Belgian beer #666... Bottle at home, golden beer, small to medium head. Aroma is yeast, malt, sweet, fruit. Taste is the same, yeast, malt, fruit, fizzy, not too bad but average yeast belgian blonde.

Belgian blonde ale honouring the municipality of De Pinte southwest of Ghent, brewed by Contreras in Gavere (south of De Pinte). Steinie bottle from Latems Drankhuys. Very thick and foamy, rocky, strongly 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, stable, egg-white head sustained by strong, almost 'champenoise' sparkling in a clear, peach blonde beer with 'metallic' pale orangey hue, turning misty with sediment. Aroma of unsugared chewing gum, strawbales, unripe banana, raw parsnip, damp earth, dusty old coriander seed and a lot of it, dried field flowers, sawdust, subtle honey touch, old rusk, sandpaper, dried out orange peel, old herbarium. Crisp onset, fizzy carbonation, very minerally but not painfully stinging; sweetish notes of red apple, banana and peach but all quite restrainedly so, light sourish undertone. Supple, bit glueish body with a somewhat 'dusty' effect to it; old almonds, rusk and bread crust, malty and a bit sweetish, with slightly bubblegummy sides. Floral, bit earthy finish, clear coriander seed in a 'dusty' way rather than becoming annoyingly soapy (even if it still annoys me), ending gently straw-like bitter with some breadiness from the yeast peeping through - as well as lingering effects from the coriander. Another overcoriandered, simplistic, fizzy Belgian blonde, luckily not too sweet in this case which is why I grant it a relatively high score - but that does not take away the fact that this beer bores me to death, especially right after a rather impressive American wild ale. I do, however, appreciate the fact that Contreras is not too afraid of hops, and the bitterness does linger for a while in this one, so for me personally, it ends up just a little bit higher than average for a Belgian ale. That said, I would recommend the people of nearby De Pinte to come to Ghent to enjoy some truly good beers...

25/VII/16 - 33cl bottle from a trade @ home - BB: 16/X/17 (2016-785) Thanks to JefVerstraete for the trade!
Little cloudy dark blond to amber beige beer, creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, little fruity. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, grains, little sweet, a bit of a chemical bitterness, some ripe banana. Aftertaste: bitter touch, very malty, grains, hay. Decent belgian style ale.

Bottle from LDW, Eke. Golden colour, lots of creamy white foam, some flakes in the beer. Aroma of citrus, peach. Bitter but well balanced and refreshing. Good ale.
