Tap at brewery, listed just as "Blond". A coppery hue (not blonde at all) with a fading frothy head and some lace. The aroma has notes of Belgium sugar, caramel, cookie dough, orange zest and banana esters, and some coriander. The taste is sweet and fruity with a pale malt background. The finish is a bit herbal hop and spice. The mouth feel is soft and sticky, a bit medicinal on the finish. A solid offering but hardly what I expected, sort of a witbier crossed with a big Belgian.

Listed in the pub as "Blond," this one pours a medium orange with a thick, off white head. Really a lovely beer that I decided to try after seeing its appearance at another table. Nose is spice and citrus, in addition to the yeast and alcohol, and flavors are much the same. Really a very good beer, and one I’m glad to have on tap, locally.

Labeled as the Blonde. Sugary dough flavors, slightly funky belgian yeastiness, some undefined citrus and no real alcohol detected. Hoppiness shines through in the aroma (grass). Good body, a bit heavy. Quite drinkable.

Tap at brewpub served in chalice - Aroma of doughy yeast, orange peel, clove and coriander. Pours cloudy orange with a small head and great lacing. Flavor is also doughy yeast but with more saison-like funkiness. Then the orange peel and spice cling to the tounge. Palate is creamy then sticky. The best blonde I have ever had that’s for sure, like a tame saision. Easy drinking and tasty while sitting outside on a beautiful spring day.
