3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 DeanF (1477) - Iqaluit, Nunavut, CANADA - SEP 13, 2009
Very fruity aroma, but a little too strong, comes across as slightly syrupy. Looks okay poured into a chalice, though the colour looks a little fake and there’s really not enough head for a "Belgian Blonde". Taste is nice however, lots of citrus notes and hops, and a dry finish. The syrupiness on the nose didn’t really materialize in the flavour, which is nice. Pretty good, not great.

Amber color with a nice white head. Typical Belgian Blonde in my eyes. Nothing special. Smells mildly sweet. Tastes mildly sweet.
