Hazy golden colored brew. Spicy, yeasty aroma. Yeasty, malty flavor with some spices and fruits.

Bottle @ home. Clear yellow to golden color, but with pretty much yeast particles. Smells weird, some alcohol mixed with some medicine, so that can’t be really good. Taste some bitter, malts and lightly yeasty. Not a very nice aftertaste.

Bottle from Asao. Clear golden, tall, fine head. Somewhat thin looking. Fruity aroma, apples, spicy, estery, hpney. Dull. Flavor is of spiced apples, hpney, very sweet and cloying, but with a bit of a fruity tang. Spicy too. Not very nice.                                     

Bottle from Beer Mania. Murky gold body with top head. Nose of sugar, fruits, anise. Taste is sweet and anice. Nice and spicy too. Sweet, syrupy finish.

Alkoholisch süßer Antrunk mit starker Karbonisierung. Nach und nach herber und wenig hopfig, Harmonisch, auch wenn der Alkohol zum Ende hin spürbar anzieht. Erstaunlich süffig, zum Ende auperdem hopfiger. Gelungen! 9/11/12/12/8/10

Decent head, nice foggy orange-yellow body. Aroma has hints of coriander and hops, some soda pop hints. Taste is a lot of sour hops and coriander, with a watery alcohol finish.

[330ml bottle, Delirium Café, Brussels] Nice stylised label on the bottle, Bobeline pours a hazy golden colour, with a dense pillowing head. On the palate it’s surprisingly good - sweet and very rich, with a peachy taste. Almost reminiscent of champagne, with that carbonated sweet/dry palate and fruity tinge (although the tinges were more ripe stone fruits than tart green ones). Like many Belgian blonde ales it doesn’t taste anywhere near it’s weighty abv [10032010] 100th rating!!

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy blonde coloured brew with an good carbonation on the tongue, some bitter sweetness. Now start a brewery in that watery town of Spa, Belgium.
