Bottle from Geers. Hazy ochre, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of milk going sour, old orange, oxidized apple, wheat, jute, potato, cheese. Taste has sweetish apple, pear & orange in an oxidized way, over a honeyish malt base with sourish citrus, wheat and flax (presumably). Floral hoppy finish, yeasty, bit peppery, mostly oxidized fruit. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Quite bland all in all though I must admit I probably kept it for too long.

Blond colour, white foam. Malty sweet with citrussy notes. Medium bitter hoppy finish. Well balanced. Not bad.

Occasional beer created for the Ros Beiaardommegang in Dendermonde, a unique folkloristic event held there every ten years to commemorate a medieval legend; the event was to be held in spring 2020, but cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic and postponed to 2021. From a 75 cl bottle with cork bought at Geers near Ghent. Egg-white, cobweb-lacing, medium thick, stable head on an initially clear, deep metallic 'old gold' coloured beer with orangey tinge, turning a deeper, misty peach blonde with sediment. Aroma of banana, coriander seed, sugar loaf, bubblegum, honey, fresh rosemary, grass, hints of rubber, iron and old potatoes. Sweetish onset (but not exaggeratedly so) with slight sourish edge, hints of banana, apple peel and green pear (acetaldehyde), medium carbonated; the banana ester effectuates a lingering, strong bubblegummy effect through a supple, bit glueish and slightly metallic body composed of a white-bready, cereally pale maltiness, leading to a floral hop bitterish finish, lingering a bit along wiht that banana-bubblegum complex and a dash of coriander seed soapiness. The added flax - as expected - hardly adds anything except for, perhaps, a touch of 'glueishness' (I know of only one other beer containing it - Brew Mutation Omega by Brouwersatelier - and that one had the same effect); it could just as well have been left out, because it cannot alter the fact that this is another simplistic, stereotypical, 'easy' Belgian blonde like there are so many around in this country already. Correct, for sure, but boring.
