Bottle, light hazy orange beer, medium head. Aroma is yeast, malt, sweet, apples, fruit. Taste is the same, sweet, apple, yeast, fruity, bitter, dry, light fizzy. Nice one

Limburgian 'streekbier' from a new client brewer there called Bezoens, flavoured with oak chips and local apples. Large-bubbled, thick and foamy, egg-white, cobweb-lacing head on a hazy orangey peach blonde beer with lively sparkling. Aroma of green apple and indeed some apple juice, banana peel, coriander powder, dough, minerals, grass, field flowers, clove - but virtually nothing of the announced oak chips. Fruity onset, sweetish but not overdone, estery effects of banana peel, pear and again apple, the latter accentuated by the added apple flavour which nevertheless remains quite subtle, fizzily carbonated with soft and fluffy body; bready, even somewhat doughy pale malt sweetishness, softly bitterish finish with grassy hops and clove-like phenols - and perhaps some of this end bitterness is due to tannic effects from the oak chips, but actual oakiness is nowhere to be seen. Banana and apple fruitiness linger along with yeasty and malty breadiness; a soapy note trails behind. Easygoing and very accessible to the Belgian 'streekbieren' palate: the added ingredients have been applied so sparsely and 'cheaply' that they are all but unnoticeable - the apple is more or less there, but I would never have guessed oak chips here if I hadn't known, so they could just as well have left them out altogether. Forgettable at best.
