CajunCelebratr (6), Jacksonville, Florida, USA does not count Jul 29, 2005 Nice white foamy head with staying power; lovely golden, cloudy color-can taste the alcohol, but it is not overwhelming. On the nose, banana, malt, and hoppiness. Enjoyable, but not one of mt top 50. Perkeo (310), Portland, Oregon, USA Jan 21, 2006 Medium semi-hazy gold, fair amount of sticky white foam, Flavor is initially vanilla and cotton candy then gets an interesting flinty mineral like character, maybe some hints of cedar and orange peel, smooth but with definite backbone. It’s all most like a champagne aftertaste, that blend of Pinot and chardonnay, maybe even some oak . Nicely comlex and unique ale. mdi (573), USA Apr 6, 2005 33cl bottle, BB May 05. Duvel tulip...solid stream of CO2 going straight up the middle of the beer. Big, Rocky white head atop a slightly hazy copper colored beer. Big pear, banana, malt aroma. Nice malty beer with some good fruit character thanks to the yeast. Hops are light...moderately sweet finish, but bitterness shows up...Actually the sweet palate cuts to dry & lingering bitter at the finish...deceptive. Pretty stellar beer. Nice malt dimension and hops seem to pop out more as I linger over it...the spicy character really starts to shine. This one surprised me...I expected it to like Bink Blonde or Lucifer...but this is big & hoppy. Good. henrik (41), Århus, Denmark Jan 7, 2006 Fantastic aroma of yeast and dry fruit. Much more intense than usual for a blonde. Great ale.
