Bottle @ Take One. Hazy golden colour, white head. Very fruity aroma, malty and flowery. Flavour adds some hoppy notes to that, with a slightly bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied. Becomes a bit boring in the end.

<b>In short: </b>A basic floral Belgian blonde ale. Good but nothing special.
<b>How: </b>Bottle 330ml, drank when about 6 months of age
<b>The look: </b>Clear blonde body topped by an initially large white head with medium retention
<b>In long: </b>Averagely fruity for a Belgian Ale with flavours of pineapples, apples (red and green), bananas, some grapefruits. Hops are very much on the floral side of things, almost perfumy. Sensation of floral petal juice along with some dry grass. Light acidity. Very lively carbonation, maybe a bit too much so. White pepper and salty notes, the beer has a strong mineral presence. An overall crisp and fresh sensation upped the score a few points. Very drinkable in its simplicity, almost underrated. The truth is that this beer isn’t far from one of the best Belgian Blonde ale. Silly is only 70 miles away from Westvleteren.

Bottle - 330ml. Hazy blond body with average carbonation and a nice white foamy head. Malty/hoppy aroma with bready, grassy, and flowery hints. Well balanced malty/hoppy taste that ends with a sharp bittersweet finish.

Aroma: initial metal hop and light malt. Appearance: hazy yellow wtih a huge fluffy head and sheet lacing. Flavour: light tang with balanced sweet malt. Palate: metallic and dry with a huge amount of carbonation.

Bottle @ Bar Take One in Maastricht, Netherlands. A hazy golden colored beer, with a big foamy white head. The aroma of malt, fruits and sweets. The taste is malty dry with a bitter. In the back fruity sweets and citrus. Not a bad beer.

Pours very golden, fizzy head which disappears quickly. Yeasty aroma. Kind of sweet, tastes very bitter. Hop, yeast in the flavour, which is over very quickly. Quite boring.
