Caulier Bon Secours Blonde de Noël

(Bottle, BB 10/09) Pours a cloudy yellow body with a large white head and good lacing. Aroma of mustiness, lemon, and toffee. Aroma of spicy yeast, light citrus, malt, and spices.

Orange color and strong fruity-spicey aroma. Flavour is dominated by alcohol, but is sweet. Has a farily sharp taste.

Tap at Chr. Firtal, Odense. Golden yellow with thick creamy white head. Smooth texture. Alcohol feel & sweetness. Dry hoppiness. Some fruit appears - citrus which gives a fresh feel! Pleasant!

(33cl bottle, best by 10/2010) Swing top opens with a loud pop -- the pour is mostly white foam, which diminishes very slowly to reveal a hazy straw body. Aroma is moderately sweet, candi sugar, herbal, some peach/banana. Taste is sweet, candi sugar, peach, banana, alcohol, some herbal. Medium-full body dominated by the alcohol. Blindfold me and tell me it’s a fruity mixed drink and I would have trouble disagreeing-- sure there’s a slight beeriness, but that’s overwhelmed by the sweet fruitiness and alcohol. As always, whether that’s a bad thing depends on your perspective and expectations.

Warm golden, with a nice white head. The aroma is fruity, mainly citrus, and I also get notes of alcohol. The flavour is refreshing with notes of citrus, a bit of candy sugar and sweetness. The overall impression is smooth but yet crisp and refreshing. 1825
