9 March 2019. At De Heeren van Liedekercke. Shared with the lovely Anke! Pours hazy golden with a lasting, foamy, unstable, white head. Aroma of old apple, jenever, white bread, wet hay, lime, lychee, soap, farmland & cow fodder too. Taste is medium fruity sweet, notes of old apple & apricot, vague lychee; followed by a light grainy bitterness with wet hay, grass, some cow fodder too; all the while yeasty & bready with faint sourish (lime) notes. Dryish, floral & bit grassy hoppy finish, almost resinous, lingering yeast, hay, ripe fruit, some warming jenever-like alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Well, the hops do their work in the end, but I'm not fully convinced by its flavour.

Belgian 'streekbier' commemorating cyclist Lucien Buysse's victory in the Tour de France of 1926, steinie bottle from Willems in Grobbendonk. Light gusher, but manageable. Inches thick, rocky, plaster-like lacing, snow white, large-bubbled but extremely stable head on a 'metallic' but warm and deep 'old gold' beer, initially cristal clear with fierce sparkling sustaining the head, misty in the end when the sediment is added. Aroma of banana milkshake, apple cake, pineapple slices from a can, light coriander seed, meringue, white bread, dried flowers, wet paper, honey. Sweetish onset, banana ester but not over the top, notes of ripe pear and pineapple, souring and initially quite harshly stinging, very minerally carbonation calming down in the end, lean and supple body. Smooth pale malt sweetishness, white-bready with a thinnish layer of honeyish residual sugariness on top but nothing cloying, lingering banana and pear esters, gently drying finish with a floral, mild hop bitterishness, a touch of spicy coriander and a hint of glowing 'jenever'-like alcohol, but all remains well in place and well-contained. Technically very well made, I must admit, but conceptually yet another cliché, an accessible Belgian blonde in which the story behind it is larger than the actual taste.
