3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Blonde lager aroma. Belgian spice in the yeast; bubbly and effervescent. Very Belgian overall.
The appearance is huge, frothy head. Cloudy golden. Tons of carbonation. Lots of sediment. Does NOT look the typical blonde. Excellent head retention; shaving cream lace.
The flavor is sweet malt with a flowery Euro hop. (Amazing what a lack of adjuncts can add to a beer’s quality.) Touch of lime and a minor citrus bite.
The palage is fizzy like champagne. Drier than I expected. This is a really nice beer. Refreshing and appropriately sweet.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JAN 24, 2011 0,33 cl bottle at Konijn Bowling Amsterdam. Pours cloudy golden with a nice off white head. Aroma is yeasty, citric and fruity and a bit hoppy. Cripy yeasty mouthfeel. Flavor is round, citric, yeasty, malty and peppery. Nice lean palate. Finishes with a pleasant bitter aftertaste. Very nice indeed.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poured yellow and turbid with white head that disappeared after 10 minutes. Yeasty and not too hoppy with good finish. Not the best Blond I had but it was nice. Turbidity makes me think it may not have been stored correctly by the vendor.
3.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma very pear/bannana-ish, very nice looking yellow, my favorite color, with nice lacing. taste is very even but lacks a little variety, nice lingering and a solid bee overall, alot like Duvel, but not quite as good
