Waarom die badkuip?
Welja, om tot bij een lekker bier te eindigen spraken we een aantal professionals in ’t vak… Ervaren brouwers met liefde voor het vak die ons op de juiste weg hebben gezet om recept 31 verder te verfijnen en op de markt te brengen. Van hen hebben we geleerd dat zij de term “badkuipbrouwers” wel al eens gebruiken om te verwijzen naar mensen zoals wij, de hobbybrouwers… Als eerbetoon aan hen die ons bij de opstart hebben geholpen, maar ook omdat we ’t gewoon een toffe naam vinden zijn wij dus: “badkuipbrouwers”!

Very huge, cream to tan head, stable, over red highlighted dark brown beer. Bit soupy (coriander?), chicory, dark malts with melanoidins, breadcrust, plywood. All the above, bit dry onset followed by dark candi sugar; cardboard. Warming up more chocolatey. Quite well-bodied, more than slick, very well-carbonated. Decent without more. Txs to Stef!

The blonde from this still very young Flemish microbrewery, from the utterly predictable standard Belgian triangle blonde-dark-tripel they created so far (yawn). Thick and frothy, snow white, membrane-lacing, stable and pillowy head on a hazy yellow golden beer with apricot tinge. Aroma of brioche bread, ripe red apple, field flowers, banana, old potatoes, strawbales, dry tree leaves, dandelion, moist white pepper, a whiff of iron in the background (ferrous spring water). Fizzy onset, initially overcarbonated even for a basic blonde, but this calms down after a while, unveiling fruity notes of banana, hard pear and unripe melon, remaining fairly restrained in sweetness for this style. Fluffy, smooth white-bready malts, a tad doughy in their core but with a sharper grainy edge, gradually bittered by a long, earthy, wormwoody hoppiness which lasts for a long time, becoming peppery and even quinine-like in the end, reinforcing the overall dryishness of this beer. Earthy, dry, quenching blonde, almost saison-ish; its hop bitter element is more strong and daring than I am used to from a plain Belgian blonde and was a very pleasant surprise. There is a lot worse in this segment, so this beer, no matter how cliché and 'oubollig' its very concept and name are, was altogether much better than I was expecting - maybe I should try the dark and the tripel versions too, after all.

Bottle from LDW. Hazy amber colour, white foam. Light citrussy, sweet, a bit fruity, yeasty banana. Ok, nothing outstanding.
