Dark blond colour with thin lacy head. Obviously floral elements and a certain candy sweetness. Nice mouthfeel. Surprisingly good.

Hazy blond colour, white foam. Nose of ginger ale, sweet malt. Taste is sweet, ginger ale, fruity, light hoppy bitter.

Keg at taphuys. Pours hazy golden, nose is mango, citrus, taste is sweet, toffee.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 30A: elderflower / 25A adapted: low alcohol). Can 33 cl - Batch 15908:36 (BB: 06/25). AROMA: medium-high floral and citrusy aroma (elderflower, cherry blossom, lychees, lemon), followed by a medium-low to low neutral, bready background. APPEARANCE: pale yellow color and slightly hazy. meidum-low white head with medium retention. TASTE: initial medium elderberry, cherry blossom floral flavor, followed by low citrusy notes (lemony). medium-low bready and slightly sweet and yeast background. medium bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish. PALATE: medium-low to low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: the typical belgian blond ale notes are almost absent but the additions make this (low-alcohol) beer very fragrant and enjoyable.

Clear golden with floaties. Aroma is light lime and coriander with ginger ale and fruity malty base. Taste is fresh sour lime with light malty sweetness at first. Then a really powerful ginger spice is coming and annihilating any other flavour. Long spice finish. Kind of fun experiment but obviously not that great. Reminds me of a certain Vietnamese beer (rooster ginger).

Pretty solid saison actually. Clean, neat, to style. Not much “pomme” to it. Just well made light and drinkable. Wildeman ams

Small yellowish white head over cold hazed yellow golden beer, finely carbonated. Faint herbal aroma, I seem to get some mineral notes. Citrussy for sure, but not hoppy in any way. Faint sweet bread initially in the oral cavity. Again a tad mineral, and a whiff of faintly sourish citrus... but that's it. Remarkably devoid of flavour. Well, carbonation gives some flavour and a bit sparkling feel. Appropriate light body. Come on!! With the addition of the kelp, this might have opened new ways in taste... and all that remains is a demurely flavoured sparkling water. Missed chance. Txs to Stef!

Elderblossom-flavoured blonde by these brewing sisters in Amsterdam, with pink label depicting flowers which are definitely not elderblossom flowers; longneck bottle from an Albert Heijn supermarket. Thick and frothy, cobweb-lacing, regular, firm, pillowy head on an initially clear, warm and deep 'old golden' beer with almost pale amberish tinge and some visible sparkling, turning into a hazy orangey peach with sediment. Perfumey aroma of sweet red apple, even a touch of strawberry, fragrant spring blossoms which I assume is applied by the elderblossom though missing that typical 'cheesy' effect they often have - instead coming closer to the sweet Ghent elderblossom drink called Roomer, damp and dirty kitchen towel annoyingly persisting in the background, some light candyfloss, banana peel, brioche bread dough, overripe pear, hints of clove, sugared chamomile tea, Roosvicée, rosehip, blackcurrant jam, valerian, wet clay. Fruity, sweet onset, but nowhere cloyingly sweet, rather ripe-fruity sweet with impressions of red apple, pear and strawberry, even some melon; medium carbonation, supple and slick mouthfeel. Perfumey and flowery elderblossom sweetness hovers over a slender pale malt sweetish core with light caramelly edges here and there, but the sweet floweriness of it reminds me more of a blossoming Japanese cherry tree than elderblossom; a clay-ish minerality and something reminiscent of dough turned 'off' join in as well. The sweetness is consistent but does not become sugary anywhere - instead it maintains this melony, blossomy, near-honeyish character, in the end making (some) room for a mildly spicy, bit earthy and slightly leafy hop bitter element drying the finish. The blossomy and strawberry-ish sweet perfumes linger retronasally while the back of the mouth is dried and spiced by the hops - a contrast I do not usually appreciate very much, but here it seems to work quite well. Sweet red fruit continues, but it does not become artificial or severely boring. I know I should not say this anymore in this day and age, but this is a very 'feminine' beer, even if it were brewed by men; it is flowery, blossomy, happy and elegantly sweet, though not too sweet. Decent spring beer indeed - but turn up the sweetness only one notch and you can count me out; meanwhile this 'dirty' kitchen towel aroma kept bothering me all the time as well. These lovely ladies could do with a bit more technical perfection as the idea is not bad at all, it just deserves a more 'pure' and focused execution. Not my cup of tea entirely, but enjoyable for what it is - I guess I was expecting worse based on the premise and the somewhat naive pink label...
