(Draught at Delirium Tap Bar, Brussels, 18 Oct 2015) Hazy yellow colour with lasting, white head. Malty nose with notes of grain, wheat, hay and a touch of citrus. Malty taste with cereal, wheat, bread, some hay, bread spices and a low bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well made witbier. Quite nice.

Draught at Gollem. Very thick and frothy, snow white, creamily lacing, stable, dense head, hazy peachy golden blonde colour. Aroma of red apple, some banana, biscuit, mandarin, coriander seed, canned apricot, honey, iron. Very softly fruity onset, accents of apple and banana, creamy body, honeyish malt sweetness with metallic hint, soft carbo, mild grassy hop bitterishness in the end along with soapy coriander but the banana ester and honeyish malt sweetness keep prevailing. I don’t see the point in this, the two original Waterloo beers are boring enough as they are and this is just another very cliché Belgian blonde intended for the big masses without any distinguishing feature, but then it is John Martin, of course - the company bringing the most boring or sometimes even the most disgusting beers to the Belgian consumer. Never liked them.

Hofgut Hopfenburg, camping in Schwäbische Alb. Fles mee van thuis. Kruidig maar beetje wrang smaakje. Iets te alcoholisch.. Backlog from 2015/07/19.

Bottle (from SIP, Tallinn). Pours dark golden with whiteish head. The head stays. Aroma is sweet, fresh fruits, esthers, apricot, dryness. Flavor is sweet and bitter, fresh fruits, apricot. Finish is sweet and dry bitter. Carbonation is high. Overall: solid macro Belgian golden strong paleish, but carbonation is way too much for me.

Vilsteren. Zoet bruine suiker gebrand graan melasse achtig. Geen nadrukkelijke gistsmaak en dat is wel eens fijn voor een Belg. Backlog from 2015/05/24.
