A Belgian-style blonde ale with complex citrus flavour thanks to the five different types of hop used. Mandarin and floral notes and a balanced bitterness leaves you wanting more. The name of this blonde ale is a tribute to the world famous Beemster polder. Before the excess polder water is drained from the Beemster, it’s stored in the Boezem. The Boezem keeps the Beemster dry, lets toast to that!

De boezem houdt de Beemster droog. Voordat het overtollig polderwater uit de Beemster wordt afgevoerd, wordt het opgeslagen in de boezem. Dan stroomt het weg via een stelsel van kanalen en ringvaarten: het zogenaamde boezemstelsel. De Beemsterringvaart is onderdeel van dit stelsel en kan daarom worden gezien als de boezem van de Beemster. In onze Beemster Boezem zijn het geen liters polderwater, maar onder andere vijf verschillende soorten hop die samenkomen. Het resultaat is een licht en goudgeel bier, met toetsen van citrusfruit. Die Beemster blijft wel droog, daar drinken we op.

330 ml bottle, purchased as part of a 3-beers giftpack at a food / deli store at Schiphol Airport. ABV is 5%. Slightly hazy golden colour, small white head. Distinct aroma of Belgian ale yeast, hints of white kandij sugar syrup, mild spices and honeymelon. The flavour is fairly smooth, some yeasty notes but not too much, otherwise with the same elements as the aroma.

Thuis uit een flesje. Licht troebel gouden kleur, wit schuim. Lekker fris (ik dronk het lekker koud en had grote dorst), maar de nasmaak is erg vlak. Niet erg uitgesproken.

On tap at NHBF'18. Golden orange colour, white head. Aroma of candy (hello Jopen!), malt, light citrus, coriander seed. Flavour follows, not much to it. I liked the Hoppen Blond better.
