Really nice beer, has all the belgian notes I like, it is very strong with some alcohol bite to it. Bottle is one year old. It does taste a little less lively than I would like, but I’m not sure it’s oxidized. online belgian beer factory

Strong Belgian blonde commissioned by Coin Cassé in Nieuwpoort at the Belgian seaside; steinie bottle at Kantien, Ghent. Medium thick, snow white, opening but generally well-retaining, lacing head, lightly hazy deep orange-tinged peach blonde beer. Aroma of banana, industrial honey, cooked sweet apples, carrot juice, fried sweet potatoes, 'perzikenjenever', bubblegum, orange, touches of earth, green pear, grass and vague DMS. Sweet onset, ripe banana and peaches as well as a red apple note, lively carbonation on the 'coarse', stinging side, smooth-edged but full mouthfeel; lingering white sugary sweetness on top of a cereally, honeyish maltiness, with some grassy-floral hop bitterness in the end together with very light phenolic accents and a boozy, wodka-like alcohol warmth that becomes just a tad much for me in the end. Sweetness lingers, dried by alcohol heat more than hops. By itself, a perfectly fine, clearly Duvel-inspired Belgian 'edelbier', but cliché and a bit too boozy for me; I can, however, imagine myself drinking this again on a summer afternoon at the Nieuwpoort beach instead of a Duvel, if I ever pass by there.

15cl glass on Sunday 3rd Feb 2019; Brugge Bier Festival. Blond/golden body, snow white blanket of foam for a head. Light citrus notes dominate both the nose and taste of this 'basic' Belgian Blond. Easy drinking at 4.5% ABV with a pleasant enough floral and fruity front. A refreshing summer session beer rather than a 'stand in a tent on a cold Feb afternoon in Brugge'.

Sunday 3rd Feb 2019; Brugge Bier Festival, 15cl glass. Golden body, large fluffy white crown. Sweet and fruity with a slightly bitter feel to the lingering finish. OK, but surrounded by many superior beers on the day.

2 February 2019. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to tderoeck, 77ships, Jerre, Kevin & Anke! Clear golden with a lasting, big, frothy, white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of grain, green banana, ripe apricot, white bread, white sugar, yeast, pineapple. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, lots of pineapple & banana, very yeasty & bready with notes of white sugar, in combination with the fruitiness giving it a honey-like effect; light to medium grainy bitter then, a bit spicy with a sourish lemony edge, enduring estery & sugary character. Dry, grainy finish, bit grassy hoppy, lingering yeast, banana & pineapple. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Unconvincing Belgian Blond, yet another one!
