Bottle @ home. Clear yellow color, medium sized quickly diminishing white head. Smell and taste malts, a hint of sweetness initially, slightly floral, but then a little more citrussy with a moderate to medium bitterness. Decent beer.

One of the two beers emerging from the new Amburon brewery, which has produced several other beers under their company’s brand name at Anders before starting up this new brand by themselves. Bottle from Fontana in Sint-Niklaas. Lots of pressure is released upon opening, but no gushing. Medium thick, lightly lacing, egg-white head, fairly stable, over a lightly hazy yellow blonde beer with ’old gold’ hue. Aroma of banana (isoamylacetate), camomile, withered salad, garden weeds, pear, apricot, raw pineapple slices, overripe gooseberry, old white pepper, straw, vanilla, white sugar, bread crumbs, horseradish. Fruity onset, lots of banana, some apricot and gooseberry, sweet with a souring edge, very spritzy carbonation numbing the tongue, coarsening an otherwise smooth, juicy middle of bready and lightly honeyish malt sweetness; fruity and phenolic notes get the accompaniment of a floral, spicy, leafy hop character in the end, gently bittering, a bit ’weedy’, yielding flowery notes retronasally while the banana and white candi sugar sweetness lingers along with the juicy maltiness. This is by no means an IPA in the modern sense of the word: I guess it can be classified as a Belgian IPA in terms of brewer’s intent, but the hop bitterness is still fairly gentle, albeit effective and elegant. Pleasant quencher for sure, but basically a classic Belgian blonde with more hops than is traditionally - commercially - the case in this type of beer, so in that sense more a traditional ’Belgian bitter’ (if there ever was such as style) than a true IPA - think XX Bitter, Bink Blond or Reninge Bitter Blond. Enjoyable enough.
