Bottle @ home. After pouring in the last of the bottle the beer is murky yellow color, full sized rough white head. Smell and taste malts, yeasty, yeasty sweetish, but also a light bitter note in the end. Average body and carbonation. Ok beer.

Local Belgian blonde from the larger Antwerp region, steini bottle from Wijnegemse Drankenhal. The name refers to a regional legend about some mythical water monster - which is why the image of a chained brown bear on the front label seems completely irrelevant, but anyway. Slow gusher but manageable. Very thick and frothy, egg-white, dense head leaving behind a rim of tight membrane lacing, opening only very slowly, over an immediately misty, ochre-tinged straw blonde beer, turning more vaguely orange-ish murky ochre with sediment. Aroma of strong bubblegummy banana ester, old orange juice, dry coriander seed, ripe pear, raw rhubarb, sourdough, powder sugar, canned pineapple slices, red apple peel, ginger, camomile tea, sugarloaf, raw potatoes, hand soap, unripe green melon, cloves, cooked parsnip, vague accents of white cardamom, sweetclover and faintly liquorice-like sweet cicely - probably poor remnants of the C-hops allegedly used in this beer. Fruity, estery onset, lots of banana ester with hints of pear, pineapple and sweet red apple, quite pronounced ’green apple acetaldehyde’, in all mainly sweet but with a dull sourish undertone, heavily overcarbonated, very fizzy and minerally, accentuating this sourishness underneath and numbing the tongue, distracting from the actual taste. Softly bready malt ’bedding’ adorned with continuing banana ester, residual and honeyish ’refined’ sugariness, upcoming clove-like phenols and persisting, fizzy and numbing overcarbonation, leading to an only very limitedly dryish finish with floral and very mildly spicy, bit earthy and only very limitedly citrussy hop bitterishness and clear soapy ’corianderness’. It is, however, the simple bready malt sweetness, the unfermented sugary sweetness and the banana ester that keep reigning till the very last drop, with an even breadier yeast flavour added after the sediment has gone into the glass; a very vague ’jenever’-ish alcohol presence can be felt but remains in place. Yet another boring, bland, overcarbonated, coriandered, very bubblegummy and overly sweet Belgian blonde, made ’easy’ for the broad masses I suppose, but adding nothing to an already oversaturated landscape - oversaturated to the point where it blocks the connection Belgium urgently needs to make with international ale trends, even though the label claims that C-hops have been used - but if this is the case, I’d highly recommend using them for dry-hopping, though even this approach would probably not be able to save this beer from drowning in another large, albeit smaller pool of ’Belgian IPAs’. In this form, however, this is just another Belgian blond not knowing how to handle the international trends - note that C-hops meanwhile have been in existence for decades and here, they seem to have been applied in the same way as a classic Belgian brewer would use old European noble hops, which is clearly a sign of not understanding what is happening above our heads on a global level. Beers like this make me a little bit sad, technically correct as it might be.

17/VI/17 - 33cl bottle from Zythos Bierfestival 2017 (Leuven) @ home - BB: IX/2018 (2017-926)
Clear blond to orange beer, big solid creamy white had, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: yeasty, bit metallic, fruity. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: some citrus, orange peel, bit yeasty, fruity notes, peaches, bit sweet, bitter. Aftertaste: some citrus, bitter, fruity, yeast, banana peel, bit metallic, soapy touch, sweet, coriander, more yeast. Not a big fan.
