Thanks bierkoning!
Slightly hazy golden color, small white head. Fruity estery, almost banana aroma. Active carbonation. Fruity but dry flavor. Some leather, lemon and peach. Short hoppy-fruity, oily finish. Nothing special in this blonde.

Bottle. Hazy pale gold body with an average sized white head. Aroma-taste of tropical fruits, melon, coriander seed. Light bodied; high carbonation.

Pours cloudy golden with a medium light head. Aroma is malts and yeast. Flavor is malts and yeast with stingy carbonation. Decent.

Bottle from Venerables. Hazy light golden colour, off-white head. Nose is yeasty, orange, bit of caramel. Flavour is yeasty, fruity, light malted, slightly sweet.

330 ml bottle. From finestshop.be.
Cloudy golden colour with small to average size white head. Tart fruits, Belgian yeast, malt and some sourness in delicious aroma. Flavour is malt, metal, yeast and touch of tartness. Quite fizzy. Metal is quite disturbing but otherwise very drinkable and enjoyable Belgian Ale.

Bottled. Cloudy yellow color with a nice head. Aroma slight sour and hoppy, flavor is sweet and dry. Mouthfeel is quite dry.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, huge rocky head. Aroma is bit metallic and grainy malt with some belgian yeast esters. When the bad aroma’s have disappeared some decent ginger and orange perfumes arise. Only slightly bitter taste, again the hint of cardboard. Only a faint hint of fruity hop taste. Bit boring.

Poured into a large tulip...nice light white head and a decent amount of carbonation. A bit sour on the taste and not a ton of alcohol flavor. Really nothing outstanding and I admit that I struggled a bit to finish it.

33cl bottle. Pours a light golden wuth orange blur. Well filtered but it’s not perfecly transparent liquid. Nose : aromas are delicate , caramel malt, fruity peach and orange, some thin aromas of yeast. Sip : mouthful fluffy carbonated liquid, low density. Medium sweet with a fruity dry transition into again a lightly sweet end. It detected some more fruity aromas along the waym some flower notes. The aftertaste is lightly dry with a delicatly sweet background. Overall it’s too flyffy and ;outhfull for me, this is defenitely a delicate beer, makes me think of a champagne demi-sec.

33cl bottle, a little over the best before date. Decent white head. Clear blond pour. An ok blond.
