Bottle , pours rather clear blonde. Small white head. Intense smell of overripe fruits, extremely yeasty, and spices as well. Taste is very yeasty as well, with a side-note of bitterness. Notes of apples, as well as oranges. Very overcarbonated, and has a certain , sharp sweetness to it as well. Even though it’s not a fruitbeer, it certainly has a lot of fruity notes.

Blonde from a ’new’ Wallonian micro brewery, with stable but breaking, egg-white, moussy, regular head (caught despite a certain amount of gushing) and misty orange colour with brownish hue, dead yeast spread over the liquid and vivid sparkles. Aroma is clearly oxidized already (despite it still not having reached its ’best before’ date), the typical ’sweet rust’ smell unmistakable with anything else; apart from that, I get chicken soup, cold tea, aspartame (quite strongly even!), dried tomato, industrial apple juice, honey, faint banana, biscuit, rose petals, old cake, freshly ploughed earth, dried orange peel, overripe peach, lavender, canned pineapple slices - sweet alright, which is not always a bad thing, but there seems to be some artificial sweetener at work here too, which is something I cannot meet with a lot of enthusiasm. Taste is again (and expectedly) sweet in onset and very estery, lots of peach, pineapple and some banana, some orange peel freshness, quite strong carbo, even drying the tongue a bit but not really overcarbonated for the style, supple, relatively full mouthfeel, becoming increasingly dry towards the finish, with a bready and honeyish malt sweetness underlying; earthy hop bitterness is there, but subtly so, and a big amount of ’crude’ yeastiness takes over in the end. The honeyish malt sweetness persists along with the ’artificial’ sweetness (Stevia or aspartame or something?) and the oxidation effect makes its comeback retronasally. Yet another sweet and overly yeasty Belgian blonde - as there are dozens already in this country. Not thoroughly bad, but clearly this needs a lot more work in being ’cleaned up’, technically speaking; other than that, in terms of style that is, this does not add anything to Belgian beer culture either. I’d have this again if offered one (preferably fresh then - it is clear that this does not keep well, to say the least), but it does not really stimulate me to go out and find their other beers, I’m afraid. Not very enjoyable.
