Pours slightly hazed yellowblonde. medium sized, stable white head. Scent is crisp indeed. mild citrussy / grassy hops. Fresh and easy. Taste is very crisp indeed, mild citrussy grassy notes from the hop. A bit below expectations in terms of complexity, not as hopforward as anticipated. Still, a nice sessionable beer, for what it's worth. Ends just a bit too sweet for it's own good I guess, making the 'freshness' not very lasting.
Thnx Tim !

The house beer of the Steen café in the historical Onderstraat in the centre of Ghent, brewed by Stroom and referring to the well-known Greek myth of perpetual, pointless and hard labour (which is what beer reviewing sometimes feels like with all these new ones coming up all the time). From tap at Steen (but available from can as well). Egg-white, moussy, dense, membrane-lacing, stable head, misty pale yellow-straw blonde robe. Aroma of damp straw, old lemon zest, wet kitchen towel, raw potato peel, green banana, freshly cut raw white cabbage, grass, chamomile. Cleanly fruity onset, subdued in sweetness, some unripe pear and green banana notes, sharply carbonated with somewhat numbing effect; slender cereally and white-bready, bit grainy maltiness softly and accessibly bittered by grassy, floral and lightly zesty hops, with this green banana effect lingering a bit. Deliberately kept simple and accessible like a pale lager-imitating Belgian blonde, of which this is the ‘Americanized’ craft beer equivalent, I guess – the kind of generic and interchangeable APA- and IPA-ish hop-forward session beers that larger craft enterprises (think BrewDog and the like) major in these days. The canned version maintained a bit more hop aroma than the tap version so if you are looking for flavour, order a can. Generally speaking: modern and technically correct, but rather empty, ‘short’ and boring, to be frank…

24/VI/22 - on tap @ Steen (Ghent), BB: n/a (2022-780)
Clear light yellow blond beer, solid creamy white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: a bit malty, very neutral, smell, some grains. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very bitter hops, right from the start, a bit metallic, slightly fruity, very dry, a hint of grapefruit, a bit sweet. Aftertaste: a bit watery, malty touch, pretty bitter, some grapefruit notes, dry finish.
