Glouglouburp (2782), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 19, 2008 <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.
