on tap at brewpub. hazy light yellow, little head, no retention. some light wheat, citrus. average to almost aggressive carbonation, light body, short but present grassy finish.

Un liquide jaune et voilé. Un col mousseux blanc. Une fine dentelle. Un nez touché par une levure épicée. Une présence de blé qui donne l’impression du citron. Des malts doux et de lointaines herbes. Quelques notes de banane qui se proposent ici et là. Des saveurs qui permettent un essor des houblons. Quelques notes surettes à travers des céréales qui perdent du miel. Des épices qui s’installent avec une certaine lenteur. Un corps qui est dans la moyenne avec un pétillement vitaminé et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Une finale qui permet la rencontre de notes douces et de notes amères.

Aroma: pleasant rounded aromas of Belgian yeast. Hints of wheat , plenty of phenols, slight spice around. 7+
Appearance: hazed gold. Plus sized white head. Sparse lace.3+
Palate / Taste: Medium bodied. Clean, straightforward feel. True , proper and balanced. Approach much to my liking.

On tap at Bénélux. The color is a hazy honey with a thin beige head. The aroma is of malt . The taste is also of malt and a mix of herbs, apricots,spicies,honey and yeast. Very pleasant taste in the mouth, a good Abbaye for my taste.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy golden nectar with a white head and decent retention. Citrus and wheat tones, and dry herbal body. Fruity yeast toned esters citrus and apple notes. Soft with a light drying finish. Hit the spot while sitting outside.

Tap at Churcjkey. Yellow color, small white head, delicate lacing. Aroma of cardboard and summer fruits. Taste is slightly sour, light body, lots of off flavors. Not pleasant.

Draft. Medium off-white head atop crystal clear pale straw body. Aroma is moderately sweet, perfume, some grape, straw, light biscuit, honeysuckle. Taste is moderately sweet, orange, some grape, light spice, biscuit, faint alcohol. Medium body, some stickiness, light acidity.

aroma of dried grass, wet grass, and some wet cardboard. Flavor was stale hops, malted grains, and some light peppery booze. really nothing special.

[on tap at brewpub] Dry, musty aroma with cork and white grape. Clear dark straw appearance under a white ring. Fruity flavour that has some celery. Nice balance of bitter, carbonation, and sweetness. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, moderate woody bitter finish.

Nice looking hazy blonde with a medium white head. Delicate nose of herbaceous hops, medium body with a lot of residual sugars made this one a little heavy on the palate. Too malty for the style in my sense, but neverheless a respectable effort.
