The latest one in Musketeers’ “bucket list series” to my knowledge, an ‘oaked blonde’, so a basic Belgian blonde ale flavoured with oak chips, I suppose. Can from Stacks, Sint-Andries. Thick and foamy, egg-white, lightly lacing, even and stable head on a crystal clear, deep orangey-tinged ‘old golden’ robe – clearly filtered… Aroma of wet toast, something lightly smoky (cigarette shag), dried apple peel, dry cotton cloth, green pear, grass, halfripe banana, unsugared chewing gum when warming up, dry tree branches (the oak chips, no doubt), tea, bitter garden weeds. Very clean and slick, sweetish with some dried apple peel and candied persimmon effects but subtly so, medium carbonated; very smooth, somewhat glueish mouthfeel. Simple and ‘thinnish’ cereally core with a light toasty-bitterish edge, the latter reinforced by a touch of tannic woodiness, but hardly an actual wood flavour, let alone that typical vanillin effect you get from oak; I wonder what wood has been used here… It adds a plain smoky element retronasally, reminiscent of burning paper or cigarette tobacco, creating a slight astringency in the finish. Grassy and even lightly wormwoody hops join in for bitterness and dryness, but everything remains remarkably slick, clean, superficial and ‘industrial’ – more so than I am used to even from the ‘new’ Musketeers. Reeks of wanting to imitate Palm’s popular Cornet beer, also an ‘oaked blonde’ – and equally boring and bland, to be frank. So if that was the intention, I guess they accomplished their mission…

Color ámbar intenso, turbia y con carbonatación visible. Generosa capa de espuma de buena retención.
Aromas intensos (cítricos y florales). En boca buena sensación, cuerpo medio y carbonatación que aporta cierto picor.
Sabores cítricos y herbales, acompañados del punto dulce del cereal. Final largo y amargo.
Muy buena cerveza, aunque la catalogaría como una Belgian IPA.

Bitter, typisch belgische ipa, matig

Fina y persistente capa de espuma blanco roto sobre cerveza turbia de color anaranjado. En nariz emite curiosas notas cítricas, mandarina, fruta escarchada, piel de naranja, yogur, piña... En boca tiene una acidez muy suave y un ligero punto dulce, la esperaba algo más agria para una cerveza de este estilo, no obstante me resulta agradable, algo afrutada con recuerdos de piña y cítricos, toquecito avinagrado muy sutil, ácido láctico, puntito de galleta...Rica, no esta mal.

Lovely beer, nice mild sourness mild hoppy ness. Fine enough beer. Bruges beer store
