Bottle from Willems, with attractive, glossy label (like a ladies’ glossy magazine, I hesitate to add). This is ’beer sommelier’ Sofie Vanrafelghem’s new beer, pouring a misty peach blonde, very ’milky’ and cloudy with deposit, with a great deal of protein flakes at the bottom, under a medium thick and moussy, but eventually opening and disappearing, egg-white head. Aroma of persimmon, rotting pear, sourdough, banana, rosewater, raspberries, scrambled eggs, sewer water (H2S), overripe peach, buttermilk, FFF (freshly fermented farmland), coriander but not too much, burnt rubber, milk and chicken soup gone sour, wet paper, overripe peach and rotting grass. Estery taste, sweetish, peach, pineapple, hints of banana and overripe starfruit with a ’basic’ sourish accent to it probably hauling from mild infection, soft and smooth mouthfeel, bit powdery with soft carbo and somewhat ’glueish’ as well, probably established by subtle use of coriander seed; slick bready malt sweetishness buried under a massive amount of yeastiness, spicy and drying a bit, working its way to a rather disappointing finish of lingering malt sweetness, big yeastiness, sourishly drying but subtly so, low hop bitterness in spite of the label promising Cascade and others; the coriander seed ’resin’ also lingers. Alcohol is also slightly noticeable, which should not be the case in a beer of slightly-above-medium strength. Honeyish, or perhaps even aspartame-like sweetness remains as well, as my esteemed colleague below already observed. Weird, unbalanced and clearly flawed in looks and aroma - something has gone wrong here. If they can solve these technical errors, I guess this may, at best, become a quaffable Belgian blonde, but reaching even this level of mediocrity is apparently a bit too much for now. Sorry Sofie, as much as I appreciate what you are doing and as much as I would like to see educated young women appreciating beer more than they usually do now, this is clearly a failure which should have been corrected before being launched onto the market. Being a feminist, I am confident women can do a lot better than this when it comes to brewing beer...

Pours clear yellow, untill the yeast kicks in and makes it look like orange juice... with a small white head... Smell is very weak. I get hints of malts, as a reward for an intense search. Taste is bit grainy, in a fun way. It really has a bite to it, a bit like popcorn. To the sweet side, but not too much. Mild bitter touch. Buttery aspect ( of which Im not sure it should be in there ) . All and all, not a bad beer. But Im not amazed.

330ml Bottle - Amber in colour. Hops, perfumed soap and sultanas in the aroma. Floral and moderately hoppy taste with notes of peach, syrup and apricot.

12/IV/15 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: II/2017 (2015-433)
Clear orange beer, creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: citrus, bit metallic, some exotic fruits, pineapple. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sweet malty start, bit sugary, some citrus, peach candy. Aftertaste: sweet, sugary, some citrus, grassy, some hay, sweet malts. I got a feeling that they made the new version WAY less bitter than the previous versions. Maybe it was too bitter for most of the ladies during the woman only tastings? Too bad. This one's way to sweet for my liking.
