Commercial Description:
After the blond and brown version, the brewery made a third type of beer: the 'Bloesem Bink' (Blossom Bink). It’s a beer of high fermentation, unfiltered and not pasteurized, with secundary fermentation in the bottle. We brew this seasonal beer every year in the same period (spring-summer). The ingredients are: five types of malt, one belgian type of hop, brewing liquor, yeast, honey from Sint-Truiden and syrup of pears from Vrolingen. It tastes fruity with a lightly sweet character and a long fruity and bitter aftertaste. The alcohol content of this springbeer is 7,1% vol.alc.

33 cl bottle...poured ruby tinged amber w/ a fizzy off white head that settles rather quickly. The nose is sweet, floral, and has a touch of caramel. The flavor is malty, sweet, and fruity (raisins, caramelized pear, some sweet cherry). You can taste the honey more and more on each sip. The palate is fizzy and dry. There is sweetness up front accompanied by a some hop bitterness, but the sweetness is what hangs around. Overall a pretty tasty beer IMHO.
