Bottle. Golden color, hazy. Indeed, smells like potatoes. And maybe some soft floral notes. Grainy but dry, fairly well hopped earthy flavor. Bitter finish. Drinkable.

Blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of sweet wheaty notes. Banana sweetness. According to the label there's less 'recovered bread' in this than hops. Seems like a gimmick beer.

Another of these Instock beers making use of ingredients that would otherwise go wasted, potatoes in this case; thanks Craftmember for sharing. Egg-white, medium thick, mousy, opening head lacing in dots over a misty apricot blonde beer with pale orange tinge. Aroma of ripe apricot, some bubblegum, green banana, pineapple, ripe pear, sweetbread, cooked turnip, honey, plaster, light caramel and indeed a vague whiff of raw potato – which could just as well be autosuggestion and a mere yeasty effect. Fruity onset, peach, pineapple and light banana, bit bubblegummy but not too much, medium carbed, sweet, slick, bit soapy malt body, touch caramelly, sweetbready and very subtly nutty, leading to a medium long, florally hopped finish with some mildly spicy bitterness and spicy phenols retronasally; light earthy breadiness and some lingering sweetness in the end but no potato flavour to speak of (not sure if that is bad thing, though). Generally a bit better than feared to be honest, basically a decent Belgian style blonde ale but not much more than that - and certainly not a true APA...

Ale made for the Instock restaurant in Amsterdam by Troost; fits Instock's policy of recycling food that would otherwise be wasted in that it is made with 'rejected' bread - an idea not so unique, see e.g. BBP's Babylone. 'Bammetjes' is a (northern) Dutch word affectionately referring to sandwiches, so to a Dutch consumer, the name is clear enough in announcing what is to come. Brown longneck bottle from an Albert Heijn supermarket. Somewhat thinnish, very sparsely lacing, off-white head, reduced to a razor-thin mousy ring and some irregularly edged flat 'islands' but eventually vanishing into nothing at all, over a lightly hazy straw blonde beer with warm 'old gold' hue, turning into a misty peach blonde with sediment. Aroma of sourdough and very vividly so, banana bread and even banana mush, honey, bubblegum, ripe red apple, cloves, soggy old bread, canned peaches, old orange peel, sweetclover, some faint (homemade) lemonade even, anise-like phenols, rainwater, overripe cucumber, vague background DMS. Rather sweet onset with an outspoken sourish edge, lots and lots of bubblegummy banana ester (isoamylacetate) with red apple-, pear- and peach-like hints, lively carbonation, minerally, lean and slightly resinous mouthfeel. Cereally middle part - the part it's all about I guess - with a notably sourish edge, sourdough-like, a bit on the thin side for a beer advertizing 'breadiness' in a literal sense; banana ester lingers while this dull sourishness persists into a phenolic, bit earthy finish releasing just the faintest touch of retronasal DMS, but failing to round off and connect the flavours the way it ought to be. Ends with long wheat soapiness combined with an annoyingly lingering 'deep' sourishness and not enough hops to counter this, while the phenolic aspect exceeds the pleasantly 'Belgian spicy' level and descends into a very light amount of 'medicinality', while the retronasal DMS builds and builds to the point where it blocks my enjoyment. I have nothing against the idea behind this beer and I guess turning (wheat-made) bread into a beer with a Belgian style yeast strain should lead to something Weizen-like - considering the wheat was processed, if not malted, and Belgian witbier spicing has apparently not been applied - but clearly there are some flaws here: the basic sourishness is too outspoken, the phenolic effects are too strong and off-flavours are noticeable here and there, most notably that repulsive DMS. Feels very amateurish, yet somehow this clumsy beer made its way to the Albert Heijn supermarket shelves… Not very pleasant.
