Bottle from Boegbeeld, Den Bosch. Aroma is malt, spicy Belgian-ish yeast, soft notes of plum, coriander, a bit candied fruity with a touch of banana. Flavour is on the sweet wide and lightly bitter. Finish is a bit short and blunt, little depth. Body is medium. Not as terrible as I expected, but not good either. Just very mediocre.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy yellow colored brew with an medium sweet bitter taste, some fruity hints. Opening the bottle there was an plum flavor that disappeared very quickly. Good shocking marketing gimmick, but it needs more plums.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orange golden colour with some tiny floaters and average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally grainy, malty and (yeasty) fruity aroma, notes of plum, a touch of apricot. Taste is sweet-ish, pale malty and (yeasty) fruity, notes of plum, a touch of apricot, minimally dry, leafy hoppy overtones. Slightly creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Not overly complex, nice, well integrated plum flavours - OK.

33cl Fles van Katjeskelder park shop. Granig, iets mufs, moerassig, zure sloot, iets zoets van de pruimen, licht hoppig. Matige pale ale.

Belgian style blonde with added plum juice, from a Dutch brewery – with a name referring to female genitalia, which in some parts of the Dutch language territory are also compared with plums, hence the link; immature and potentially offensive as the name of this brand may therefore be, it clearly works to get attention and it is now available in Belgian drinks stores as well. Snow white, thickly moussy, stable, shred-lacing head, initially clear yellow-golden robe, turning misty and deeper ‘old gold’ with sediment. Aroma of indeed some plum jelly and cooked plum rather than fresh plum juice, green banana, cereals, grass, cooked pear, coriander seed, cooked red cabbage sweetened with brown sugar, honey, old cotton cloth, dried out white bread. Crisp onset, green pear, vague banana and indeed (unripe) plum somewhere, with a certain degree of plum peel astringency; medium carb, white-bready and grainy pale maltiness with a touch of soapy coriander seed spiciness and mild grassy and floral hop bitterness in the end. Ends a tad powdery (yeasty) but altogether clean and measured, with traces of this altogether subtle plum peel astringency lingering; any true ripe plum (or even plum juice) flavour remains as good as absent. Not that I feel cheated, though – I can have a plum lambic like Tilquin’s Oude Quetsche any time instead of this rather ordinary, childishly named, attention-seeking blonde.

Small yellowish head over clear golden beer. Hops, fruity esters, parsley, and a bit meaty nose, at the same time aromatic. Bit metallic taste; fruity indeed, if difficult to name the fruit. Ends again bitter-metallic. Retronasal unripe fruit. Quite slick, medium carbonation, bit sticky. Not really great, uttely infantile name.

Lichtgeel bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is fruitig en licht bitter hoppig met iets van citrus, ananas en zowaar iets van pruimen. Best aardig bier.

Fles 33cl thuis. Citrus, hoppig, yeasty, wat rood fruit (pruim?), geel fruit, bittertonen, zoeten. (22-10-2021).
