Bottle from a gift. Hazy golden, thinning, white head. Aroma of apricot, banana peel, old yellow apple, pear, clove, herbs, wheat. Taste has sweet fruitiness (apricot, apple, pear) mixing with spicy phenols, bitter pepper and sour wheat, the latter unbalancing the whole as if infected. Herbal hoppy finish, wheaty, dry spicy & quite yeasty, bittering and even somewhat metallic in the end. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Straightforward Belgian Ale but even then, shabbily executed.

Clear orange to blond beer, small creamy off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very yeasty, lots of banana, sweet, band-aid, almonds, bit chemical. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very yeasty, sweet touch, very chemical. Aftertaste: bit spicy, chemical bitterness, dry, quite some coriander, bit sourish, infected? Not impressed.

New regional beer (’streekbier’) conceived by a restaurant owner and now hobby brewer in Lokeren and locally promoted in pubs and bottle shops; this bottle comes from Van Eetvelde (an established name there), selling it in both 33 cl and 75 cl bottles. Label says "mild tripel" but at 5.6%, this is obviously a blonde rather than a tripel; allegedly made with four malt types, six hop varieties and spices. Quite fierce gusher! Medium sized, off-white, bubbly head quickly reduced to a moussy rim around the edge and some thin ’islands’ in the middle, atop a deeply peach blonde beer with vaguely greenish hue, immediately clouded - usually not a good sign. Very weird, vegetable-ish and, frankly, not all too inviting aroma of moldy lemons (suggesting ’new’ hops but in their least elegant way), non-pickled gherkins on the brink of rotting, spoiled vegetable soup, celery, garden weed juice, rainwater, medicinal phenols (effervescent tablet!), banana ester, orange peel, potato starch, dough, hard unripe nectarine, damp earth, pear peel. Estery onset, medium carbonated, hints of sweetish banana and peach surrounded by cucumber- and almost green tomato-like sourishness, minerally side notes, lean body. Slick grainy middle with softer bready edges, the breadiness being reinforced by a strong, almost ’powdery’ and starchy dosis of yeast in the end, where an earthy, leafy hop bitterness is added (yet still producing some citrusy aromas retronasally - before being ruined by too many phenols) - as well as the obligatory dash of soapy coriander, effectively leaving behind a soapy flavor. The initial, weird but fortunately not overly sharp sourishness continues throughout all this, and, combined with the quite strong gushing effect, seems to suggest infection. A rather ill-fated beer if you ask me: not a very original concept to begin with, to say the least (I think Belgium needs a lot less traditional blondes and a lot more ’new’ session beers like ISA - but I digress), coming across as amateurish, as if someone made this hastily in his kitchen and deemed ’being local’ more important than actually brewing a beer with any other functionality than quenching the thirst - or getting drunk; I have to admit, though, that some or other New World hop seems to have been used here, albeit in probably the least flattering way possible. To make things worse, this bottle is mildly infected - and incorrectly ’refermented'. Since this was a bottle from the first batch, I can only assume it was brewed at Kroontje (assume, because sadly the label only mentions the commissioner and not the actual brewery) so let's hope its apparent new home Danny has made it better meanwhile...

Draft @ Fonnefeesten. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Fruity ale, easy drinkable. Full body, and only 5.5%. Not bad!
