Commercial Description:
HELLEKAPELLE from Brouwerij de Bie is an unusual pale ale with a straw color, hoppy aroma, light to medium body and clean malty flavor. It's bitterness that starts in the middle of the palate and dominates through to the finish comes from Poperinge hops, wonderful thirst quencher.

Bottle at L’Atelier in Brussels. Pale blonde with thin white head. Zesty nose with sharp lemon and passion fruit notes... interesting. Flavor is very lightly sweet, mildly bitter, with slightly tart tang and lively carbonation. Very refreshing, great summer beer.

Bottle @ Plan-B, Copenhagen. BB 06/06. Pours hazy golden with nearly no head or lacings. Aroma is vinous, white wine, fruity & slightly dusty. Mouldy, cellar & citric taste. Def. over the top!

In short: A light fruity and tart Belgian ale marred by some chemical/plastic flavours
How: Bottle, 330ml, about 3 months old or so.
The look: Cloudy yellow body with a medium white head
In long: Banana bread with pineapples and a little lemon. A light but bothersome plastic flavour. A not so pleasant chemical-like acidity. Some spicy flavours (ginger and such). A bit dry. This beer has a few things going for it but it’s got some serious problems too, at least the bottle I drank did. Hellishcrappy Artisanal Belgian Blond.

Bottle. Spiced orange aroma - like Gluehwein/mulled wine. Hazy golden amber color with giant white head. Sweet-sour musty lemon malt flavor - moderate acidity. Saison-like - very nice.
