(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head leaving laces. Sharp and leathery hop aroma. Medium body, some fruit and malt sweetness quickly overpowered by a very dry and distinct bitterness. An unusual Belgian Blond. 070307

A hazy amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light metallic notes - is it from the alcohol? The flavor is sweet with notes of metal and plastic, what went wrong here?

Cloudy deep blond color. The aroma is spicy, but strange. Tha taste is wrong, with some malt but overly bitter; spicy as well; a bad experiment.

Bottled. Clear golden. Rich aroma of herbal spices. Sweet and softly malty with notes of licorice and banana. Anise and salt in the finish. Hop dominated.

More and more of the beer is now brewed at the Ingelmunster location, and not outsourced. It is unclear whether this is considered a new beer, or a renaming of the Extra Blond, now brewed at home. Clear, slightly peachy-blond beer, with slim white head. Bit vegetable, greenmalt nose, but not too young-smelling. Yeasty. Bitterish, grassy taste, ending vegetable bitter, like Belgian endives, but shortlived. Slick (again, umpteenth time I jot down this word today), velvety MF. It’s quite OK. Yet, if you call your beer " Extra Bitter ", I expect some other punch. Pay the brewer a USA trip, please.
