Une robe dorée et limpide. Une tête plus ou moins solide qui laisse quelques traces. Un nez de céréales mielleuses et de grains. Une présence feutrée des houblons. Une touche fruitée qui est le résultat de l’ajout des groseilles. Des saveurs de malt pâle (quelque chose qui rappelle la pils) et de grains. Une touche acidulée qui chatouille les papilles. Une bouche de moyenne intensité avec un pétillement modéré et une texture crémeuse. Une finale qui permet une certaine amertume. Facile à boire.

Clear golden soft carbonation minimal white head. A: herbacy, cereal. F: thin body finish is bitter and medium long. O: clean and crisp pretty refreshing.

My Bottom Line:
This Golden Ale’s balance of citrusy hops and honeyed, biscuity malts wisely moves into levelled wooden hop bitterness, creating a hugely drinkable pint.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A thick sheet of foam laces atop the misty golden.
-The mouthfeel is almost as crisp as that of a Pilsener’s. Almost.
-The bitter finish is rather lenient; just enough hop presence to balance everything out, and just enough restraint to avoid scaring away the masses.
-This is the kind of brewpub Golden Ale that all brewpubs should have. It offers all that a neophyte can like in a Blond Ale while displaying the prowess and savoir-faire that a quality brewer possesses. Obviously, this type of beer will not score well on Ratebeer, which is a shame.

On tap at the brewpub.

Visited Bedondaine et Bedons Ronds during BeerQuest 2010. A decent palate warmer... a basic blonde with a mellow plum taste.

Tasted this beer while on Beer Quest 2010 with the guys. This was beer number 55. The pour was very light and clear. Little head. Aroma was a little malty and slightly skunked. Flavor however was smooth, light, and easy to drink. Weak on the palate.

Slight cloudy amber-orange hue, with a small white head, yeasty, fruity nose of peaches, pineapples, white currants, with a faint honeyed pale malt, cereal note, and a hint citruzy zestiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-light bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity acidic white currant, peachy, wheaty, pale malt spicy character, with some mild flowery hop citrusy leafy accents, leading towards a fruity, acidic, lingering dry hoppy finish.

On tap at brewpub. 5oz taster. Clear yellow with small head. Nose is quite discrete with hints of banana. Taste is light hops all along. A bit citrusy. Avereage beer but really refreshing and enjoyable.

A lightly hazed blonde with a thick white head. In aroma, lightly soapy and crisp malt with grainy qualities. In mouth, a very Czech declination of a pils, malty, with nice saaz hops. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, May 10 2009.

Sample tray. Gold with a light head. Sweet light spice aroma. Nice light flavoured beer with a bit of finishing spice and a light sweetness.
