Belgian blonde developed by a hobby brewer in Beveren-Waas and commercialized through Anders. Though the ABV is slightly above average, this is intended as a ’doordrinkbier’ (thirst quencher, so to speak) - the reason I classified it as a Belgian ale rather than a Belgian strong ale. Medium thick, moussy, off-white head retaining well on the edges and leaving thin ’islands’ of foam in the middle; colour is a lightly hazy, warm yellowish ’old gold’ with vivid fizz, completely cloudy with deposit. Very Belgian aroma in every sense, with hints of lemon blossom or lime peel and chamomille (the first probably representing the Centennial and the latter more in line with the Northern Brewer), strong green apple, banana, bubblegum, canned pineapple, wet bread, kiwi, melting powder sugar, hints of honey, dried ginger, white pepper. Estery but still quite crisp and refreshing onset, very fruity with hints of yellow plum, unripe peach and green apple, some citrus peel hints, fairly strong carbo, grainy and lightly bready middle phase with soft, slightly oily body, ending in a mild, earthy, leafy, herbal hop bitterness with floral aromatic qualities retronasally, but (too) little of the citrusy notes one would expect from Centennial come through. Malt sweetness lingers and there is a very subtle trace of alcohol warmth as well. The Northern Brewer has been adequately used here, that much is clear, but I wish it had more of the Centennial qualities too; in general, this is an average Belgian blonde, a bit too strong to be advertized as a ’doordrinker’ perhaps, with the unmistakable isoamylacetate nose. Technically very much okay though, not too many off-flavours, just needs more personality (also in the label, which is, frankly, easily overlooked in a beer shop teeming with dozens of other colourful Belgian labels...). Honorable attempt, though.
