Bottle/11.2 - Poured a quite pale yellow in color with *very* big (too big really) tight white head... had trouble getting it all into the 20oz tumbler I’m using. Really good lacing though. Aroma is fruity with banana, clove, faint citrus (lemon, orange) and lighter fruits (apple, pear). Flavor is more hoppy and bitter than I would have expected. Citrus with some acid, plenty of light fruit, some nice bready yeast and faint hops. Finish is lingering, medium bitter and slightly fruity. Very good, but less than I expected, given its reputation.

Pours a clear gold brew with a 3 finger white head with excelent retention, aroma has notes of citrus fruits, grapefruit, apple, ciderlike, some sourness. body is medium, the flavor is excelent, refreshing, fruity, sour, slightly bitter, also some sweetness underneath to balance everything, it has notes of citrus fruit, grapefruit, sugar, cider, some caramel. its absolutely delicious.

330 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy, whiteish straw yellow with a nice, persistent white head. Tastes spicy, sweet, some pear, bits of citrus. Nice, sharp bitterness in the finish. Medium-full bodied, good carbonation. Excellent blonde!

Pohárba kitöltve világossárga színú, vastag fehér, tartós habbal. Már a hab egy élmény, kellemesen bizsergeti a nyelvet. Az első korty meglehetősen savanykásnak tűnik, ez később tompul, és átalakul egy diszkrét citrusos savanyúsággá, s csakhamar feltűnik egy visszafogottan édeskés ízkomponens. A komlós keresűség végig megbújik a jól eltalált édes-savanyú mögött, már-már azt gondolja az ember, hogy csak jelzés értékkel van jelen, de mégis szerves részét képezi ennek a komplex ízvilágnak. Szerencsére egyáltalán nem émelyítő, viszonylag könnyen iható, de vigyázni kell, mert gyorsan hat. Az utóíze sem agresszív, a citrusos savanyúság és a komlós keserűség játszadozik finoman egymással az ízlelőbimbóimon.

Bottle. Pours blond with a white head. Alcohol well hidden. Fairly sweet body, touch citrus.

Poured from 11.2 oz bottle into Duvel nucleated tulip glass. Best by 05-2014 Aroma: Very light citrux scent and some corriander. Little bit of hay. Not alot of alcohol for 8.5% Appearance: Golden light yellow color with 2 finger white frothy head. Very clear and pristine. Taste: Not a whole lot of flavor. Sweet at first with a bitter finish. Definitely sour in the taste and aftertaste. Palate: Light body with a slick texture. Carbonation is very fizzy. Bubbles constantly rising from center of glass. Bitter finish. Overall: Not really impressed with this beer. Wasnt what i expected. I have a 4 pack to get through and might take me a while. Would probably be better on a hot summer day. At least the price was decent ($12.99 4 pack and came with a free glass.

Pour from 12 oz bottle. Nice, foamy head. Light golden color with carbonation. I like the crispness on the palate. It tastes so fresh! This drinks like a session beer; the high ABV does not stand out.

Smells a bit like citrus. Golden, hazy appearance with nice foamy head. Low on sweetness and bitterness, light sour. Medium body with thin feel and average carbonation. Drank at home from 33cl bottle in original glass.
