From tap at the brewery’s premises. Lovely old-fashioned pale ale (rather than just ’amber ale’ as it is classified here) resurrected by professor Delvaux at De Kroon. The man is a beer engineer striving for perfection and it shows: though essentially a pretty simple beer, this is well-crafted in all the details, without any flaw at all. It is a deep coppery amber beer with slight haze under a yellowish white, stable, sticky head; aroma of red apple, walnut, vanilla, melon, white candi sugar, strawberry, herbal hops. Soft and rounded fruity palate, subtle and utterly elegant, melon touch, nutty malts in the middle, ending in a lightly peppery hop bitter finish, long and dry. Delightful, at least fresh from tap, I have not yet tasted this from a bottle.

@Leuven, 25cl, 6.8%, Helder amber met witte kraag. aroma van basis pilsmouten en brett achtig zuurtje. Ook komt deze brett/fruit achtige zurigheid terug in de smaak; en dat kan ik erg waarderen, speciaal als het zo bedoeld is, lage bitterheid, zwak zoet, caramel, licht, lage co2, appel, licht hoppig, ietwat metalig, goede smaken maar de complexiteit uit de omschrijving haal ik er niet uit.

The blonde session ale by De Kroon, since 2013, tasted on tap at the brewery. Off-white, sticky, very stable head, colour a misty ochre blonde. Sweet fruity aroma, apple, apricot, rosemary, honey, vanilla, gingerbread. Soft fruitiness in the mouth, apple with citrus touch, refreshing, mellow breadiness in the middle with sweetish malts, light yeastiness, mild peppery and grassy finish. Originality clearly is not what is aimed at here, but I can very much appreciate the fact that this brewery, lead by a brewing professor, intends to brew its beers to technical perfection and subtlety - and this approach has worked very well in this one (and the others so far).

Tripel available at the reopened De Kroon brewery, now run by professor Delvaux, since 2013. Moussy, thick, yellowish, stable head, misty peach blonde colour. Refined fruity and delicately malty aroma, impressions of melon, banana, cinnamon, ripe peach, white pepper, orange peel, honey, mineral water. Velvety fruitiness in the onset, peachy and orangey, mellow caramel maltiness, light tingling yeastiness, subtle aromatic finish with herbal hops and spicy notes, medium long. A very well-balanced, refined and delicate, flawless tripel, I liked this very much, but I hadn’t expected anything less from beer professor Delvaux.

Bouteille 75cl @ RBBSG III. Dorée, blonde, léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme est houblonné, noble, bouquet malté typique, cara pâle, léger pils Palais malté, pâle, assez belge dans la levure, pointe épicée, houblonnée, léger fleuri. Fini sec sur bonne effervescence. Rien de bien spécial, et on retrouve une bière belge maintes fois revisitées.
