Bottle, 5%. Citric and nicely dusty aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Big stable creamy white head. The flavour is yeasty at first. Then comes a citric and lemony note. Watery finish but clean.

Flaska från Belgoklubben, tack Lasse. Disig gyllengul vätska med högt vitt skum. Doft av hö, jäst, gräs och örter. Rejäl kropp, torr, krispig, harzig ädelhumle, bra gräsig beska. Mycket gott

75 cl, bottle Belgoklubben. Semi hazy yellow, big fluffy head that dissipates slowly, leaving lots of lacings. Aroma is gentle, citrus, flowers, light bread. Taste is moderate bitter, complex yeasty, spicy phenolic notes, long dry finish. Medium carbo, small bubbles. Quite enjoyable.

10 April 2022. At 14de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!
Hazy orange, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of apple peel, pear, plum, straw, bread crust. Taste has sweetish apple & plum in a bready malt body, yeasty, bit spicy. Floral hoppy finish, bit grassy, dry-woody with a faint vanilla bean hint. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Pleasant enough.

Newish Vicaris beer, flavoured with flax, a crop very traditionally cultivated in the region where the brewery is situated so I guess, like Leroy's flax-less Vlasbier, this beer is to be seen as a kind of tribute to the local flax and linen industry; the only other beer I ever tasted that contained flax for the same reason, was Brouwersatelier's final opus, called Brew Mutation Omega, but in that one only (unbroken) linseed was used and had very little - if any - influence on the taste so this one might well be the very first in the world to actually use flax (stems and leaves) as is claimed on the label. Medium thick, firm, irregularly but consistently lacing, off-white, dense and stable head on an initially near clear, warm yellowish golden beer with lots of visible sparkling, turning misty and deeper apricot-tinged with sediment. Aroma initially dominated by strong carbon dioxide but once this fades, shifting to impressions of white bread crust, wholegrain crackers, freshly cut green garden weeds (the flax, I am guessing), drying mandarin peel from the hops, nutmeg, fresh green apple, slate and other minerally effects, dry straw, raw parsnip, green banana, white soap, grass, raw potatoes. Lots of effervescence in the onset, very minerally and stingy, distracting from the flavour; I pick up some green-fruity notes of unripe banana and green apple but little sweetness. Rounded, slick body, white-bready maltiness with a grainy core and indeed a certain soapiness and 'weediness' I think represents the flax; soon, however, the hops take over and block every refined detail that may be connected to the ingredient celebrated here, making for a long, rooty, floral, grassy bitter finish, drying but effectively quenching. Soapy and grainy notes linger, together with minerally effects and a brief but convincing nutmeg- and mildly clove-like spiciness; the label mentions citrus hops having been used here, but their aromatic character remains all but absent - this clearly was not dry-hopped and perhaps this was the better decision, if you want that flax effect to come through. For me, the flax adds a soapy, weedy character to the whole, but I cannot say I have eaten a lot of it - I have in fact never eaten any flax, like the vast majority of the population, so it remains conceptually difficult to convey flavour of something almost nobody on the planet knows the flavour of. In general, a drying, well-bittered, quenching blonde, but the soapiness of it did more bad than good for me and the flax effect, whatever it may be, is so subtle that it cannot alter the overall impression of having "just another Belgian blonde"...

Bottled 330ml (AIH147)
Golden/pale amber colour, small steady white head. Aroma has some fruits and yeast. Light-bodied. Crisp. Some spicey Belgian yeastyness and fruits. Quite boring although flavour is ok.
