Bottle. Pours clear golden, medium creamy white head, dissipates slowly, great lacing. Aroma is greasy, Belgian yeast, coriander, field head, pepper, grain, honey, light dust. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. Not at all bad.

Belgian blonde with allspice ('Jamaican pimento') for a local club. Initially very thick and foamy, irregularly lacing, snow white head, but quickly receding and opening, until an irregular ring around the glass remains; lightly hazy deep and warm 'metallic' golden robe, an 'old gold', with very fierce, champagne-like sparkling throughout, more deeply misty but equally 'sparkly' with sediment added. Aroma of ripe banana, sweetbread, dough, meringue, candy apple, pear, indeed very obvious ethereal allspice hovering over it all (anise-, cicely- and lavender-like, bit bath foam- and even cough syrup-ish generally speaking), bread crust, pineapple, bubblegum, fennel. Fruity, sweetish onset with sourish undercurrent, accents of banana, pineapple and ripe pear, something ripe nectarine-like as well but very subtly so, lively but 'refined' carbonation, slick mouthfeel, light and elegant white-bready malt sweetness with a layer of residual white candi syrup sugariness on top, very honeyish effect seamlessly connecting with the sweet-and-ethereal, perfumey allspice factor at the back, rising up strongly retronasally but adding a soapy note to the finish as well. The finish bears a pleasant late but spicy, earthy hop bitter note, while that bath foam- and cough syrup-like effect of the allspice as well as banana ester sweetness remain. Technically more or less correct, but way overspiced in a not very classy, old-fashionedly Belgian and crude way. Allspice, like coriander seed and other spices, can surely add a touch of complexity and additional bouquet in certain beers, but then the effect should be much more subtle. Still, as a sweet and simple Belgian blonde that goes down easily, I suppose the Ertegemse Trekkers will not complain about this too much...

Bottle. Dark brown color. Butter, malt and toffee in the aroma. Malty sweet, caramelly flavor. Low on carbon. Hints of licorice. Almost full bodied. Laurel. Pleasant brew.

Bottle made by Proef in Lochristi. Blonde. Floral and citric hops, yeasty notes and dust in the aroma. Yeasty soft hopbitter flavor with citrus. Yeasty aftertaste with vanilla.

Pour is a ugly river water brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a decent brown sugar and molasses. Flavor is again a decent black molasses with some sugar and graham cracker. There was a ton of junk that came out of the bottle so this may be a bit old but it does have a nice dubbel malty and dark fruit sugary flavor. Probably another year with this and it will start to turn to a vinegar bomb.

MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: oxidized start, sweet, honey, orange peel, bit malty, sugary, some ripe banana.
