De Bie Hellekapelle
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.

Bouteille 33 cl couleur blonde avec fines bulles mousse qui ne tient pas beaucoup, odeur fruitée, agrumes, goût floral, agrumes, léger sur l’alcool, se laisse boire facilement
Wazig goudblond bier met dunne witte schuimkraag. Geur: moutzoetig, kristalsuiker, gistkarakter. Smaak: wat moutzoetig, wat gistkarakter, eigenlijk redelijk neutraal. Romig mondgevoel. Matige koolzuurprikkel.
Bottle shared. Very hazy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma of herbs, yeast, light fruits, spicy notes, gravy and cloves. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
33cl bottle shared with Kermis at the "Disaster, Trump will be president" tasting :-(
Thick white head. Very hazy golden pour. refreshing
Dobry blegijski Ale. Piana wiadomo, gigantyczna i bardzo trwala. Kolor jasny srednio metny. Slodowy smak z lekka nuta goryczki. Zbozowo slodowe glownie to piwo, delikatne i lekkie piwio, dosc nietypowy ciezar jak na Belgie.
Blonde houblonnée "brassée avec amour"dit le brasseur .. On ne veut rien savoir de ses aventures
avec la sorcière de la chapelle … Ceci ne nous regarde pas, mais notre verre de bière, oui.
Niveau abv de 5 %, 100 % naturel (c’est déjà mieux que "bio", et puis ça fait un peu comme la
sorcière qui va récolter ses plantes à la tombée de la nuit …).
Couleur doré moyen très brillant, à la clarté pure.
Bulles très fines, par milliers, partout, très joli.
Mousse blanc cassé, très épaisse, très crémeuse, stable à 8 mm.
Arômes de malt, houblon fleuri, farine au moulin, paille de blé.
1ère bouche souple à l’entame nettement inférieure au nez, pas très harmonieuse.
Arrière-bouche un peu simple, tournant vers la pils supérieure.
2ème à l’ensemble un rien mieux, mais on ressent un "vide" important.
Arrière-bouche guère plus haute.
Longueur à l’amalgame un peu meilleur.
Jambes à flocons fins, assez collantes.
Levure douce, simple mais correcte.
Alcool peu efficace sur l’ensemble, mais il est présent en soutien.
Finale plus maltée et équilibrée.
CONCLUSION : une sorte d’imperial pils .. La sorcière a accouché dans une chapelette ...
Lichtgeel en nevelig bier met kleine witte kraag. Kruidig, sinaasschil, kruidnagel. Bitterzoet. Ok.
Blonde légèrement trouble, collet epais et de belle tenue.
Une attaque fruité sur les agrumes contre-balancée par un côté floral assez marqué.
Assez courte et mince mais elle ne fait que 5%...
Really quite misty, okay looks at best. Bready, orange, cereal, flowery, medicinal, golden malts. Active carbonation, mildly bubbly. Taste is not as sweet alcoholic as expected, but still a bit unimaginative. (33cl bottle from ABS Drinks)
Muy muy pálida, y bastante turbia, con un aspecto de humo. Dos dedos de espuma. Aroma muy plano. De las cervezas más metálicas que he probado. Textura muy suave, pero el metal se come todo. Mala.
Bottle at a bar. Poured a clear yellow to more golden colour with a white head. Nose of fresh citrus, malts, wheat, bitter floral hop, Peach, bit of a watery mouthfeel, yeast, lactose kind of feeling. Refreshing but kind of boring
Helder geel bier zonder schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en fris met sporen van citrus. Goed bier.
Clear yellow colour, with a small white head and some lace. Funky smell of tropical fruits, spices, maybe clove or pepper, bananas. Medium body, carbonation good enough. Taste is fruity, spicy, some citrus. You think it has more alcohol than it really does. Very good.
33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg
Clear dark yellow with a big white head. Fruity spicy aroma with some yeast. Lively carbonation which works well with the pleasant hopbitterness. Unexpected nice beer.
330ml bottle from Racine, Cassel. Pours slightly hazy gold with white head. Nicer than expected Flanders helles with an underlying yeastiness. Some mild hops. On the whole not bad.
Bottle 0.33l from De Hopduvel beer shop Ghent Belgium.Pour it yellow colour with small white head.On the nose white wine.Taste and aroma of citrus, bread,Belgian Yeast and touch of Chardonnay flavour.
Bottle. Pours a Pilsener color, hazy / flaky sediment at the end of the bottle. Aromas are grass, citrus, koriander, cheese. Taste starts sour, coppery. Subsequent sips are pilsener like, but with a subtle bitter undertone. Little watery. I get a taste of sellery, onions. Some cheese in the aftertaste. Good substitute for a pilsener, quite refreshing. Would pair well with a fish meal or salad such as nicoise.
Blonde session ale since 1994, with snow white, thick head and deep golden blonde colour with orangey hue, hazy. Citrussy and fruity aroma of pale malts, orange peel, apple, pepper, yeast, some solvents too. Malty onset with fresh sourish citrus, finish mildly hoppy. Make sure to get this as fresh as possible: I had a few infected ones too, with mouldy aroma and / or lactic acid in the taste.

Helder goud blond, mooie volle schuimkraag. Neus: lichte toest van gist, licht zurig. Maar vervallen 5/2012. Aftertaste: old bottle effect. have to re-rate this
Regular Belgian blond beer. Bit more hoppy and bitter than usual perhaps. And the Poperinge hops are always nice.
Tasted at the Den Dyver restaurant in Bruges. Creamy White full lasting head. Deep Golden colour. Aroma is malty with fruity (apricot, pear, apple) and herbal notes. Flavor is malty too with fruity (citrus, orange peel, apricot) and light spicy tones, ending in a moderately hoppy finish. Light bodied.
Bouteille 33cl, dorée léger trouble, col blanc fin.
Arôme fruité tirant sur le houblonné suivi d’un léger côté herbacé.
Palais reste léger, note de levure, restant très belge dans son profil général. Légère pointe sucrée en fin de bouche, belle péttillance, malt typique pâle carapils, fini sec et amer.
33cl bottle.
Appearance: light clouded blonde beer, no head, only a white rim visible.
Nose: hops, yeast, watery, light acidity.
Taste: pilsener with more hops, rather dry, quite some lemon.
Blond beer with a large white head. Lively carbonation. Fruity nose. Malty sweet taste. Some oranges and yeast.
33cl bottle. Light golden with medium white head. Nose : strong citrus zest and pepper, soap and a bit metallic note. Sip . : Low density body reminding a lager with slightly oily texture and quite decent carbonation. Moderately sweet with flavors of bread and some fruity esters. It develops dryness with little sour straw like estery citrus bite. Metallic aftertaste with some bitter hops.
