Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wheat, fruit, yeast, and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit and dusty hops, leading to a dry straw finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn/boboski. Hazy golden with an off-white head. Hoppy, citrusy nose. Medium body with lightly sweet fruit notes and a dry, astringent and fairly hoppy finish. There’s nothing much Belgian about this. 171207

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Hoppy fruity and slight liqourice nose. Flavour is slight spiced and solid malty. Goes into a classic strong US hoppy flavour, although more on the bitter side than the floral/fruity side. Ends bitter.

Bottled@The Chriso rock the roof down pre-GBBF tasting. Yellowish golden colour with small white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, yeast and some mild toffee. Flavour is caramel, toffee, some alcohol, mild wooden and fruity notes. A quite true to the style Belgian Blonde Strong Ale.

Bottled, thanks Immy! Hazy deep golden, lively head. Yeasty almond aroma. Swet and fruity. Densely malty with notes of butter and some grassy/spicy hops. Medium bodied with some crystal malt character.

Bottled on 2007-02-22, 1 year old, 8% ABV
It pours a cloudy orange-copper color, with a creamy head that disappears quite quickly. In the beginning the aroma is sweet and malty, but this as well vanishes; and later there is more accent on the partially fruity hop, light but nice. It has a good mouthfeel, with a very good toffee flavor and a good hopping, both well bitter and aromatic, with dry resins and character. Long final, very bitter, of Belgian memory. A solid Belgian Strong Ale.
