Hazy blond color. Light malt aroma. Ordinary taste, nothing special, maybe just a very light sourness, and a pretty high ending bitterness. Useless

This beer has an iron flavour and a sour scent to it. Not good at all. Took an effort to finish the glass.

Bottle from local Oxfam shop. Hazy golden colour, off-white head. Lots of red-brownish floaties. Nose is yeasty, spicy, dry malty. Flavour is yeasty, malty, alcoholic, some fruityness. Alcoholic and dry finish. Poorly done.

Aug 2010: Formally known as ’Oxfam Blonde’ this beer was obtained from the Oxfam shop in Brugge and brought back home to review. Poured into a ’Duvel’ glass: Looked like a slightly darker Duvel actually, huge white head of large bubbles and an almost clear body, but more amber than duvel gold. The aroma was a bit of a let down, some yeast esters but very little else. The beer was crisp, tart and well carbonated, but lacking in taste somewhat. Yeasty, with a hop bitterness hidden away behind the fizziness of the carbonisation. Drinkable, but no classic, ingredients from Bolivia, Costa Rica and Thailand, a fairtrade beer!

Fairtrade product. Differs in description on rice, coming from India. Yellow-amber color with small white head, clear with some particles. Cork nose. Taste is sweet, acidic finish, . Aroma of apple, cherry, grapes, fruity, some grains and caramel, alcohol. Dry, high lively carbonation, light body. Has a feel of prosecco wine. Strange...

Bottle. Yellow and cloudy in color with a nice fluffy white head. Citrusy lemony aroma. Malty and citrusy flavor. Finish is lemony.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with an extra large head. Aroma is lemon and some grain. Taste is lightly citrus with wheat. Tastes a bit like Bud with lemon.
