Bottle@ Zomerbar, Zottegem (Elene). Hazy yellow colour, white foam. Very dry, grassy and bitter beer. Notes of lemon peel. Very bitter but refreshing.

04/05/2018 @home - 33cl bottle from a trade with jerre. Hazy yellow, with creamy white head. Nose is malts, spices, hint of honey. Taste is malts, pretty fresh hops, honey. Taste is way better than I remembered from a previous tasting and than you would think of the aroma. not a lot of sweetness, even nice bitter hop aspects. Wonder if they ever changed the recipe.

12/01/2018 - 33cl bottle from a trade with jerre. Clear blond with big white head. Nose is a bit thin malts, some light hoppy. Sweet malty start, some corn, low hops, after a while low citrus and bitterhop comes out a bit more. All in all just a little better than commercial pilsners.

33 cl bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow. Small white head. Aroma is light fruity, toasted malt. Light caramelish. Mild fruity. Light phnolic. Toasted malt. Fruity. Mellow and slight fruity finish.

At Nationale Bierhappening in Zottegem. Stronger, spiced and apparently less hoppy version of their tripel, with coarse, egg-white, 'papery' lacing, thick and frothy head and misty peach blonde robe with ochre-ish hue. Aroma of white cardemom (actually used here), very strong but not unpleasant, even to a somewhat aniseed-like effect, next to the ordinary tripel features of banana, bubblegum, white bread, dried flowers, pear. Spritzy onset, fiercely carbonated, lots of banana ester and residual white sugary sweetness, ripe pear accent, minerally notes from the carbonation; full, rounded, bready malt body, honeyish due to the sugars, very strong retronasal 'ethereal' cardemom spiciness, mild spicy hop bitterish touch, lingering banana, phenolic cloves and a warming afterglow of gin-like alcohol, but not too wry. Quite alright, no technical flaws here, but you have to like sweet, boozy and very spicy tripels.

2/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle from a trade @ holidays - BB: VIII/2018, LOT 16238 (2017-1158) Thanks to Jerre for the trade!

Pretty cloudy blond beer, small creamy off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet, overripe banana, spicy touch, yeast. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: yeasty start, banana peel, little bitter, some citrus. Aftertaste: hoppy, lots of banana, bit spicy, yeast, some cloves, little sweet.

Bottle sampled at the Adam ’pants are optional’ tasting @tderoeck’s place. Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is weak. Some malts, mild esthers. Taste is sharp, bit bitter, fruity- but no esther overkill. Some hoparoma. Nice maltyness of white bread and dough, touch sweet, but in balance. OK MF and carbo.

Thank you tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ "Adam Chandler Visiting (for real this time)" Tasting. BBF 08/2017 so this a vintage bottle, probably 2015. Another BE blond beer brewed for some local organisation, this time from a contact brewery that I have never even heard of. Yay! Hazy golden, little white head. Nose is soapy industrial esters, grain, cleaning products, industrial products, almost grain alcohol. Taste is poor mellow grain alcohol, esters, sweet industrial grain, sweet oxidized grains,... High carbonation, alcohol, oxidized sweet malts. Not a fan.
