3 May 2019. At Brouwbar, Ghent. Cheers to Pieter & Anke's birthday! Pours clear yellow with a lasting, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of yellow apple, pear, wheat, white pepper, apricot, white grape, ripe banana, indeed leaning towards bubblegum. Taste is medium fruity sweet, ripe apple & apricot mixed with quite a lot of estery banana, bready maltiness with bitter touches of apple peel, spices, pepper, and more sourish (lemony, wheaty even) towards the finish, which is dryish, slightly peppery hoppy, with lingering banana, apple & bread. Faintest dash of warming alcohol, somewhat sweetish sparkling wine-like. Medium body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Very accessible blond beer but more 'crafty' than anything else in the genre. Nice!

New Brouwbar beer deliberately intended to please the crowds, because designed as a standard Belgian blonde. Creamy, dense, thick, egg-white, stable head on a misty, somewhat ochre-tinged apricot blonde beer. Aroma of ripe banana, even some chewing gum, lots of ripe pear, yoghurt, white bread slices, raw turnip or parsnip touch, lemon candy, honey, apple, chalky accent, light sweaty note. Sweet onset with pronounced banana ester, bit bubblegummy but not obnoxiously so, strong pear and green apple impressions, slick and creamy, very smooth mouthfeel, relatively softly carbonated for the intended style, bit yoghurty with a subtle dash of sourishness of a seemingly lactic nature underneath a rounded, doughy, white-bready pale malt sweetishness; mild floral hop bitterness in the end with minerally accents (gypsum) and a touch of lemon zest, quite refreshing, but remaining sweetish and creamy till the end. The light sourish-yoghurty edge makes this blonde all the more interesting, as well as the green fruitiness it unveils; unremarkable perhaps in the whole of Brouwbar's range so far, but it does bear that typical Brouwbar stamp of cleanness and creaminess. Well made and refreshing, surely this beer will serve its purpose as a summer quencher well enough.
