Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (020907)

Bottle @ Le Poechenellekelder, Brussels. Clean & crisp with mildly spice presence. Decent blond. 1st American rater. Nice drinable blonde with reasonable ABV

Bottle 0,3ltr: Very spicy Belgian Blond from Hainaut, and a great bitternesh.

Blond color. Dry Ale, with a spicy aroma (cloves and coriander), a touch of dry liquorice (rare in Blonds) and a strong bitterness. Drinkable.

Bottle at Beer Brothers’ Festival 2007, Mechelen, Belgium
Hazy, blond body. White, fizzy head. Ok lace. Very fresh aroma (like some kind of cleaning product) of citrus, orange. Quite complex and interesting nose. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Quite yeasty flavour. In total, I don’t really like it that much as I did like the aroma.

Well-carbonated, yellow-gold beer with a slight haze; good, dense, snowwhite head. Leafy, spruceneedles aroma, juniper - not the berries, rather the branches - VERY good. More juniper branch - with a serious toasted bread flavour. Ends even on a sweet brioche note, without any cloying, thanks to the spruce-like flavours. Ends earthy. Medium bodied at best. Refreshing despite the ABV. Very (positively) surprising beer from Meynsbrughen. I’d like to see more of these.

Bottle, 33 cl. Clear yellow color, dense white head. Aroma sweety, fruity, yeasts. Medium body. Taste is drinkable, and really good. It’s like it have more alcohol than 6,5 %, little honey-sweet, dry end.

(Bottled) Slightly hazy yellow-golden with a large, fluffy and lacy head with the yeast floating on top! Sweetish, grainy, honeyish, slightly alcoholic, somewhat Duvel-like aroma with saisony yeastiness. Slightly acidic, sweetish, honey-malty flavor with a tiny alcohol hint. Medium-bodied palate with smooth carbonation. A quite plain but ok, Duvel-Augustijnish blonde.

Golden coloured. Clear. Dense off white head. Yeast, spice, sweetness and fruits in the aroma. Quite good. Flavour as well is sweet and smooth. Fruits, yeast and spice there as well. Quite balanced. Medium to full bodied. Sweetish end. Easy to drink belgian. Refreshing.
