3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught: Poured a golden clear color with thin white head. The aroma and taste were very similiar as it was sweet fruit and spicy.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brewpub. Clear golden colour with a rich white foam. Spicy and yeasty aroma with a good portion of coriander. Flavours are sweet with a lot of coriander balancing the sweetness. Very spiced, but still quite enjoyable.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap at the pub. Pours a faintly hazy blond with a thin white head. Very unimpressive belgian blond, watery on the palate with hardly any esters or spice. Light lemon and citrus in the finish, but not much flavor at all.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draught at the brewpub
Hazy blond color. Soft aroma; wheat, spices, vanilla, light hop. Light body; light malt taste, with a hint of citrus, very watery mouthfeel. Similar to a Blanche in many horrible French brewpubs.
1.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Cloudy yellow body. Aroma is like walking into a busy men’s bathroom that doesn’t use the little blue deodorizers. Fortunately the taste was more harmless than bad except for a bit of urine taste at the end. There might be something wrong with the plumbing of this brewpub, I think the bathrooms drains are connected with the brewing equipment.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at the brewery: poured a cloudy butterscotch yellow with a small dissipating white head. Almsot looked like the blanche. Very little aroma, like the blanche. A touch of fruit. Light perfume and flowers. Moderate sour finish. Decent.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This one was kind of an afterthought having had the amber and wit. Too dry on the finish with a misplaced bitterness. I guess I just wasn’t feeling it.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Draught as "Blond". Almost clear golden colour. No head. Sourish/acidic aroma. Watery flavour, with some malt, though, and a bit citric.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 8, 2007 Draught
Consumed at Les Brasseurs de la Grand Place, Brussels, May 2006
Called just simple the Blonde. Has a clear yellow and gold colored body with a fluffy well-built white head. Has a soapy cannibus (sativa) nose with a sour bacteria-like yeast scent. Crisp, resembling hoegaarden with the lemon flavored yeast flavor up front. Light, a bit syrupy, candy sugar is easily evident. Simple and plain overall, but at least drinkable and decent enouhg to not dislike.
