Keg at Delirium, Brussels. It pours cloudy golden-orange with a decent, foamy white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, doughy, juicy, hay, creamy malts, muffin and light candy. The taste is smooth, bitter-sweet, dough, toasted grain, cereal, muffin, grassy bitterness, light fruitiness and some honey. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Well-balanced and rather drinkable. A solid Belgian ale.

Blonde session beer from a new Wallonian micro brewery; very thick and frothy, dense, off-white, irregular head captured after a strong form of gushing; hazy orange blonde colour, near to amber, with medium effervescence. Estery aroma of peach, banana, redcurrant, strawberry, caramel, mango, honey, fairly strong suggestions of liquorice, cloves, chicken broth and cured meat. Sweet onset, subdued fruitiness, somewhat sugary, resinous and smooth body, with the sticky resin effect increasing towards the finish; caramelly malts supporting an almost cloying, ’dull’ spiciness of cloves and liquorice (as mentioned above), strong and sharp carbo, protein-like taste components. Finish is a continuation of the same, with a hint of floral, ’shy’ hops; the initial sweetness keeps dominating, with no ’real’ bitterness to speak of, apart from the resinous, idiosyncratic spiciness (no spices are mentioned, but they are very clearly there). Not bad at all, but a bit more hop bitterness would probably make it better.
