Description
Brouwerij Betsy brouwt biertjes met een duidelijke link naar onze favoriete gemeente Bredene.
Betsy verwijst naar het standbeeld van kunstenaar Irénée Duriez, dat we op het Duinenplein terugvinden. ‘De wind’ wordt in de volksmond ‘Blote Betsy’ genoemd, naar de toenmalige Bredense politica Betsy Ingelaere. Van de kunstenaar kregen we toelating om het silhouet van het beeld te gebruiken op ons glas en bieretiket.
Na menig testbrouwsel, brouwde hij het bier aanvankelijk in de gloednieuwe brouwerij Bram’s Brewery. Per brouwsel produceerden we 5 hl. Daar de vraag groter werd dan wat Jürgen daar kon brouwen, worden zowel de Blonde Betsy, de Betsy Brunette en de Betsy Tripel nu vervaardigd in The Brew Society. Daar brouwen we 50 hl per brouwdag!!!

Gushing to huge, dense, yellowish head, with lots of lace, over clear metallic copperish-golden beer. Caramel, toasted malts, "beery" nose, bit dried herbs, but generally sweet. Light bitterish-herbal notes on top of caramelly malt, sweetish to sweet. Finish has again a bitterish surge. Very light burning feel, bit slick. Aftertaste is lacklustre, indifferent. Nothing special. Thanks to B & T! --- Beer merged from original tick of Blonde Betsy on 16 Jan 2022 at 09:18 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5.

12/IV/18 - 33cl bottle @ Katie & Kevin's place - BB: n/a (2018-370) Thanks to Katie and Kevin for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, big creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of banana, bit spicy, floral, more spices, some cloves, bit malty. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: spicy, soft bitterness, banana, some cloves, soapy touch. Aftertaste: spicy, hay, dry finish, some banana, rather boring Belgian style, but brewed correctly. Another "crowd pleaser".
