COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Affligem Blonde, the classic clear blonde abbey ale, with a gentle roundness and 6.8% alcohol. Low on bitterness, it is eminently drinkable.

The Etruscan (400) - Tuscany, ITALY - MAY 4, 2003
White thiny long lasting head. Golden color. Aroma is hoppy with citrus and light pear notes. Flavor is malty with wheaty tones, ending in a balanced slightly bitter and crispy finish. Light bodied.

michael-pollack (4867) - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 31, 2007
Draught: Aroma is medium sweet. Smells of alcohol, apples, and spices. Poured gold in color with a small white head that diminished quickly. Small lacing. Clear. Not sparkling. Very nice color. Flavor is a bit sour and tart, but also lightly sweet. Tastes of apples, caramel malts, and honey. Strange, earthy flavor. Medium body. Watery, thin texture. Soft to flat carbonation. Very dry finish. Overall, not very good. Strange taste. Kinda boring.

Panzuriel (1080) - Westerville, Ohio, USA - AUG 26, 2002
Nice beer but a little old in the bottle. Nice aroma, but a little stale. Nice color and head. Good crisp flavor, but a little "old pilsener" tasting. Tart turning to sweet/bad. Slowly. Good texture.

cb (810) - Roeland Park, Kansas, USA - APR 17, 2003
Lots of tang here, I wouldn't call it spicy...just a bit of lemon I think. Billowy head. Very little aroma, mostly that of old orange juice. I dislike that this brew is somehow related to Heineken.

Tried this for the first time in the town of Affligem. People are great, but the beer isn't brewed there anymore. Light in color. Mild in taste. Tried the whole product line and this isn't the best effor at all.

rickgordon (3764) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - AUG 24, 2003
(draught at The Bishops Arms, Goteborg) Golden color with a decent, and bubbly, white head. Fruity aroma with notes of berries. Fruity flabvor with a metal-like palate feel. Bitter finish.

ante (3375) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - AUG 16, 2004
Hazy dark golden appearance with a medium-sized white head. Yeasty and fruity aroma but it’s not pleasant rather unclean and rubbery. Fizzy sweet and yeasty flavour of pear with a small hint of lemon. Unclean yeasty finish. Seems like this brewery has gone commercial...(have only tried the the Dubbel and that was not nice either)

FROTHINGSLOSH (3381) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 3, 2005
This is the first Affligem product I have managed to try but based on this I am really not impressed. This was really a bland and very basic beer that had nothing special to suggest it. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle the beer poured a straw yellow color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was faint citrus - almost Wit like. The flavor was light sour malt, a hint of citrus, and a hint of spice. Again WIt like. While by no means bad, this beer really was rather bland.

KyotoLefty (3743) - Kyoto, JAPAN - DEC 24, 2008
Light golden color. Decent foamy head. Slightly sweet, yeasty, and hoppy aroma. Sweet and malty flavor. Raisins and cookies. Not particularly complex. Hoppy, bitter finish. Pretty decent, although nothing really special.

Una birra bevibile da 6 non di piu’ sapore abbastanza normale colore idem retrogusto inesistente, sembra il clone della abbye de bone esperance.
