Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Belgium, consumed at home 04-07-10 Pours hazy golden orange, aroma is a little pond weedy but there is a little sweetness. Soft in mouth a little bitterness and a sort of lager/pilsner type nod, its refreshing, finish is a little dry, very little spiciness and nice once in a while to encounter something at this strength.

Bouteille 33cl, de couleur dorée présentant une légère brume avec un col blanc. Arôme est houblonné, levure, herbacé allant vers la paille et la grange. En bouche, une bière qui au premier abord apparaît comme banale, mais qui en se réchauffant développe un palais intéressant et qui marie parfaitement un profile plus malt avec une fine amertume houblonnée. Cela reste donc une bière qui est axée sur le houblon pour une touche d’amertume qui se mélange avec une bonne teneur en levure belge (surtout en arrière-goût). Malt est léger et se développe au fur et à mesure de la dégustation, laissant place à des notes de caramel subtiles donnant parfois place à une touche de biscuit. Une carbonation moyenne, un palais sec avec fine note de sucre brun. Le fini est de grains secs avec le malt qui rajoute une touche qui fait que cette bière se démarque un peu d’une bière moyenne.

33cl bottle @ home. Clear yellow / golden color, average sized white, good lacing, fully diminishing head. Smell malts, earth. Taste malts, grains, lightly bitter and some yeast. Low to medium carbo and body.
