Draft sampled at PINT Winterbier festival Gouda 2016. I guess that if you’re out of winter ale you’ll just pour a refreshing witbier instead! Pale golden with white head. Gumball galore, coriander, banana. Medium sweet. Body is on the light side of medium and carbonation is low.

Pint Winterbierfestival, Gouda 2016. Gedeeld met de ratebeer clan! wat de fuck doet dit op een winterbierfestival... vast het verkeerde fustje meegenomen..... gelig met witte kraag.aroma van koriander, fris, citrus, tarwe. smaken zijn waterig en dun, citrus, fris, banaan. matig zoet, licht bitter, zwakke body, aardige co2..

Tap at Winterbierfestival Gouda as ’Winterbock’ but it was super obviously a wrong keg. Hazy light straw with white head. Dough, corainder seeds, light lemon, banana yeast, light milky dough. Medium sweet and light bitter. Medium bodied with a bit creamy feel. Not very good, but a nice break between all these brown sugar winterbier bombs.

Bottle from a Deen supermarket. Medium thick, egg-white, moussy head consisting of tiny bubbles and slowly dissolving in the middle, over a hazy peach blonde beer with ochre hue. Rustic aroma of unripe gooseberry, wet paper, grapefruit peel, green banana, apple peel, freshly cut nettles, peach, strawberry, honey, dry earth, white grape peel, dust, old straw, dried flowers. Fruity onset, peach, redcurrant, pink grapefruit accent, sweetish and sourish, quite refreshing actually with a hint of dried orange peel, medium carbo adding a certain additional sourishness, smooth and lightly oily mouthfeel, pleasant honeyish and bready malt sweetishness with a caramelly edge under spicy phenols, leading to a drying finish of floral, earthy, spicy ’noble’ hop bitterness which is well matched with the persisting bready maltiness; this earthy bitterness is of medium duration and does leave a mild peppery flavour in the back of the mouth. Quite stereotypical Belgian blonde style beer tilted towards ’bitter blonde’; shows good balance of sweet, sour and bitter, too phenolic perhaps. Could have been worse.

On tap at PINT Bokbierfestival ’15. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of fudge, cocoa, some dark fruits, malts, light dusty. Flavour is medium sweet, soft, fudge, cocoa, light bitterness, light fruity, bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Decent.

Bottle split with 77ships post Van Moll fest. Dorée-orangée, col fin blanc. Arôme au bouquet malté basique, pils le tout sur la présence moyenne d’un houblonné noble apportant sa petite dose d’un léger citronné et fleuri. Palais est malté basique avec un profil râpeux et sec. Retrouve un côté végétale et légumineux pas trop plaisant avec au final un malté qui prend trop le dessus.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a murky straw colour with little life. The aroma is light citrus, light yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light yeast, zesty citrus hop palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hema, Culemborg. Hazy golden with a thin white head. Grainy aroma with some light hops. Sweetish taste. Not that exciting.
