May 4, 2007 First beer of 2007, Druid’s Cellar, Bruges. Bottled. Deep amber pour with a dimpled slick of suds. Snout is dry and vinous. Thin, lagery and aggressively fizzy for a Belgian. Sweet, malty and unspicy with a hint of sourish sharpness. More understated and neutral-tasting than when I’ve had it on tap. Half-decent lagery-lambicy ale but nothing to write home about.

Apr 27, 2007 Draft @ Hamilton’s. Not bad at all, but compared to other offerings, this isn’t a show stopper. Clear like a pilsner and easy drinking. Hints of that Belgian "flavor" and a ripe, clean finish.

Apr 24, 2007 On draft at Liar’s with jarspag, aroma mostly of Belgian yeast and some lighter fruits. Mostly a yeasty and citrus flavor to it, balanced nicely with light malt. Semi-chewy palate, which I like most about this beer. Much improvement could be done on the flavor though, a little bland to me.

Apr 24, 2007 Draft. Golden in color - really nice mouthfeel, but a pretty standard belgian blond. Nothing too special except for being very balanced. Flavor dominated by yeast, lemon, clove. Not bad, but not something I would recommend.

Apr 19, 2007 Golden color, large head. The aroma is kinda yeasty, kinda hoppy. The taste is very lager like, but kinda like a wheat beer too. A bit hard to tell. The palate is kinda harsh. It’s alright, I guess. Maybe I just had too high of an expectation since it’s a Belgian beer.

Apr 17, 2007 On tap at the Halve Maan brewery. Cool place, for a tourist trap. Golden beer has a decent white head and golden color. Aroma and flavor are malty for a blonde. Also a touch sweet, but mostly wet and bland with a clean finish. Not much going on here. Not bad, not good, but I enjoyed the brewery tour.

Apr 9, 2007 (bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a medium-sized, diminishing, off-white frothy head. Sweet and slightly sour citrus-fruity nose with a restrained malt-character. Moderately sweet flavour with sour-fruity aspects, medium bodied, lively carbonated mouthfeel. Bitter-sweet and tart, ascorbic finish.
