Dry-hopped blonde by a to me unknown beer company in Amsterdam, bottle from the Mitra in Lelystad. Tightly paper-lacing, fairly thick, very moussy, egg-white, stable head over a hazy pale orange blonde beer with peachy hue. Aroma of lemon-scented hand soap, lime flesh, bread crust, lavender, dried old grapefruit peel, rusk, leek soup, old potatoes, dusty cloth, dry breakfast cereals, dried meadowsweet flowers in a herbarium, cloves, baker's yeast, lotion, dandelion juice. Cleanly fruity onset, hinting at unripe green banana, a dash of pear and a touch of soapy starfruit, restrained in sweetness with a sourish undertone, notably minerally side notes also due to high carb, slick and supple mouthfeel. Cereally, grainy malt body with softening white bread-like but also explicitly soapy edges leads to a firmly hop bitter finish, drying and peppery with dried grapefruit- and field flower-like notes, light spicy phenols and lingering malt and yeast breadiness, but the latter relatively thinly so; rooty hop bitterness and soapiness linger. Bitter session ale, very soapy, feeling a tad fuller than the 4.5% ABV it contains, but by no means a session IPA as stated here (and this is not claimed by the brewer either!) - rather a hop-forward, 'hypo-alcoholic' Belgian style blonde, with an unnecessary and distracting lemon soap factor deeply penetrating its flavour. A bit boring but technically decent, could work well in a Belgian context but the Dutch should know better these days especially in a city like Amsterdam, which is delightfully teeming with classy craft beer pubs now. Very drinkable, but dramatically lacking in the fragrant, citrusy New World style hop aromatics I was hoping for - and even then it should be less yeasty to qualify for this style. Does feel 'fuller' in body than the average 4.5% ABV beer though, I guess this deserves some appreciation as well.

Draught, beer flight, at Tap Zuid. A filmy layer blanketing the glass. Pale golden body, cloudy. Dusty hops on the nose. citric hints. Taste of ripe lemony hops added by malted wheat. Mid-dry bitter tail. Refreshing, easy to drink. Just alright. (Amsterdam 08.03.2018).

Hazy pale golden colour, tall frothy white head, good retention and lacing, Aroma pale malts, lemon, lime, lemon grass (sereh). Flavour medium sweet and bitter, malty, citrusy, chalky, mineral notes. Dry bittersweet aftertaste, lime leaves (kaffir lime/jeruk purut), chalky notes. Light to medium body, watery to oily texture, soft carbonation. Refreshing yet a bit one-dimensional, nice though.
