Can. Slightly cloudy dark yellow with a small white head. Aroma of mostly raspberries and a little bit of vanilla. Taste of raspberries, (sponge) cake, malts and vanilla. Fruity and acidic with just the right amount of sweetness. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Very balanced. Awesome. Copy and paste from my review of the non-alcoholic version: This is how you do pastry beers. Surprisingly enjoyable. I‘d imagine this would pair well with a piece of Frakfurter Kranz.

Can 0,33 ltr: Hazy dark blonde with an velvet sweet taste with low bitterness, hints of raspberry and an touch of vanilla. Just like the difficult to eat pastry for people not from the Netherlands. If you know the taste of the pastry, this beer taste almost the same. But why not an HEMA rookworst beer too.

Blik gekregen van Roelzie, thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een licht troebel oranje geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van vanille en glazuur. De smaak is zoet, frambozen en vanille.

Pastry blonde (you do not get these nearly as often as pastry stouts) intended to evoke tompouce pastry, created for the Hema supermarket chain by Lowlander. Many thanks for the can Sylvan! Snow white, dense and tiny-bubbled, cobweb-lacing, stable head over a cloudy peach blonde beer with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of indeed tompouce or even ‘boterkoeken’, vanilla and crème anglaise, orange peel and zest, margarine, milk sugar, sweet yellow raspberries in a ‘processed’ (frozen) way, honey, Madeleine cookies, also a whiff of rusty old iron (probably oxidation already setting in). Sweet onset though less extremely so than expected based on the nose, some clean fruitiness of pineapple and peach to even apricot jam, paired with a citrusy note (mandarin); fizzy carb, creamy mouthfeel from the added lactose which in itself also continues the initial sweetness, over a cookie-like malt core. Orange peel citrusiness comes up in the finish, along with odd and rather out-of-place chalky and metallic accents; creamy, sweet finish not hindered by any hop bitterness, but by this time the citrusy effect has become stronger than the tompouce associations. More vanilla-forward, sweeter and less explicitly citrusy than the IPA version (yes, there is one, believe it or not) – my sample was a tad too old already to be fully enjoyed, but I get the idea here and creating a blonde tompouce beer can never have been an easy task. Strangely Lowlander, working at Proef, completed that task quite well, even if this kind of pastry beers are not my personal cup of tea. More pleasant than expected, in all.

2/VI/22 - 33cl can from Hema (Gent), shared @ afterwork drink, BB: 2/IX/22 13:23 T2 (2022-636)

Clear orange beer, creamy white head, stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: vanilla, raspberry jam, sweet and sugary impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, soft acidity, a little sugary, vanilla, some raspberry jam. Aftertaste: sweet sugary finish, very mediocre, don’t like it very much.

Slightly hazy warm pink golden colour, white head. Vanilla, raspberry, sweet raspberry syrup, malts. Malty flavour, rather sweet. Sweet finish, raspberry syrup. Rather decent, actually. It reminds me of tompouce, so it does what it needs to do.
From 33cL can in the garden. Thanks for the can, Tim!

Blikje gekregen van Tomhendriksen en thuis gedronken. Rose, gelig helder bier met matig schuim. Aroma is heel licht fruitig. Smaak van een wijnbal en waterig. Plakkerig in de mond en lippen na het drinken. Nasmaak is plat en een beetje wrang.

Peachy colour with dense head. Aroma is jammy and perfumed. Flavour has sweet red jam. Yes, creamy, cakey, sweet. It delivers on the brief but not really my thing.
