Bottle 75cl from the brewery in July 2020, @home poured into a stem glass. Hazy to cloudy yellow golden colour, good moussy macropore white head, stays for a while, light lacing. Aroma sweet malt, grain, floral notes, thyme, other herbal notes. Taste medium sweet and bitter, very light sourish touch, at first fruity impression with pear and melon, later bready malts, grain, herbs. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation, in the sweetbitter aftertaste more bitterness, hint of citrus, herbal notes, spicy on the tongue, smooth and elegant, very easy to drink, good.

Thuis uit een 0,75 fles, gekregen van Huub (dank!), gedeeld met Rabo. Bleek van kleur, geel, weinig schuim. Licht zuur, maar ook een goede bitterheid, lekker doordrinkbaar!

75cl bottle shared with Ewan during a wild beer and natural wine tasting. Thanks MonsterMagnet for this! Pours a misty gold, short-lasting white froth atop. Aroma brings haybarn, wild meadow, natural flora, autumnal farmyard. Taste is much of the same, lacks a bright wild complexity, fairly mild overall with a soft floral character.

75cl fles, dank Marko! Goudgeel met oranje gloed, witte kraag. Aroma is enorm moutig, wort, zoet, tijm, duizendblad, smaak is behoorlijk kruidig en moutig zoet, als een standaard Belgisch Blondje eigenlijk. Geen zuurtje of funk gedetecteerd in dit bier. Jammer, was geen topper dit.

New Nevel ale, launched in April, their first one making use of ingredients that were all harvested in 'their' province of Gelderland, including the hay, yarrow and thyme (the latter probably cultivated, as actual wild thyme does occur on some heathlands in Gelderland, but only very rarely so). Thanks to Ama Deke for sharing this interesting scoop! Snow white, mousy, large-bubbled, lightly lacing head, hazy to eventually even 'milky' straw blonde robe. Aroma of mediterranean flowers so indeed thyme blossom but also reminiscent of fresh basil, clear yarrow too, pear, stewed rhubarb, white bread, green melon, 'tiger balm', wet hay, grass, parsnip. Fruity onset, pear, green melon and apple aspects, fizzily carbonated; sweetish (if only lightly so) but nowhere truly sour, contrary to what I was expecting. Light-footed bready maltiness, a bit grainy, with minerally carbonation effects continuing, leading to an elegantly 'summery' finish that indeed delivers a perfumey floweriness of thyme blossom, a more 'field flower'-like yarrow element and a rural hayish note that could just as well have come from hops - but connects the beer back to the average Nevel idiom I have gotten used to in the course of the past years (including their Katjelam 'prehistory'). The hops do come in for a final synthesis, though, adding a grassy bitterness which even becomes vaguely grapefruity in the end. Perfumey in a realistically 'flowery' way and in that sense outspoken, but generally speaking, this is a postmodern, genre-less summer quencher, highly elegant, almost 'feminine' in nature - and rather surprisingly so, since I was expecting an actual sour. I guess the 'wild' fermentation did not quite catch on here, but if the bottles contain the necessary fermenting agents, there is no doubt in my mind that within a month or so, it will taste quite differently from the sample I had... One to follow.

19/VII/20 - 75cl bottle @ home, batch #1, bottled: 28/IV/20, BB: +2Y (2020-657) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Pretty cloudy blond to light beige beer, small creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very herbal, grassy, some wasabi, nettles, bit soupy, slightly fruity, some citrus notes, bit funky, metallic touch, some parsnip weird enough. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit fruity, funky, dirty touch, herbal, slightly soupy, mineral, a bit acidic, floral notes. Aftertaste: bitter, sea buckthorn, pretty bitter, bit dirty, herbal, floral, some pears, very spicy, weird, galanga roots.
