Bloemen Bier

Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Lochristi, Belgium

Hazy darkish amber with a small but tight head. Strong, earthy countryside aroma of alcohol, pea soup, cow dung and flowers. Sweet-sugary-syrupy, malty flavor with toffee hints. Medium-bodied, syrupy, low-carbonated palate. Another brew spoiled with excess sugariness, and also too much alcohol in the nose. Smoother with yeast, but still too sugary.

Doughy nose, caramelly. Hazy copper-gold color with a foamy sticky head. Very sweet - sugar sweet. Slightly spiced. Heavy body, oils mouthfeel. Too sweet and one sided, but overall interesting.

Nice dark orange color, small fizzy head. Intense buttercup nose - some alcohol too. Sweet oh yeah - it is like sugar water with a bit banana, some oranges and that’s it. Too sweet for my liking.

Original bottling to say the least. White head on a dark yellow body. It was presented as a sweetish beer, and so it was! Too sweet to my taste, really, even as dessert beer. I guess it would be good for a hot siummer day, but I can’t think of any meal it would fit with. Anyway, drinkable but not among my favourites.

Great looks. Yellow dark color, light amber and hazy. Much loads and elegant. Dense and friable foam, very lively. Determined and warm scent. Notes of caramel, hay, grass and malt on the end. Elevated alcoholic perception, much powerful and solid. Light smoothly with an increasing bitter in the end.

Beer aromatized to the flowers alzalea, much complex and a lot structured. A very successful experiment.

Bottled. Great looks: clear orange/amber, beige frothy almost creamy lasting head, very nice lace. Aroma of sweet citrus, honey and light spices. Inmense sweet but not sugary sweet or annoying. More like honey or fruit. Perfume, flowers. Thick and little syrupy mouthfeel. This really is a beer for the sweettooths among us.

Nice wrapped bottle, Blond;soft carbonation; yeasty aroma with a parfume of flowers; sweet tast with an average finish
