Bottle from Sandersput, Ninove. Simply 'Muurken Blond'. Pours clear pale golden with a small, frothy, white head; some lacing. The aroma contains unripe banana, pineapple, yeast, spices, some cheese, grassy hops, hay. It tastes light fruity sweet, a bit bready, and light to medium spicy bitter, hint of yeast and dank cheese. Dry, hoppy, grassy, slightly yeasty finish. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Quenching, rather innocuous.

As Blond Muurken, which I assume is the same beer. Medium thick and nicely lacing, moussy, creamy, off-white head over a warm, pure golden blonde beer with slightly greenish hue and decent fizz, almost clear but with a very thin haze of yeast throughout, turning fully hazy with deposit. Aroma of lemon zest, dried banana, coriander seed, unripe gooseberry, green apple, dry cake, freshly cut sorrel, breakfast cereals, white pepper, orange peel, dried hay and, alas, a whiff of cooked Brussels sprouts (in other words: the old DMS). Crisp, fruity onset, green apple, gooseberry, some banana and peach, sweetish and sourish but both restrained, spritzy carbo without becoming overcarbonated, light and supple malt body, a bit grainy with a vaguely sweet edge and some spicy yeastiness on top, leading to a juicy malt finish adorned with herbal, grassy and spicy hop bitterness lasting moderately long, bittering as well as yielding floral aromas retronasally; a thin ’film’ of soapy coriander bittersweetness lingers, but fortunately not too obnoxiously so. Floral, light, moderately spicy variation on the ubiquitous Belgian blonde theme, quaffable and pleasant enough, but otherwise not very remarkable.
