Bottle at Bier Palais Brugge. Hazy amber colour lasting rocky white head. Hoppy blond beer. Some strength apparent. Some Belgian esters. Decent. I liked it. Some bursting hop on the tongue. I thought decent.

Thanks H for sharing with O and me! Murky dark orange body, thick white head. Heavy alcohol in the aroma, with some soft fruity, estery notes underneath, nice. Soft taste, light tangerine, some light yeastiness, bit herbal near the finish. Nothing more to it, but it's pleasant and well balanced.

Beer tasting & B2B event hosted by Belgian Embassy in Croatia, thanks for the invite. Thanks to the kind people from Padel for the tasting samples. Unclear golden, medium head. Lightly phenolic, light ripe apple aroma, some alcohol, light grainy background. Light, not too bitter, less character in the flavour than in the aroma. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderate finish.

Blonde beer by yet another self-proclaimed 'bierfirma' actually having their beer (only this one so far) brewed at De Feniks - I would not have acknowledged this company as an independent brewery entry here, but anyway. Refers to padel, a sport that - from what I have been told - holds the middle between tennis and squash, and has become remarkably popular in Belgium lately for some obscure reason. Thick, dense and foamy, egg-white, membrane-lacing head on a misty apricot blonde beer with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma initially dominated by sparkling water-like carbon dioxide, quickly making room for banana peel, oxidized old apple peel, peach, soggy sandwiches, coriander seed, parsnip, clove, dried orange zest, grass, chamomile. Estery fruitiness of banana (not 'bubblegummy' though), peach and pear, very sharp and lively carbonation, adding a sourish streak to an otherwise sweetish profile; soft and fluffy bread-pulpy maltiness with a very light toasty bread crust edge, phenolic spiciness on top combined with 'real' spiciness of coriander and curaçao but both remaining relatively restrained. Breadiness prevails, along with a very soft floral bitterness which nevertheless lasts for a while. Witbier-like in its spicing but more subtle (and not containing any wheat) - not unique among Belgian blondes by far, but still I think a bit more generosity in this spicing would have lifted up the flavours a bit. In this form: nothing wrong with it, but rather simple, bland and forgettable, to be honest. I guess this beer serves its purpose refreshing people after an exhausting game of padel - I'll never know.
