Pretty neutral. Not much to it, lacking much spelt or anything exciting. Maybe the touch of smoke on a blonde beer makes it worth trying again. Tasting at craft & draft Amsterdam (3.4 july 2021) Again from bierkonig. 3.3

Spelt beer brewed at Poesiat & Kater in Amsterdam for Peter van den Arend’s Morebeer, in collaboration with a company specialized in grains (called Zonnespelt). Thanks to Craftmember for sharing the can. Snow white, mousy, membrane-lacing, opening head, clear ‘metallic’ orangey ‘old gold’ colour. Aroma of spoiled chervil soup or indeed withered chervil leaves, fried bell peppers, old moldy chicken grains, old bread, manure even, iron – generally not very pleasant, clearly… Cleanly fruity onset, green banana and unripe pear, fizzy carb, slick mouthfeel, dryish grainy and bread-crusty malt body with a wheat-like soapiness to it which probably comes from the spelt; ends with mildly grassy and floral hop bitterness, accompanied by minerally and metallic aspects. Tastes better than it smells, which in this case is a good thing, as something clearly went wrong here – though I am unable to put my finger on it. Needs revisiting but in any case, the way it reached me, it was well below the average quality standard I am used to from Morebeer…

(Draught at 'Cause Beer Loves Food, Amsterdam, 30 Aug 2019) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with orange, grain and mixed fruit. Malty, fruity taste with notes of peaches, apricots, citrus, soft malt and a mild citric bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.
