Can: Poured a golden color ale with a nice white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with light dry hoppy undertones is quite pleasant. Taste is a refreshing mix of cereal notes with some light dry hoppy undertones notes with a semi-dry finish. Body is average with good carbonation. Easy drinking and refreshing and well brewed for the style.

Can: Pale golden, a bit unclear, slowly collapsing big loose white head; moderate dryish nose of herbal to piney hops, some sweet pale malt underneath; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light bodiec but fortunately very soft; moderate smooth and lingering bitter-piney finish, balanced by silky pale malt. Ano, a highly sessionable beer...

Caña en Cimmeria 25..10..2017. (r106). Color amarillento oscuro turbio con espuma blanca persistente fina. Sabores frescos herbáceos y especiados con toques suaves resinosos al final que dejan suave amargo algo seco. Cuerpo ligero a medio con bastante sabor para su gradación alcohólica. Bastante buena para repetir.

English golden ale, can bought at Dranken De Moor in rural Flanders. Opens with a loud hissing sound and produces a towering high, inches thick, very rocky, bath foam-like, very thickly (in relief) lacing, coarse, egg-white head, over a lightly hazy, pure and warm golden blonde beer with somewhat olive greenish tinge, its haze being perturbed by fine but fierce, champagne-like strings of bubbles. Aroma of straw, old wrinkled apple peel, sweetclover and lots of other fragrant field flowers, radish, bread crumbs, dried wormwood leaves, fresh lemon zest, moist white pepper, hints of yellow grapefruit, bath soap, white grapes, freshly cut grass, raw potato. Crisp, fruity onset, some sweetishness of peach, unripe banana and red apple, sourish redcurrant touches surrounding it, altogether fairly dry yet lively, with spritzy carbonation - though not as fierce and sharp as I was expecting based on the looks, but nevertheless adding minerally notes. Supple cereally and pleasantly ’white’ bready malt middle with ongoing apple and peach accents, as well as something weirdly metallic (as in: tin can metal) on the sides, though not disturbing me. Ends very quenching, dried and bittered by a firm and confident dosis of noble hops, wormwood- and grapefruit peel-like, thorough and long, retronasally floral and spicy, though the whole remains juicy in the end. The humble golden ale was developed only in the eighties in its modern form, as a response by ale brewers to the pale lager revolution which had finally started to flood Britain too - decades to more than a century after other European countries had succumbed - and most of them have an elegant, quenching yet rather straightforward profile; this one adds a robust amount of noble, old school hop bitterness, more so than is averagely the case - though many other younger English breweries now do the same thing in these hop-forward times. Pleasantly fruity and dryingly hoppy, very refreshing beer, certainly among the better examples of golden ale I had so far. I love how this brewery approaches classic English ale styles and subtly connects them to modern trends without departing from tradition; in that sense, Moor is something of a forerunner to the ’American’ craft beer revolution of the early 20th century in Britain, placing them at least conceptually in a position very much comparable to De Ranke or De La Senne in Belgium. Being familiar with both old European beer traditions and the quirks of modern craft brewing, this brewery to me often holds the middle, and does so in a clever, technically very well executed way. Cheers to that.

Can from CBB. It is a cloudy gold with a dense creamy ivory colored foam. The aroma is a fruity floral hop bouquet. The taste is bitter grapefruit peel, lemon, crackery malts, and a herbal bitter hop finish from the medium bodied beer. A solid well-balanced beer but a bit pricey at 676 yen a can.
