Bottle from Spar, Ostend. Hazy yellow, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus zest, hand soap, bath foam, yellow apple, coriander, cereal. Taste has sweetish apple, pear & apricot, sourish wheat, rather soapy but not disturbing, bit spicy (coriander) against a bready, cracker-like malty backbone. Grassy hoppy finish, lingering unripe fruit, spices & minerally salt. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Decent enough 'blondje' with soapy & spicy notes without them being cumbersome.

One of the three core beers of this client brewer in Klemskerke near De Haan at the Belgian seaside, brewed with sea salt. Steinie bottle from butchery Du Coq in De Haan. Quite some pressure and a hissing sound during opening, but no gushing. Irregularly shaped, very frothy and pillowy, eggshell-white, intricately 'Brugse kant'-like lacing head on a misty deep yellow blonde beer with apricot hue and strings of sparkling here and there. Aroma of clear and near-fresh ginger root (why is this not mentioned in the ingredients list?), coriander seed, green pear, banana peel, white bread, unripe peach, clove, raw white cabbage and indeed a vague background note of wakame (fresh green seaweed) which I assume represents the sea salt. Crisp, fruity onset, sweetish but not sweet, green pear and apple notes mixed with halfripe banana and a touch of unripe apricot, fizzy and notably minerally carbonation; a very light salty touch appears at the sides, enhanced by the minerally effect of the carbon dioxide, but fades quickly as well. Clean pale malt profile, white-bready and cereally, rounded, spiced up with the ginger and coriander effects that are so apparent in the nose, very ethereal and spicy, initially overruling a floral hop bitter accent which nevertheless develops further on in the finish. All in all, your standard Belgian blonde with a spicy ginger touch, which draws a lot more attention than that pinch of sea salt that was apparently thrown in. Technically correctly brewed though, I can see myself drinking another one of these next time I'm having a relaxed moment at the shore in beautiful De Haan.

Bottle in De Bierboom, Brugge on 14th May 2018. Rudy, the proprietor of De Bierboom is actually one of the four Monks who brews 'De Vier Monniken' beers. This is a very pale golden brew, white crown on top. Light yeast and citrus leanings in both the nose and taste, a summer beer garden brew.
