Brewed in commemoration of the old cultivation of flax in the Leie region (so does not contain any flax). The label depicts a painting by Emile Claus.

330ml Bottle - Hazy golden with a foamy head. Grain, wort and honey in the aroma. Grain, porridge oats and honey can be detected in the bready taste. Interesting but I am not familiar enough with flax to discern it in this beer.

Derivative of Het Kapittel Blond, possibly even the same beer, something which requires further investigation. I never tasted them side by side so I have to limit myself here to a description of Vlasbier as such. Intended to accompany Vlaskaas, this has an off-white, sticky, thick and moussy head and a peach blonde colour, cloudy and becoming almost brownish with deposit (mostly dead yeast - the tasted sample was 5 years old). Fruity aroma, pineapple, orange, pear, lemon zest, honey, pepper, ginger and cardboard as a result of ageing. Soft fruity taste, slight citrus freshness but probably more so in a young sample, honeyish, slick malt sweetness, sourish accent, smooth finish with low hop bitterness and warming alcohol (a bit too apparent for a beer of 6.5% ABV); I assume the hops had deteriorated a bit after five years. Still enjoyable, though.

Bottle from the butchery . Apparently , made for the combo with the cheese ( Vlaskaas ) The beer itself is rather stale , common, blonde beer. Not imressed . For the curious , the cheese was likewise ..

Clear, copper coloured. Sweet floral aroma, perhaps some honey. Flavour is also sweet with a touch of yeast. Slightly spicy. Generally sweet but fresh.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden coloured hue with particles floating around and a blond mid-sized foamy head. Cerealy, bready malty nose with notes of lineseed and band aid. Slightly sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, rather light bodied with a tame carbonation. Dry and slim “malty” base with subtle notes of citrus, cereals and shy spicy notes; mildly sweet and slightly sourish finish. Definitely not convincing. 01.III.14

Orange im Glas, süßlich-milder Geruch. Der Antrunk ist aromatisch-frisch, leicht süßlich. Zum Hauptteil kommen typische Aromen eines hellen Tripel hinzu, dabei angenehm herb. Diese Herbe verstärkt sich im Nachgeschmack, die angenehm milde Süße harmoniert (fast) perfekt mit den anderen Aromen. Auf der Zunge bleibt eine angenehme, mild-weiche und feinherbe Tripel-Note zurück. --> leckeres Bier!
