mango accompanying the tail. Interesting little lager, easily drinkable, with it being unfiltered adding some fullness and breadiness that feels very pleasant in the mouth; too bad for the DMS note, I guess this has everything to do with the addition of the mango purée, but on the plus side, this - for a lager - exotic ingredient does add a lightness, playfulness and summeriness that I can certainly appreciate. Feels modern, 'young' and hip, with a very refreshing character - and I came to understand that this was the intention, so mission accomplished.
