Blonde ale apparently brewed by Ganzenhof for a the first international event organised by a local department of the Scout Movement; thanks Meeki for sharing. Gusher so be ware. Snow white, medium thick, moussey head on a hazy yellow blonde beer. Aroma of ripe banana, grass, apple sauce, an obnoxious aspect of sweaty feet, Durondeau pear, stewed carrot, honey, field flowers, brioche, clove. Sweet onset, lots of ripe banana and ripe pear, some melon even, fizzy carb, slick body; brioche-bready and soggy-cereally palt maltiness, straightforward with a honeyish layer of residual sugars on top, along with the typical spicy dashes of coriander and clove, working to a somewhat earthy, moderately yeasty finish with lingering estery fruitiness and floral hop bitterishness kept mild. Very stereotypical Belgian blonde, ticking all the boxes of this almost standardized style - boring, for sure, but technically okay and I guess it has done its job as a connecting and easily enjoyable beer for these scouts (the ones that are old enough to drink alcohol, at least...).
