APA in Goose Island’s Urban series, for sale at Albert Heijn supermarkets since a few weeks. Intensely warm orangey, cristal clear ’old gold’ colour without much sparkling, under a medium thick, moussy, egg-white, thickly lacing head consisting of minute bubbles. Aroma of dried orange peel, crabapple, white bread dough, some caramel, cooked potato (starch-like, even strongly so), sweet bell pepper, cereals, withering flowers, overripe papaja, wet cloth, rotting zucchini, radish, raw chicory, grass - in all, rather vegetable-like but not in the DMS way, a bit weird and not too inviting; hoppiness is there, but could have been fresher and more outspoken. Crisp, subduedly sweet onset, some fruity esters which I’d expect more from a Belgian blonde than from an APA, gooseberry, pineapple, touch of banana, minerally, with a lean, smooth, slightly oily and medium carbonated body; light malt body, a bit caramelly, a bit bready and a bit toasted; a slightly resiny, grassy, peppery hop bitterness appears in the end, drying and of medium length, but the toasted and light bready malt juiciness persists. Straightforward, simple quencher, enjoyable but still below average for its style, too estery and not hoppy enough, with a strange vegetable-like quality to it.

Pours a light yellow-gold without much head. Grassy aroma, with some wheat esters. Flavor is a bit muted, with grain in the forefront and some hop bitterness in the background. Kind of a ’meh beer.
