3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Unfiltered amber, firm head. Nice sweet and sour papalte, very refreshing. Malt, redcurrants. The sourness and dryness balance the sweet berry flavour. Not my favourtie style, but a fine beer!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

A regular blond but good beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A dry fruity beer with a small hase. The use of herbes is well done. Not to strong bud in balance with the beer. It gives the beer something special. At the end the could have a bit more body. The foam could be better.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 2, 2008 Draught Orange-golden, metallic beer, with a very small off-white rim for head. Greenery nose, chervil or parsley, and very faint peppery. Extremely young, traces of diacetyl, DMS or another S(ulphur)compound, greenmalt, slightly CO² overpressurized with a bit of acidity in the taste, joining with the esters to Traubenzucker-like flavour. Warming up, warm malts coming up. Medium bodied, certain slickness. A bit sweet, not to mention young, is it?
New rating under the name Bladelin Blond
Dense, huge head, yellow-white, fed by fine pearling; (cold)hazy orangey beer. (4/5) Spicy maltnose, quite light impression from alcohol, and very clearly caramel. Peppery aroma (grains of paradise-like). (7/10)
Rather sweet initially, with a slight retronasal bitterness that is rather spicy than hoppy. Very slight impression of ureum. Beer becomes drier in the palate, if every new sip gives renewed sweetness - candy sugar? Again a slight alcoholimpression. (6/10)
Very clearly quite carbonated, medium density at best, very slick. (3/5)
Overall it is definitely better than the too young version I drank initally. (14/20)
