COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Created in June 1998, Bush Blond is obviously a discovery in the strong blond ales market in which it will undoubtedly play a major role. It has a light and glistering colour. Hugues Dubuisson who is the current brewer wanted it to be worthy of the famous Bush Amber and gave it the same nice aroma and flavour.

250 ml bottle. 1 year past its “drink by” date. Big, sweet, honey malts, with a bit of lemon in the nose. No hops left by now. Deep dark golden color with no head. Very sweet, ultra fruity flavor with passion fruit, cherry, and tons of alcohol! Burning, fumy finish balances the sweet malts. No hops present. Rich, smooth, oily. Brandy like. Very interesting and pleasant drinking. A bit of age seems to have been the charm.

Courtesy of Armando629, thanks! Egészen világos, citromsárga színű sör, ami opálosan lassan gomolyogva pihen a poharunkban. Habja krémes, fehér, vékony de igen kitartó. Illata édeskés, aszalt sárga gyümölcsös, fűszeres, kissé sajtos és élesztős. Ízében nem csak aszalt gyümölcsök, hanem házi baracklekvár is érződik, ott a belga élesztő fűszeressége és kissé csípős fanyarsága, az alkohol édessége, koriander, fehér bors. Elég testes és olyan szénsavas, mint egy jobb pezsgő. Utóíze keserédes, gyümölcsös és kissé száraz. Ravasz egy sör, mert rendkívüli módon itatja magát és nem is vesszük észre rajta, hogy voltaképpen milyen erős. Remek!

0,75 l bottle called Bush Blonde Triple.
Cloudy pale golden/yellow beer with a nice creamy white head that melts down to a small lacing white one. Aroma opens slowly, when the beer gets warmer and warmer the spicies arrives. Elegant beer with coriander, belgian yeast, some honey, green apples both in aroma and flavor. Very pleasant.

Prachtig fruitig aroma met perzik en banaan met appelstroop, gemengd met wat lichte kruiden. Smaak is iets donkerder, rozijnen, het typische Bush smaakje, wel aangenaam, maar blijft niet lang hangen. Kraag begint enthousiast, maar vlakt ook rap af.

Swaroga (255) - Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 12, 2011
33cl bottle. Pours a very clear yellow with a little bit dirty medium head. Nose : Peach and cherry fruit aromas. Alcohol. Caramel malts. Floral notes. Sip : Very smooth body with a light but lively carbonation. Sweet bread malts that jumps into fruity tones (cherry, pear, banana and apricot). Alcohol is well hidden. It’s a very well balanced beer. I could say it’s almost subtle. Good treat.

Nice and crisp. Heavy on the alcohol with a sweet burn. Somewhat of a grainy aftertaste.
