330ml bottle @ 4AD, Diksmuide watching Dries the one man blues band and Left Lane Cruiser. Pours a misty blonde, large white head. Nicely sweet with cereal malt rising through. Not bad.

Blonde ale commissioned by a touristically exploited farm in Keiem near Diksmuide; small quantities for local use are brewed 'in situ' but the commercial quantities are produced by Fort Lapin, so I will leave it to the admins whether this Uytkant project needs to be recognized as an actual new brewery with its own entry here or not. Steinie bottle from De Centrale in Diksmuide. Egg-white, mousy, quite regular, frothy, stable head, lightly hazy 'metallic' orange-hued peach blonde robe with swirling strings of sparkling rising up here and there, shifting to a misty deeper orange-peach with sediment. Aroma of dry cookies, 'honingwafels', soggy sandwiches, peach, wet iron pipes, freshly cut red apples, old dried roses, banana mush, cold French fries, white sugar, cut flowers, powder sugar, something very vaguely sulfuric (freshly struck match). Fruity onset but cleanly so, banana ester mixed with sweet apple, ripe pear and light peach notes, lively but not too 'agressive' carbonation, smooth, full, even somewhat glueish mouthfeel; clear residual sugariness leaves a honeyish layer of sweetness on top of a slick, cereally, dry cookie-like and very lightly caramelly malt body with clear metallic edges. This honeyish sweetness cloys a bit in the end, unobstructed by confident hoppiness: the hops remain a floral, faintly grassy background note, but fail to exert the bitterness this beer needs more than anything. Warming, somewhat brandy-ish alcohol is noticeable too, in this case accentuating the sweetness, but it should not be noticeable at all at a mere 7% ABV. Typical Fort Lapin affair: unrefined, designed for the larger oblivious masses and too sweet, lacking depth, nobility and character even for being intended as an accessible blonde (or tripel - let's say that the transition between both is situated at exactly this ABV). Characterless, uninspired, overly sweet and 'easy' crowd pleaser, not my cup of tea.
