2/II/19 - 37.5cl bottle @ Brugs Bierfestival, BB: n/a - (2019-149) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing todays' beers!
Clear dark brown beer, creamy dense beige head, little stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: ripe banana, some vanilla, brown sugar, yeast, more overripe banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bah, that's not a very pleasant beer, tastes like dead yeast, unpleasant bitterness, some cooked vegetables, soft roast. Aftertaste: unpleasant, dry, yeasty, some banana, tannins maybe?

Pretty clear deep red to rusty light brown beer, nice pink creamy head, non adhesive. Aroma: cherries, but in a weird way, bit rotten, funky, sourish, lactose, quite some diacetyl. MF: no carbon, light body. Taste: pretty dry start, slightly sourish, bitter notes, quite some tannins, yoghurt notes, more unpleasant bitterness. Aftertaste: dry, tannins, cherry skins, bit sourish, bitter finish, diacetyl and yoghurt again.

The ordinary blonde in this series, bottle from Dranken De Moor. Regularly shaped, egg-white, moussy, membrane-lacing head over misty straw blonde – pale golden beer with vague greenish tinge. Aroma of ripe banana, sweet red apple, old coriander seed, white bread slices, bubblegum, some powder sugar, turnip juice. Sweetish banana ester in the onset but not over the top, some pear and pineapple, light bubblegummy effect, supple and lean mouthfeel with medium carbonation; ‘white bready’ malt body, light residual sugariness, dusty-spicy coriander seed accent but remaining subdued, floral camomile-like hoppiness adding a soft bitterishness while a mild bready yeast touch appears and malt and estery sweet aspects subtly linger. Very subtle even for a stereotypical Belgian blonde, adds absolutely nothing to the Belgian beer landscape but at least it is brewed completely correctly.

F: medium, tan, average retention. C: dark brown, some red against the light, bit hazy. A: malty, chocolate, caramel, bit fruity. T: fruity, caramel, dark fruits, banana, bit dark cherries, bit chocolate, so-so beer, medium body and carbonation. Sample shared with tderoeck, 77ships and Bierridder_S @ Bruges Beer Festival 2018.

04/02/2018 - small glass shared with tderoeck, 77ships and rubin77. Brown, small lacing. Nose is grainy, bit cowfodder, caramel. Taste is a mess too. What a pity but hey, I've had all their beers now.

04/02/2018 - small glass shared with tderoeck, 77ships and rubin77 @BAB, Bruges. Clear blonde, small lacing. Nose is typical blonde but something unpleasant. Taste is sweet, malty, yeast. Way too sweet even for a blonde.
