Commercial Description:
Gorgeous copper-orange ale. Rich, enticing aroma of oranges and lemongrass. Crisp and refreshing on the palate. A perfect blend of malt, spice and sweet & zesty hints of citrus. Nestled between beer-loving Germany and wine-loving France, for centuries Belgium has produced some of the most interesting, complex, sophisticated, and delicious styles the beer world has to offer. Brasserie Blonde pays homage to this grand tradition. We brew the Blonde with a unique blend of rich malts, sweet orange peel, spicy hops, and zesty coriander. The result is a medium-bodied ale bursting with flavor. This is truly a beer-lover’s champagne (or a champagne-lover’s beer!). It is a dry, slightly tart ale subtly spiced with orange peel and coriander for a zesty taste with hints of sweet and tangy citrus.

Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Cloudy gold pour. Aroma is extremely wheaty with apricot. The flavor, wtf, overloaded with lemon and wheat and extremely watery. What the hell is going on here? At least its easy to drink, as it tastes like nothing but grainy water.

Poured an orange color in the glass. Aroma was orange rind, coriander and other spices. Taste was sweet malt, musty, hint of orange and coriander with quite a bit of spice and belgian sweetness. A touch cloying overall.

Bottle. Goodbar Beer Club. One of the best beers I’ve ever had @ Beer Club. Nose is lemon, yeast, blueberry, flowers. Flavor is yeast, light spice, coriander, lemon, pils malt. Very nice!

At the corner brewery. Clear red-amber color with a sweetish, fruity aroma. My friends look at me a bit funny but I swear I can detect the aroma of pink bubblegum in there. Flavor is basically the same, with maltiness and a lightly bitter finish. Thinnish mouthfeel - some more body would not go amiss. Decent for a light-drinking beer.

Bottle: Pours amber with a fizzy head. Aroma and flavor of fruits. Not great, but drinkable.
