New Boelens beer with wine added, made by a Flemish winery in Zottegem, Casa Grimaldi, which also commissions a blonde version (Grimaldie, elsewhere in this database). This is the ‘red’ version (“Grimaldie Rood”, so to speak), tasted from a bottle bought at Willems in Grobbendonk. Medium thick, off-white, opening and unstable head leaving behind some thin islands in the middle; lightly hazy, deep copper-hued amber robe with ruddy tinge. Aroma at first quite reminiscent of rosé wine, with additional notes of tea bags, candyfloss, fried red apples, iron, caramel, rosehip, dried apricot, dry clay, fig, raisin bread, glue and weird – probably largely phenolic – aromatic background notes of cough syrup and patchouli. Sweetish onset with a thin sourish edge which, with the necessary imagination, could indeed be compared with wine tartness, but only very faintly so; red apple, banana and apricot fruitiness, lively carbed, with a smooth-edged, bit resinous mouthfeel. Caramelly malt base with a sweet-nutty edge but a bit metallic too, leading to a herbal, still largely sweetish finish with rosehip and cough syrup accents as well as some rusty oxidation and again that vague rosé wine effect; hoppiness is of an earthy, herbal nature but offers very little bitterness, while the throat is gently warmed by gin-like alcohol. Weird, certainly among the most unusual Boelens beers I had to date, but interesting to their standards at least; there is indeed a clear ‘wine-esque’ feature to it. Too sweet for me though, and seemingly intended as a fruity, sweet ‘apéritif’ beer like there are more around in Belgium since several years.

Hazy blond beer, white foam. Nose of peach, white wine. Taste is refreshing, notes of grapes and wine, light body.

Old bottle @Bir&Fud Bottega (Rome). Ambrata/bruna, schiuma avorio leggera. Al naso note di caramello, frutta candida, sciroppo d'acero, spezie. In bocca è dolce, delicatamente speziata, monotona. Corpo medio, carbonazione medio-leggera. Ha retto abbastanza bene, ma risulta alquanto anonima.

Bottle, with a corporate label by Vanhoucke "Blummecke", I reckon it is just a relabel, many thanks to Max. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is honey, apple, light vanilla, custard, belgian yeast. Taste is vanilla, honey, red apples. Thick oily mouthfeel with high carbonation. Very sweet.
