De smaakbeleving die je ervaart bij het drinken van dit goudkleurig bier is te danken aan de evoluerende aroma’s van citrus in samenspel met het frisse karakter van onze “secret magic touch”.
Verrijkt met een ambachtelijk geselecteerd kruidenpallet proef je, in combinatie met onze eigen hop, het rebelse koppige karakter van Gent en het frivole van Stasegem.

4/VIII/24 - 33cl bottle as a gift (I guess?), shared @ my parents’ place, BB: 3/V/24 (whoops), lot: 2204/929 (2024-687)
Clear gold blond to yellow beer, big creamy solid off-white head, irregular, stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: spicy, coriander, lemony, grains, meh, weird, almost infected, a bit oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very spicy, lots of coriander, bitter, a bit sourish, some yeasty, ripe to overripe banana. Aftertaste: more sourish, grassy, a bit hoppy, citrus touch, ok.

New BeerSelect blonde created by three inhabitants of my city of Ghent plus a guy from Stasegem near Kortrijk in West-Flanders, hence the name; at a Thai restaurant in Zwijnaarde (and apparently already quite widely available in greater Ghent - these guys mean business, it seems), cheers Jacqueline! Contains - sigh - "a secret magic touch", in the form of herbs or spices which are of course, in the best of Belgian traditions, kept secret. Snow white, thick, moussey and dense, stable head on a misty warm yellow blonde beer with deeper apricot tinge. Aroma of drying orange peel, lemon thyme, brioche bread, honey, sweetclover, ripe pear, minerals, faint hints of papaya, mandarin and sandwiches. Fizzy onset, very sharp and numbing on the tongue with strong minerally effect as in carbonated water; sweetish with notes of pear, pineapple and mandarin, slender honeyish sweetness persistently hovering over a brioche-bready pale malt base with a touch of, perhaps, crystal malt; smooth finish with floral, mild but somewhat balancing hop bitterness combined with a light citrusy aspect (orange peel) and indeed sweet herbal notes of basil, rosemary and dried lavender flowers, but nothing overpowering, remaining vague and subtle yet fitting actually quite well into the whole. Sweet and fruity, mass-marketed blonde for sure, overcarbonated as well, but admittedly clean, sleek and tasty, feeling 'natural' and free of off-flavours - in that sense this is actually relatively refined, a bit like that Paalsteen from Sint-Martens-Latem (which does not have the herbs). Better than expected, to be fair, maybe even one I may consider to revisit when I come across it again on a sunny outdoors café somewhere in Ghent.
