Another hobby brewer posing as a brewery, but at least these guys are honest about where their beers are actually brewed - the first ones (of a few years ago) at Paenhuys, this newish one at nearby Boelens. It is currently the only beer commercialized by this Brouwerij Coucke. Egg-white, frothy, regularly shaped, mousy and stable head on an initially clear peach-golden beer, turning hazy and more deeply orangey with sediment. Aroma unfortunately plagued by strong DMS (overcooked cauliflower), next to banana peel, coriander seed, stewed carrots, white bread, peach, straw. Fruity onset, banana ester with peach and red apple aspects, sweetish with a slight sourish edge and lively carbonation; supple, bready and ever so slightly soapy body, spiced with clear coriander seed which explains the soapy aspect; floral hops in the end, softly bittering, while the coriander lingers and the DMS makes a final appearance retronasally. Apart from that latter aspect, not the worst Belgian blonde imaginable, but very basic, simplistic and predictable...
