Colour is a cloudy golden amber with a tall foamy head. Nice yeasty, citrusy aroma with herbal and hop notes. Flavour is flowery and hoppy. Nice warming finish, though not long lasting.

Tap at Cheeky Monk. Poured a hazy pale yellow, with a frothy white head. Aroma is spice, banana, yeast, herbal, some bread and biscuit, as well. Taste is herbal and somewhat medicinal, with hints of spice, coriander, and yeast, leading to bread and biscuit on the finish. Mouthfeel is light with lively carbonation. Complex and refreshing; a great Belgian for summer.

33cl bottle. Deep blonde/orange pour with huge fluffy bright white head, loads of thick lacing - great looking beer, as a Belgian blonde should. Complex spicy yeast, citrus, thick bready malt on the nose. Taste much the same, lovely smooth maltiness, sugar, interesting yeast notes, light citrus bitterness, very dry finish, lovely carbonation makes for a fairly full mouthfeel. Very refreshing blonde ale.

On tap at Les Distilleries Idéales in Nice, enjoyed outside in a goblet
Golden with a white head. Smells of spice, grass and malts. Taste is not as malty as i expected, medium sweetness. You can feel the spicy hops already in the body. Nice texture, medium bodied and soft carbonation. Finish has a quite descent bitterness, i find it between light and medium, it’s full of grassy and spicy hops. Nice beer in a city without much beer at all

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange yellow color. Fluffy white head. Nose was citrus, spice, and slightly nutty. Flavors were orange peel, wheat, and coriander. A bit fruity, and very strong on palate. Much better as it warmed toward room temp. Solid.

6 pack on sale at Franprix. Doesn’t really smell like anything. Maybe sugar? Gold and clear. More sugary than Leffe, and more sour. Better than Grimbergen, at least. Leffe remains the king of French grocery store, major-owned abbey beers!

Pours a nice golden hazed colored beer with a thick long lasting foam. Aroma has hints of fruit, taste is quite light with close to no bitterness. Fruity aftertaste which lasts long
