The first beer by a new microbrewery in Spa, claiming to manage the entire production including bottling themselves. Tasted from tap at Beerlovers' Café & Shop in Liège. Very densely creamy head, clearly nitro-tapped, egg-white, very thick and regular, creamily lacing and very stable, over hazy 'old gold' robe with vaguely olive greenish tinge. Aroma of wet old bread, hay, strong curdled milk-like diacetyl, margarine, green banana, chewing gum, red apple, unripe peach, straw, plastic. Fruity onset, very strong isoamylacetate (banana-flavoured bubblegum), notes of pear and apricot but hindered by very sharp, painfully numbing overcarbonation, very minerally; slick, creamy mouthfeel, remarkably buttery also due to a strong dosage of diacetyl, rounded cold pasta-like malt sweetishness, some floral and mildly spicy hoppiness in the finish, lingering a bit. Light phenolic effects but otherwise remaining rather clean and straightforward, with the diacetyl remaining a bit of an obstacle. Quenching blonde the way it was apparently intended, but not free of flaws, with diacetyl as the most important culprit; probably too young, should revisit this from a bottle I suppose.
