To defy the Dutch blockade of the waterways here after Belgian independence, the locals of Damme dug the Leopold Canal, known locally as ‘the Blinker’.
Blinker is a dry and thirst-quenching beer made with barley and wheat malts and hopped with the earthy hop varieties, Goldings and Challenger. The lemon symbol adorning the label references not only the citrus aromas and flavours derived from our characterful yeast, but the colour of the sun and the taste of a season.
Water: Damme. Malt: pils, munich, dark wheat. Hops: Golding, Challenger. Yeast: Saison.

At Zythos 2017. Pours almost clear golden. Aroma is yeasty, dirty malts, lightly herbal. Body is light, low sweetness and bitterness, lively carbonation, little flavours. a bit earthy and dirty. Okay.

330 ml. bottle. Bottled 06.01.2017. Much love again for nothing the bottling date. Hazy golden, creamy white head. Nose is very soapy BE yeast, lemon esters, white pepper & chemical, dishwashing liquid fizzy BE. Very fizzy ester body. Taste is big esters, chemical soap, sugar, overly BE, soap, yellow paprika raw, bit green, green paprika bitter esters,... It is a very BE ester bright fizzy brew. Bit much for me, going over into soapy but it is apply made for me. It is very highly carbonated, very big on BE stuff.
