F: big, egg-white, average retention. C: pale gold, clear. A: malty, fruity, bit honey, DMS but I hope it could be manageable in the future, bit herbal, peach, floral, yeasty. T: malty, DMS (Dimethyl Sulfide) is the main problem here otherwise it would be enjoyable for sure, floral, peach, yeasty, medium body and carbonation, 33cl bottle from AD De Haan supermarket.

The first beer from this brand new brewery in Middelkerke at the Belgian seaside, the name of which refers to a former brewery. Draught at Toogoloog in Middelkerke. Very towering high, cobweb-lacing, dense, snow white head over a clear, warm 'old gold' coloured beer. Aroma suffers to a very high degree of DMS (overcooked, sulfuric vegetables), basically ruining other impressions of dry white bread, grass, breakfast cereals, unripe pear, celery, minerals, apple, white pepper. Clean fruity onset, only very subtly estery with vague notes of pear and green banana, almost as neutral as a lager; very sharply overcarbonated, adding a lot of minerally effects and numbing the tongue. Slick grainy and cereally body, slightly metallic, 'green' and straightforward; grassy hop bitterish finish, floral, graininess lingers a bit, rather thin ending really. Clearly a Belgian blonde in the pale lager imitating sense of the word, simplistic but could have been okay if it weren't for that off-putting, extreme overload of DMS.
