Bottle shared at the Get Kermis to 8k tasting. Pours very hazy brown with a medium cream head. Aroma of toffee, sweet malt, light herbs, plastercine, light floral notes and caramel. Flavour is over moderate sweet and light moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Pours unclear brown. Good white head. Smell is bit sweet, not very intense. Taste is bitter, sweet, some earthy, herbal. Bitterness builds quite high here. Coffee notes, almost, but not quite. More spicyness in the back, as well as the earlier mentioned earthyness, forest-in-the-fall. Lovely.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden yellow coour with a fairly large white head. Smells malts, some iron, nothing crazy. Tastes malts, slightly weird but I’m not sure what it is and it’s not even that unpleasant. Medium body, nice carbo.

Commissioned by CVO Elishout COOVI (described as a ’didactic restaurant’, in Brussels) but now brewed at the ’Proef’brouwerij and no longer at Achilles (so I assume there should be slight differences with the original version). Bottle from Bezoekerscentrum De Lambiek in Alsemberg. Medium thick, egg-white, moussy head with decent retention, over a warm ’old gold’ coloured beer, clear with lively sparkling, misty with deposit. Sweet aroma of raw pineapple, powder sugar, dry coriander seed, honey, banana, red apple, orange, cantaloupe, canned apricots, wet grass, iron, a vague hint of plastic and some bubblegum. Fruity onset, apple peel, white grape, peach, hint of banana, sweetish with a basic sourish edge and some citrus refreshment, medium carbonation, soft and supple mouthfeel with somewhat thinnish, lightly oily body, pale and lightly caramelly malt sweetness with honeyish touch all the way through the finish, where a light, grassy, bit peppery hop bitterishness brings balance and a trace of bittersweet, resiny coriander - I would have been more surprised had this ingredient, for once, not been used - clings a bit to the throat, but mildly so. Correct, decent and balanced, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, but it is, of course, just another simple Belgian blonde, which does not differentiate itself from litterally hundreds of others in the same style. Suits its purpose, but nothing to go hunting for.

Flaska från Beernavigator ca 2 år gammal. Bärnstensfärgad och klar med lågt skum. En maltsöt pjäs med karamelliga smaker, men också plommon, körsbärskärnor, fuktigt trämarsipan och en hel del alkoholvärme. Men balansen är helt okej och en jästig och lite örtig beska balanserar bra med en ganska torr avslutning som resultat. Trevlig.
