(Bottle at Poirotti on 2008-04-25) Light amber and clear. Big white head. Fruity nose with some yeast. Medium palate with some acidiness. Hop bitterness is the first thing in taste. Then quite a bit yeast and a little bit sweetness. Perhaps too yeasty.

11.2 oz bottle poured in tulip glass. Nice carbonation, sudsy foam head-thin and fizzy from start to finnish. Orange tinge with a thin pallet. Crisp and slight citrus notes with a light hop presence. Had a bit of a nut-grain quality but not really standing out, even with the yeast from the bottom. Dry-semi sweet finish.

33cl bottle from Publix Supermarkets (Tampa, FL). Rated on 3/24/08. Pours a semi-clear golden color with a big, frothy white head that settles slowly. Aroma is spice, malt, faint sweetness, ripe fruit, bread. Flavor is faint malty sweetness, grass, straw, slight bitterness on finish. Generally light-bodied with a somewhat quick finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellowish. Smells of classic abbey yeast. Taste is somewhat subdued but smooth. Aftertaste is subtle and straightforward. A nice example of Belgian Blonde.
