(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, fully golden with a tall, dense and lasting head leaving laces. Lightly tart, fruity aroma. Medium body with sweetish, candy-like malt and some fruity accents. Very subdued bitterness. A very typical Belgian, if not exactly a great Belgian. 180107

different blonde to most belgium blonde’s. different in that it is a bit more one-dimensional. it is a straight forward bread and banana’s without the spice and citrus. the beer tapers off with some sugar and toffee. Good, but by no means the best belgium has to offer.

Bottled:
Malty, light bready aroma. Flavor is dominated by a extreme malty and toffee sweetness. Sugary, followed by a weak, old hop flavor. Light sweet and sourly end.

Golden color, just a bit hazy. Frothy head. Honey and orange in the aroma. Very fruity flavor: peach, pineapple and orange. Some hopbitterness. Touch of yeast character. Alcoholic for its modest ABV. Yeasty hopbitter aftertaste. Straightforward but nice.

More from the IB store goodie box. This one is quite disappointing though as it appears OK but there is not much really there to distinguish it from the pack of generally ordinary ales. For a Belgian it falls somewhat short in flavour and mouthfeel. Somewhat thin, over carbonated and lacking in that indefinable Belgian quality.

Hop malt aroma with spice. Crystal clear colour with excellent head and lacing. Malt hop flavour with spice. Fizzy palate.

Aroma: pilsenery sulphur intially followed by some floral notes. Appearance: clear gold with a good fluffy head and leaves sheet lacing. Flavour: sweet malty with some fruity and hop notes. Palate: well carbonated shome sharp and lingering bitter aftertaste.
