To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "Cuvée van de Keizer Blauw", the brewery launched a blond-version : Cuvée van de Keizer Rood. This beer is similar to the previous Gouden Carolus Easter Beer. Blond rich beer that is brewed each year during the easter period. It contains several types of malt and during brewing 3 herbs are added. It's golden blond colour, it's high alcohol concentration of 10 %, it's full and balanced taste make this beer into a source of vitality and strength which will appeal to the demanding beer taster. For ideal tasting pour out gently in one pull to a temperature round 7-8° C. Served with pride it is drunken with respect. This pleasant golden blond beer is chosen for he who loves a richer, somewhat spicy and refreshing beer.

this beer is nicely packaged, has a high price point and is fairly aromatic with a bit of a bitter taste.

75cl bottle. Pours a beautiful golden colour with a nicely proportioned head. The nose has tinned pineapple which has a sorbet note on the end. The taste has initially a lemon note, which then develops into more of the pineapple thing with a lemon yoghurt finish. The palate is full bodied with a rich creamy (and at the same time tangy) texture and an elegant long finish that is clean enough to make you want another drink. Delicious blonde!

KAggie97 (3149) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - JAN 7, 2012
2008 bottle from Santa ’11. Thanks! Pours a cloudy, thick cheddar orange with a nose of honey, light herbal hairspray, cinammon bread, and breaded cherries. Flavor is herbal honey, earthy raisin bread, and breaded lemon. A light bourbon essence emerges as it warms. Chunky mouthfeel. Great sippin’ beer for playoff football. KILL THE STEELERS, BRONCOS.

[75cl bottle, Appellation Wines, Edinburgh] 2011 Vintage. Pours clear gold with large fluffy white head. Sweet, floral, fruity aromas. Marzipan, yeast on the nose as well. Flavour is wonderful - rich, sweet yeasty breadiness - sticky fruit - leading into a warming alcoholic finish. Sweet on the end, extremely drinkable for 10% [25122011]

Swaroga (255) - Brussels, BELGIUM - DEC 29, 2011
75cl bottle. Clear golden with a medium white head. Nose : Strong fruity/esters. Still really seducing bubblegum , almost like yellow fuel. Some other dried fruits (peach, plums, cherry, pineapple). Smoked wood aromas. A bit like champagne. Sip : A lot like sweet champagne ; texture and carbonation. Sweet with fruity notes start followed by dry wine grapes aromas. Overall : sweet champagne with some little yeast and caramel malts. Not my favorite but once in front of the choice, I would take expensive beer then a cheep champagne.
