Brewed for off-licence Prik & Tik in Leopoldsburg. Important: this is the new version, brewed since late 2012 by brewery Anders. This info is not on the label, but you can tell by the bottle. It is now in narrow tall 33cl bottles, before it was in wide low 33cl bottles.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a hazy yellow with a smallish, lacing, white head. Fruity and yeasty nose, phenollic. Medium body, initially a somewhat sweet fruitiness with very Belgian esters, quickly dries out and actually has quite some hops in the finish. Very Belgian and solid. No longer brewed at Anders, but at BRAUW in Genk for Ultima. 180222

Rating overgezet. Het is een licht troebel geel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat zoete geur en smaak.

Beer made for Prik & Tik, the buying group that incorporates many drinks stores including some of the top quality ones; 33 cl 'trappist' bottle from Lokerse Drankencentrale. Apparently this beer has been made before by Affligem, but this is clearly the present-day Anders version. Intricately cobweb-lacing, medium thick, fine-bubbled, snow white head, slowly showing gaps, over a misty peach blonde beer with pale orangey hue. Aroma of old wrinkled apples, strong effect of dried orange peel (the old familiar curaçao, I guess), deep-fried banana, clear 'rusty' oxidation, old bread crust, damp kitchen towels and jute bags, damp straw, honey, dried ginger powder, soapy and 'dusty' coriander seed, hints of stale tomato soup, spoiled basil leaves, sweet potato, dust, sweet cicely or even aniseed note, touch of dry earth. Fruity onset, quite crisp still, with peach, banana and pineapple notes, well-carbonated but very tolerable for a Belgian blonde, smooth-bodied with a light soapy edge enhanced in the finish by coriander seed effects, sweetish-cereally and lightly caramelly malt body underneath, with a thin layer of honeyish unfermented sugariness on top. Phenolic clove-like spicy effects join in near the finish, almost overpowering the coriander and curaçao effects that clearly have been effectively used as spicing; grassy, floral, bit earthy hop bitterness in the tail as well, lingering a bit on the root of the tongue. Some coriander soapiness accompanies this hop element but it is the unfermented sweetness - clearly this is not an all-malt beer - that prevails; retronasally, a brief anise-like scent appears too, likely of phenolic origin. Your run-of-the-mill sweet and accessible Belgian blonde, as stereotypical as it gets (and too old, even oxidized, in my particular sample) - so this is hardly something I can recommend, even if it is brewed correctly. Beers like this - I keep encountering them all the time even after having had thousands of Belgian brews by now - do nothing to educate the consumer or to extend the Belgian beer map. Completely unnecessary and way too 'easy', but not a failure technically speaking, I think that about sums it up.

Bottle shared. Hazy golden with a small off white head. Aroma of lemon, cleaning liquid, sugary, light herbal notes and light malt. Flavour is moderate to light heavy sweet in a nasty sugary way and light to light moderate bitter. Light medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle shared thanks to the U.K. Clear golden with small white head. Lots of sweet malts, honey, some flowers, dried herbs, chalk, lots of sugar syrup, cardboard. Very sweet and light bitter. Over medium bodied with syrupy feel. Quite bad.

Bottle. Pours unclear blonde, rather small white head. Smell is yeasty, bit malts. Taste is sharp, malty and yeasty ( more yeasty towards the back ) with a metallic undertone. Some fruityness from the yeast, as well as it’s sweetnesss. OK beer. bit too much carbonation ( so typically belgian ) but nothing wrong with it. Just one of the many.
