Pale yellow colour with fluffy white head. It's a decent blond. Slightly malty and yeasty. The sea salt is just about detectable. Perhaps it helped keep the sweetness down increasingly the drinkability.

Thick, dense, lightly yellowish stable head over lively carbonated yellow beer. Dusty, chalk, not much nose around. Dry, grainy, grassy; neutral main taste but certainly not weak in flavour. Finish has some distinct bitterness. Feels very carbonated, slick, and rather thick MF for its 7%. Ho-hum. Not bad, but thirteen to the dozen. Thanks to Barbara and Tim!

Huge, dense, pale tan head over dark orangey brown beer. Rich, bready, melanoidin-laden nose. Dark malts, wood. Bit vinous first impression, strangely. Again dark bread, (ply)wood, liquorice, melanoidins. Not very lively, uniformly steady flavour. Sweetish, caramel. Medium bodied, slick, somehow somewhat watery. Got some quite good first impression upon tasting, but after that, it only went down. Thanks to Barbara and Tim for giving!

Bière 33 cl. La bouteille n'est plus la même et elle est désormais à 8° mais ça semble bien être la même, la recette a sans doute évolué. Robe brune à reflets rouges. Nez caramel. Bouche sur le malt grillé, notes de cafe et amertume en fin de bouche. Pas très intense mais sympa. (M)

Biere bouteille 33 cl, couleur blonde pale, mousse blanche peu persistante, goût léger, légérement acidulé, rien d'incroyable.

33cl bottle (as Coast Blond, brewed by Browerij Anders for Wenbrew): BB 22nd Nov 2020. Poured into a Chimay challis at home on 20th June 2019. Slight haze to the golden body. smooth white blanket of foam on top. Aroma holds that 'Belgian yeasty' goodness with a light floral twist. The taste is also Belgian style yeast first (is there such a thing?) with a fruity twang. There is a dry body feel throughout with a citrus like tartness in the finish.

11/08/2018 - 33cl bottle @tderoeck's place. Light yellow, small white head. Nose is malts, bit fruit, hint of ctirus. Taste is malty, hint of lemon, low bitterness. Not great, but all in all not bad for a clear glass bottle beer.

11/VIII/18 - 33cl bottle, shared with the famous Bierridder @ home - BB: 24/IV/19 (2018-969) Thanks to my dad for the bottle!

Clear pale yellowish beer, small creamy irregular white head, unstable, falls down quickly, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, bit fruity, some citrus. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, malty, some citrus notes, little sweet touch. Aftertaste: some grapefruit, lemony, soft bitterness, bit malty.

Belgian blonde cultivated for the municipality of Wenduine at the Belgian seaside, from a stubby bottle bought online - but with an entirely different (blue) label than shown here. Since the back label mentions "Wenbrew" and ABV is the same, I guess this is the very same beer as rated by my colleagues below, but it must have received a different style of labelling meanwhile. Tightly but irregularly 'papery' lacing, egg-white, medium thick head remaining completely closed for quite a long time, atop an initially cristal clear, pure golden blonde beer with slightly 'old gold' hue, becoming misty with sediment (eventually with actual 'clouds' of yeast floating throughout the remainder of the beer). Aroma of chewing gum (and banana), rotting grass or even lettuce, onion jam, verripe pineapple, stewed turnip, old potato mash, spoiled vegetable soup, old coriander seed, soggy white bread or non-sugared muesli, pear, slightly medicinal phenols and - alas - a whiff of overcooked cauliflower (probably DMS), which however remains very much in the background and vanishes in the end. Estery onset, banana ester as expected but hinting at cooked pear and overripe pineapple as well with a sourish rhubarb-like touch to it, sharply (over)carbonated, minerally, fizzing, with a somewhat soapy mouthfeel. Sweetness lingers a bit but not cloyingly so, something thinly honeyish remains draped over a cereally, muesli-like, 'white' and thinly bready malt backbone, leading to an unsatisfying finish of ongoing malt sweetishness and fruitiness gently bittered by a grassy, bit herbal hoppiness as well as a soapy coriander accent, which lingers even beyond the hops. Ends soapy, sweetish, minerally and grassy bitter - like countless other Belgian blondes. I can see this functioning at the Belgian shore, served ice cold to unsuspecting tourists, but other than that, this does not seem to make any significant contribution to the Belgian beer map. I seize the opportunity to recommend those tourists, provided any of them would ever read this, to not give this beer the chance to warm up under a burning sun in the heydays of summer - because this brew's little flaws will become all the more apparent then. This is one of those Belgian brews created only for the purpose of making money - point off for that, this is exactly the tradition Belgium should get rid of, if it wants to keep playing an important part on the international beer scene. On a more positive note, though: they haven't been too mingy with the hops, as it does end quite pleasantly bittering.
