3rd LCRBM. Citrus and a hint of milk in the aroma. Thin to medium bodied. Citric, slightly yeasty flavor. Flowery hops. Quite decent without being spectacular.

Beer developed by beerclub De Objectieve Kaaischuimers in Temse, brewed at De Graal. Thanks to Stefan for the bottle! Thick, snow white, moussy, thickly ’papery’ lacing, very stable head over a hazy straw blonde beer with warm peachy hue. Aroma of bubblegum and banana ester, green Granny Smith apples, sugarloaf, dough, freshly cut sorrel, pineapple, melting powder sugar, old dry lemon peel, radish, mustard seed, soap (coriander), dried camomile flowers, pear, unmistakable DMS (cooked cauliflower). Crisp, fruity onset, lots of banana ester as expected, green apple acetaldehyde too, hard unripe pear, hint of raw pineapple, restrainedly sweetish with a relatively vivid sourish edge, sharp minerally carbonation accentuating this sourness, medium body. Dry, grainy middle, a bit bready, with ongoing ’green’ and banana fruitiness, remaining crisp and refreshing, a bit more bready in the end due to yeast, with the finish dried and bittered by a firm, rooty, grassy and leafy, peppery hop dosis, adding a long-lasting bitterness that successfully balances out the banana sweetness in the end. Crisp, dry, very effervescent, floral and grassy with a long-lasting hop bitterness in the end: this is more saison-like than many new beers intended as such and in any case more hop bitter than your average Belgian blonde. Too bad for that DMS accent in the nose, though.

19/IX/2012 33cl bottle @ home - BB: VIII/14 (2012-1056) Thanks to De Kaaischuimersfor the bottle!

Clear pale milky yellow beer, big white creamy head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: coriander, citrus, orange peel, banana, candi sugar, sweetness, bit grassy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a lot of citrus, grassy hops, some banana, lemon and orange peel, coriander, sweet candi sugar. Aftertaste: little bitter, fruity, alcohol warming the throat, citrus, bit grassy. Refreshing beer, but lots of alcohol, so dangerous.

Hazy yellow; small whitish rim. Spicy, citrussy nose, candi sugar, bit lactic. Again citrussy in the flavour, with white candi sugar (which cannot be tasted, of course, according to the brewers’ evangelium), garden herbs. Ends a lot drier. Medium bodied, well attenuated. Well-made, technically, but, as so often these days, not one to go raving about.
