Bottle @ Spiesy’s gaff. Slight grassy metallic aroma. Big head. Pale gold colour. Crisp body. Some grassy pilsner notes in flavour with malty back up. Decent pilsnerish ale. Nothing special.

I had this at my 24th birthday (god, was this a long time ago ...) and it made me sick the whole day after. I can't believe most of you liked this beer ...

Uglyradio (791) - Greenville, South Carolina, USA - JUL 25, 2003
This blond ale pours a hazy, pale yellow color with a lasting, creamy white head. The flavor is spicy and sweet, with lots of fruity notes and a slight dryness. The finish is long and fruity. The aroma is very spicy and fruity with hints of yeast, orange, and apricot. It has a medium body with lively carbonation and a creamy smooth mouth feel. A very tasty treat from France.

Is ok. Decent level of complexity for a belgian blonde, although I certainly didn't taste seven malts.

Pale but dense cloudy appearance , moderate head formation. Sweet malts, light fruits, red apple, spice and wood tones. Sweet vivid red apple flavor is strong at first before it gets balance a little by some dry peppery dpice tones and a sour bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Hazy golden color with a foamy white head. Grapefruit, apples, wood, and yeasty aromas. Fairly light with a nice little fruit aftertaste.
