Low-alcoholic beer, a ‘table beer’ indeed, but dubbed an ale since it is top-fermented contrary to the typical Belgian ‘tafelbier’. Thanks Craftmember for sharing. Eggshell-white, medium thick, mousy head lacing in shreds over a hazy, peach-tinged ‘old gold’ beer. Aroma very reminiscent of stale beer (like a pale lager poured the day before), sweat, old potatoes, cooked cotton cloth, old wrinkled apples, raw grains, minerals, soggy old bread. Restrainedly fruity onset with apple peel notes over a sourish edge, hinting at infection; lively carbonation, while this ‘dirty sour’ effect continues alongside a cereally, thinnish-bready malt middle, ending with soft hop bitterness and, very dominantly so, that ‘stale’ effect overtaking in the end. Not a bad idea in view of that low alcohol hype the Low Countries are in the middle of right now, but badly executed, this is clearly infected and not at all inviting.

Ruikt als een saison met chocoladecake. Wat zoetige koek in de smaak. Prima dubbel noemen we zoiets

Thuis uit een flesje. Oranje van kleur, bijna geen schuim. Iets te zoet naar mijn smaak voor blond. Dit flesje was overigens 7,3%.

0.33 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', best before September 2020. Almost clear, orangeish amber with a medium large, foamy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy and a bit yeasty-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Just slightly sweet, moderately bitter, fairly dry, a bit yeasty-spicy taste of straw, some clove and grains, followed by a short, gently bitter, very dry and slightly grassy finish. Thin body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Okay, not overly tasty.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, chestnut colour with ruby glimmer and average, fluffy, fairly lasting, moderately lasting, beige head. Slightly strange, strawy, wheaty and caramel malty aroma, a tangy touch of infection. Taste is minimally tart, dark and caramel malty, a tangy touch of gherkin and brine; maybe some pumpkin; minimally overcarbonated. I don't think everything is intentional here.
