Peach blonde ale tasted when the brewery was still Duysters. Unfortunately the sample I had, was an old one: no more head worth mentioning and strong maderisation. The honeyish and spicy basic character was still obvious enough - and in fact it had aged graciously. Now time to re-rate this as a young beer...

Standard Belgian blond beer. Bit more floral and sweet than others. Nothing special.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Willems. BBF 05/2015. This brewery is really everything that one could wish from a very small Belgian brewery. Solid, outstanding beer, something to set them apart, good price, excellent quality, standard offerings plus one or two specials, … whereas most breweries of their size put out infected, crummy beers which are dull and unimaginative at best. Bright opaque orange with little fungus looking white head. Smell is overripe oranges, esters, hay, sweet BE yeast, light caramel, mandarins, touch spices, bitter old yeast type stuff,… Taste is sweet caramel, thick BE yeast, plaster, slightly fruity, light bitter spices, touch esters, zest light pepper,… Malty body, med. slightly lively carb. This one is far from unique but it has no flaws, solidly executed, very drinkable,… This is really nice considering just how bad a lot of the beers from breweries of similar production sizes are.
