Bottle.Clear colden. White head. Hard to define. Some grass and malt in the aroma and tast. To mediocre.

Bottled in Brugges. Golden color with a nice and huge white head. Yeasty aroma some malt hints. Flavor is quite sweet malt with some bitterness, medium body. normal Belgian Blond.

Thick luscious head settles to 1cm, earthy toffee kind of hazy amber. Nice lacing though. Aroma is of honey, raisins, wheat, funky/musty old hops (similar to a gueuze), hints of alcohol, cinnamon, and a hint of red wine. Taste is "wow" - reminds me of lindemans gueze, but with added coriander. Again, honey, cinnamon. Alcohol is highly noticeable. Hint of extract twang Bit of orange sherbert. Very watery finish with no bitter backing. Creamy carbonation, but feels watery on palate.

330ml bottle at Belgian Beer Café, Sydney. Nose mainly consists of light fruity flavours and some citrusy hops. Pours a clean pale golden body with a fluffy white head. Flavour has some spicey banana like yeast character to it topped off with a dry citrus tang. Body is reasonably thin for the strength, quite spritzy. A reasonably nice Belgium blonde, plenty better out there though.

Respectable without being great. Nice gold yellow colour but with very little head. Alcohol seems to pierce through the taste.

Draft at Beerpassion Weekend Antwerp.The smel is spicy. A sweet and moderate beer.

Clear orange gold with a fluffy white head that didn’t really last. A yeast dominated aroma with banana and some soft spice that makes it seems like a liquid dessert. Actually, I’ve changed my mind. It has a creamy coconut milk finish that has me thinking, in a light bulb over the head moment, of a pina colada (although light on the pineapple - maybe a banana colada). Quite a sweet taste, with some bitterness hanging around that combines with the sugary sweetness making it a touch cloying and sickly. It’s got an interesting aroma that had me thinking, but it wasn’t something that I really enjoyed (the beer not the thinking that is).

Draught. Cloudy yellow with little head. Tangy lemony aroma. Medium body with light carbonation. Refreshing tangy lemony flavour with some interesting banana and maybe malt notes. Overall refreshing.

Bottled. Poured golden with a thick head that dissipated slowly. Malty aroma, malty flavour. Pretty standard beer really, quite nice but nothing really stands out.

De Pub, Brugge. Weak, a little watery, malted, high carbonatação excessively, not balanced.................................Fraca, um pouco aguada, maltada, carbonatação alta demais, desbalanceada.
