COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
La birra della sete. Solo malto chiaro, luppoli con profumi agrumati e rinfrescanti, lieviti dalle speziature balsamiche. Amara... con un equilibrio gustativo dissetante e coraggioso.

La prima cosa che si nota è la schiuma: prorompente, candida e di una pannosità quasi solida. Giallo paglierino con netti riflessi verdi brillante. Olfatto dominato da un fruttato agrumato che ricorda il pompelmo e il bergamotto. Al palato è molto leggera di corpo, con lievi iniziali note maltate che lasciano il campo ad un finale rinfrescante con un taglio amaro di discreta persistenza. E’ una birra da aperitivo, ideale complemento di piatti delicati a base di verdure o carni bianche. Da provare con frutti di mare e pesce anche crudo. From the brewer: in our production both Blond and Zest are dry hopped.

Draught at Moeder Lambic, Fontainas
Bright blond color, with creamy head. The aroma is very interesting, spicy like a good Saison, with some lemony and country note, also grassy; wonderful! The mouthfeel is very dry, with mild malt flavor, some grainy feeling, spicy yeast, and very strong bitterness. It reminds me of Taras Boulba.

KyotoLefty (3760) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAR 16, 2012
Draught at Open Baladin Roma. Cloud blonde with a tall, pillowy head. Nice hops in the nose—dry lemon, grass, herbs. Bready, biscuit flavor with dry green hops, pepper and spice. Now sweet, but with nice grain and good non-American hop flavor. Nice dry bitterness. Clean, light and crisp. Great for low alcohol.

Bel esempio di Belgian Ale...al naso lievito in quantità e finale agrumato... in bocca si sentono prima i malti per poi lasciare spazio ad un agrumato piccante che invoglia al sorso successivo...extraomnes non delude mai...

Mortlach (438) - Rome, ITALY - FEB 12, 2012
03/08/2011 Bir&Fud Bottega (330ml bottle). Bionda sporca, lievemente torbida, un po’ spenta, con riflessi arancia, bel cappello di schiuma bianco sporca, abbastanza persistente. Al naso è lieviti, speziata, con un bell’agrumato e note erbacee. In bocca è amara, secca, malto, lieviti, e luppolo, perfettamente aderente allo stile. Corpo medio, buona carbonazione. Un po’ accademica, ma ineccepibile.

Fantastica schiuma pannosa, compatta e persistente. Agrumato al naso, con il luppolo che risalta in modo deciso. In bocca è abbastanza amara, il luppolo è ben presente ma non esagerato. Il finale asciutto e secco invoglia a berne altra. Birra abbastanza semplice da bere, ma al tempo stesso ottima. Birra essenzialmente per i periodi "caldi" o per gli amanti del luppolo. Da provare anche la versione Dry Hopped.

Un bell’esempio di stile, blond belga con tanto agrumato, freschezza e beverinità.

ryan (3068) - Beltsville, Maryland, USA - JAN 4, 2012
Courtesy of Slayer85, thanks Andrea! Lovely fresh hop nose, lots of floral and herbal notes along with honey and crackers, and just a touch of melon. Palate is dry and crisp with crackery malts, floral hops, a touch of lemon and some dusty yeast. Light on the tongue, but holds together quite well. Very impressive beer, and brewer. One to watch for certain.

tderoeck (1598) - Gent, BELGIUM - NOV 4, 2011
30/10/2011 on tap @ Open Baladin, Rome (2011-595)

Little cloudy yellow beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive with nice lacing. Aroma: flowers, fruity hops, some honey, herbal, grassy. MF: good carbon, light to medium body. Taste: citrus fruits, grapefruit, exotic fruits, pineapple, bitter hops. Really good and lots of flavour for very little alcohol!
