Pale golden colour, a bit of hazyness, small white head. White grapes, pale malts in the nose. Light-bodied. Active carbonation. Fruity Belgian yeasty flavour, light spiceyness. Quite traditional Belgian pale ale.

Het Anker bought the deconsecrated church of Battel (a village near Mechelen) in early 2022 and now uses it as a playground for more small-scale brewing experiments as well as liquor and lemonade production; this Battelaar is their most basic beer I guess, an ordinary Belgian style blonde. From a can bought online. Thick and foamy, egg-white, moussy head, lacing in shreds over a hazy straw-yellow blonde beer with pale beige-ish tinge. Aroma initially dominated by prickly carbon dioxide but once this fades, offering impressions of banana, Doyenné pear, white bread crust, soapy coriander seed, raw sweet potato, dried flowers, grass, clove, vague nutmeg and honey. Sweet-fruity onset, estery notes of banana, pear and green melon with a very thin but structurally important sourish undertone, reinforced by very lively carbonation; supple white-bready and cereally pale malts with a thin layer of residual ‘white’ sugariness on top (even a tad aspartame-like at a certain moment), but the aforementioned sourish undertone provides some balance. Softly spicy, soapy coriander shows up in the end right before a mild floral hop bitter note announces the end, but residual sugars and banana isoamylacetate maintain the upper hand. Easygoing, ‘commercial’ blonde like we have thousands of in Belgium already – an every man’s friend, so to speak, but not unpleasant to drink and technically correct.
