I gave my girlfriend a sip of this and she pronounced it ’stankwater’. I wouldn’t go that far but I think you can see where this is going. This was really rather bitter, and frankly that kind of strong hop bitterness is really out of place in a Belgian ale. Even forgetting what it was supposed to be, I didn’t really like it. Unbalanced with no redeeming qualities. Copperish color not indicative of a Blond ale.

Mostly light and inoffensive aroma. Fair taste finishing with a little tartness in a bad way. Not a great beer.

Smmoth on the palate and very refreshing. Some sediment. I didn't find it as bitter as some raters. Nice finish. Good beer overall.

7/6/03: bottle.
light tan-orange color. wheat and honey to the nose. slight amount of lacing. tastes include wheat, slightly sweet-tea and a tinge of lime. light and refreshing. great on a hot day of summer.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2003 Light salty pretzel aroma. Nice large bubble head. Medium brown in color with more suspended floaters (yeast) than I have ever seen in a beer. Spice up front in the taste but falls off sharpley in the finish. Good but not great.

Easy to drink and enjoyable. It is a good belgian ale, but there are a lot more better ones out there.

My bottle was labeled "All Saints Belgian Golden Ale": I presume we’re talking about the same beer, but clearly I liked this a *lot* better than any other rater so far.

BNot that good. I would not call this a blond by any strech of the imagination. It does have a nice sour note but overall, rather underwhelming. I will celler it anyway and hop for some improvement.

dry and earthy. Not much else, but drinkable.

it was ok nothing to brag about here flavor is there but lacks some
