3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Cave à Bulles. Hazy, pale golden with a small head. Quite spiced aroma with coriander and herbal notes. Quite herbal in character, well-contained sweetness. Not bad, but too much spices and too little substance.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A hazed light blonde ale with a thin white head. Aroma is quite interesting, with nice herbal qualities, light lactic notes, veering on gueuze and light honey. In mouth, a very sweet honey overlayed with coriander, light acidic points, a tad cloying but overall, not bad. 750 ml bottle from Cave a Bulles, Paris, May 2010.

bottle from Village de la Bière Strasbourg. Hazy golden colour, large white head. Fruity nose. Malty, spicy and fruity with hints of herbs. Perfumy and floral hops in the finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle brought back to Calgary. What are friends for? Mine bring back beer! Huge head on yellow. Tastes like a Belgian Blonde not a Biere de Garde. Fruit finish. Did not notice the big ABV in the taste.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Hazy golden, rich airy head. Fruity nose wth bisuity yeast and wormwood. Mid sweet and heavily herbal with lively mouthfeel and solid, vital body. Lingering herbal bitterness. Complex and very interesting.
