Beer made for the remote village of Prosperpolder, a part of my own village actually, developed by De Cock in Sint-Pauwels. Bottle from Dranken De Moor. Lacing, egg-white, moussy, medium thick head, initially clear peach blonde robe with pale orangey hue, hazy and deeper orangey with sediment. Aroma of raspberry jam, canned apricot, pineapple, chewing gum, ginger powder, nougat, honey, cold camomile tea, pancakes, almond, some vague onsetting chicken broth-like oxidation. Sweet onset, residual ’white’ sugariness, lots of bubblebummy banana but paired with more elegant canned peach and dito pineapple sweetness and balanced by an underlying accent of sourish gooseberry, spritzy carbonation adding minerally accents. Smooth, slick body; cereally maltiness with thin bready edges and lingering honeyish sugariness on top, leading to a mildly spicy finish with a dash of short-lived peppery and grassy hops, but it is that honeyish and malty sweetness which keeps dominating, alongside the remainders of the banana ester. Quite straightforward, simple Belgian blonde, sweet enough to please the great masses - ironically since Prosperpolder is so desolate that I cannot possibly imagine large masses of people visiting it. Not an alias of Sinpalsken Blond apparently, but certainly a less strong, equally sweet and simple form of it. Decent enough from a technical viewpoint (no DMS or any other off-flavours in sight), but conceptually boring as expected.
