Een keer per jaar gebrouwen met verse hop van eigen teelt, rechtstreeks van het hopveld de brouwketel in.
Noot: dit is GEEN IPA, heeft geen dry-hopping en dus zeker geen Amerikaanse neus. Maar bevat wel 100% verse Belgische hopbellen op de brouwdag zelf geplukt, die zowel als bitterhop (Fuggles) als aromahop (Goldings) werden gebruikt

F: huge, white, long lasting. C: pale gold, hazy. A: malty, light herbal/hoppy, bit caramel, some fruity esters, bit dough, yeasty. T: malty, light caramel, fruity, bit bready, light grassy, not much from hoppy taste, peach, bit spicy, medium to full body, medium carbonation, good balanced and enjoyed but still from Fresh Hop in the name I would expect more hoppy character and for 8,5% it is more BSA or even Tripel than Belgian ale, Lotnr 1713 so I suppose this is another batch #2, if again 65 bottles it is quite rare, bottled 10/17, BB: 10/19, 8,5% ABV, 75cl bottle from Winters Bier Festival 2017 in Waregem.

Bottle. Apparently, a limited release of 65 bottles. Perhaps it will be re-made next year, though? Pours unclear blonde, big white head. smell is bit hoppy, but very, very gently so. Taste is sharp, bit bitter. Some yeast. Hop comes late, and stays very mild. Too mild, for a beer that specifies the hoppyness in the actual name. Still, it’s an easy drinkin’, enjoyable Belgian Blonde. Just not as sexy as I had hoped. Decent body, agreeable to high carbo.
