Flesje thuis gedronken. Goudgeel troebel bier met stevig wit schuim. Geur van mout. Smaak als een doorsnee pils, beetje moutig met iets van fruit dat te lang heeft gelegen.

Thanks for sharing! Sampled 750 ml. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival 2017. Ugly murky brown amber, tanned head. Nose is soapy esters, chemical, plastic berries. Taste is soap plastic, chemical, oddly fish guts, plastic berries, nope to the fish guts & plastic berries, soap body, plastic, chemical. Not my thing. It sounded cool on paper.

Spiced Belgian blonde summer ale, sampled at Stefan's Single Trip Tasting, from a 75 cl bottle. Thin, off-white, moussy 'ring' of a head, hazy orangey peach blonde robe. Aroma of peach, sweet field flowers, celery (probably just the grapefruit), white bread, lemongrass indeed, freshly cut red apples, sweat, very noticeable 'ethereal' ginger, honey, orange peel (the actual orange), sweaty hint, raw potato. Fruity onset, red apple, pear and pineapple, sweetish with a sourish hint, medium carbonated, smooth mouthfeel. Cereally, rounded, 'white' bready malt middle with lingering honeyish sweetness on top; more and more obvious ethereal spiciness towards the end, unmistakable yet sweet-tilted ginger (rather than the raw, uplifting spiciness of actual ginger root), sweetness of orange flesh but in a 'dim' kind of way, spicy hop bitter note at the back, lingering cereally malt sweetishness. Relatively easygoing in spite of all the added ingredients, which, all things considered, behave rather courteously instead of tyrannizing the whole beer as I had feared; sweet and spicy for sure, but quite elegant and refreshing as well. Correct beer within the spiced Belgian ale context, expected much worse, I can see myself drinking more than one of these on a hot summer's day.

Thanks to Kraddel! Sampled bottled @ Modeste 2017. Dark brown amber. Nose is oxidized sweet syrupy leaves, spices, raisin, strange soap. Taste is strangely sweet, soap, varnish, Christmas spices, vague low peat. Body is soap, sugar, Christmas spices. Okay why is a beer with seaweed & Ardberg BA this sweet & Christmas-y? Seems like they tuned it way too down looking for balance.
