Buitenlust Dubbel

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

This was disappointing after its companion beer, the Totentrekker. Buitenlust is a strong blonde for those with a sweet tooth. Looks nice with a lacy, fluffy head, translucent gold. Medium-strength aroma of yeast with notes of apples, citrus and wet dust, and a touch metallic. Quite sweet from start to finish, slightly alcoholic at the end. Medium to thin body. Light bitterness with some barely detectable spicing beneath all that sugar. Some notes of apricot, rum, and again, metal. We had to dig out some salty snacks so we could finish the bottle.

Bottled. Thanx oh6gdx. Hazy golden in color, bubbly and foamy white head. The aroma is fruity and alcoholic. The flavour is a bit on the alcoholic side.

Bottlw. Clear medium orange, yeast particles, with a average to large frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, light hoppy, citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is lively.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is strong alcohol along with yeast, malts and some caramel. Flavour is alcohol, metal and some slight caramel malts. Out of balance and really weird.

Amber colour, huge yeast particles, nice stable creamy head. Citric hoppy aroma, orange peels, light sugar. Initial light sweet orange flavour with some bitterness, more hoppy finish but with some sulphur.

Bottle. It will be soon availlable on draft so looking out for the festival of Vygthe on 3 and 4 june. Very nice beer. Now i have tasted also the draft version. A very nice taste. The only blond double i know for the moment

33 cl bottle, bottled in Nov 07??? (it’s Apr 07 now) Light amber with a fine cloudiness and a rich, persistent, white froth. Aroma of honey, hay, flowers, spice. Sweet, full, round taste with a fair hint of fruit candies - apricot (let’s try our luck). A gentle peppery aftertaste. Syrupy, sticky. It’s a long time ago I tasted their Bloemenbier...?

Pale blonde, hazy, frothy head. Honeyish aroma with flowery hops. Also loads of flowery hops in teh flavor. Rather citric with pineapple. Oily mouthfeel. Long citric hoppy aftertaste. Delicious!
