Bottleworks Bangelijk Blonde

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden body with a fluffy white head. Floral and earth y tones, light citrus and moth character, a bit oxidized but still has some nice spiced notes and a hint of honey. Good brew.

Bonus bottle, 330ml. from Ben, Suzy Greenburg, thanks dude. Pours cloudy golden with a nice stable puffy bright white head. Nose is quite nice and fragrant with vinious notes, some floral notes and all in all very appealing. Taste is similarly vinous with something i can’t pu tmy finger on but i’ve definetly tasted it before. Nice blond.

Pours a cloudy mild yellow with a thick, pillowy head. Aroma has honey, hops, sweet malts and grape juice. OOh! Flavor is a pleasant surprise - it’s actually quite flavorful, and has a rich, velvety texture that I really enjoy. Heavier malts come through, lots of grain with some bitterness from the hops, some light caramel and not-quite-ripe fruits. Not a style I seek out, but this is nice!

330 mL bottle. Clear golden with a thick, frothy head. Aroma is fresh-baked bread with some spice. Good creamy mouthfeel, flavor is pretty subdued, characterized mostly by a yeasty spiciness. Pleasant mildly bitter finish.

330ml bottle, bottled 2004, with thanks to Enniskillen for the great bonus! Pours a clear light golden with a large fluffy bright white head, very good retention and lacing. Aroma is mellow ripe fruits, some spicy yeast, golden raisin, maybe some under ripened banana too. Flavor is more mellow fruits, spicy yeast and light raisin/banana. Not overly complex, but elegant and enjoyable. Thanks again Chris!

Hazy yellow-golden with an incredibly nice, creamy, staying, white head. Sweet aroma, very malty, some banana and light rubbery notes - some coconut as well. Great, creamy mouthfeel, mild carbonation. Flavour is yeasty and malty, some caramel and biscuity malts. Super aftertaste with notes of hay, citrus, grainy and some light oxidized notes. Dry and fulfilling.
