Dit bier heeft geen al te beste indruk bij mij nagelaten. Hoewel hun 8 een lekker blond biertje is, is deze iets te flets.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - DEC 18, 2011
Erfrischend hefig-herber Antrunk, nicht ganz vollmundig. Wenig hopfig, herber werdend, dabei sind die belgischen Kräuternoten eher gering. Herb-bitterer, leicht zitrusartiger Abgang. 10/9/10/8//9

In abbazia. Una delle migliori belgian blond mai bevute. Per me vale quasi la Westvleteren Blond. Molto sottovalutata.

On tap at the Achel cafe during last week’s trip to Belgium. Reviewed from notes. Surprisingly, this one was not served in an Achel chalice, but rather just a plain chalice. A bit disappointing. Pours a slightly-hazy yellow with a big white head and lots of lacing. Light grain and floral hops in the nose, carrying over to the flavor, which is a bit grainy but more toward the hops with a bit of earthy yeast. Light and smooth with crisp carbonation. Very solid brew.

bierkoning (7776) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - JUL 28, 2011
Tap @ brewery. Blonde, hazy. Citrus and rancid butter in the aroma. Watery mouthfeel. Firm hop character with cellar notes. Grassy. Hints of rancid butter in the flavor. Something must have gone wrong.

Clear blond beer, white creamy head, stable and adhesive, nice lacing. Aroma: some candi sugar, fruity touch, hops. MF: light carbon, light body. Taste: bitter hops, citrus, touch of dairy, little bit of sugar. Aftertaste: pretty bitter but not dry, grapefruit.

thewolf (8241) - Kolding, DENMARK - JUN 6, 2011
Tap @ Achelse Kluis, Belgium.
Pours hazy blonde with a lovely, staying, creamy, white head. Aroma is sweet, light spicy, malty and with a bit of apple. Medium carbonation, pleasant fat mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, fresh malts, apple, light banana. Some Belgien sugar. Kinda chewy and light grainy in the mild bitter finish. Really nice and fresh.

330cl bottle pours a great hazy golden beer with a huge white gead that lasts a great amount of time. Aroma is some orange and lemon citrus that is very refreshing. Taste is very refreshing with some citrus, fruit sugars and light hops. This is an amazing beer that has a great body, flavor and finish. A very well rounded beer.
