4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Yeast, spice and a slight tartness in aroma. The flavor is bread, yeast, citrus, a slight tartness and a mild alcohol finish. Very solid BSA.

(750ml bottle). Pours a hazy golden-orange color with a generous white head that leaves some sticky lacing. Active carbonation. Aroma has loads of belgian yeast, candied sugar, some herbal/floral notes. and honey. Taste is sweet with more herbal/floral notes. Medium bodied with a slick texture. Just a touch of alcohol warmth, which is pretty amazing considering it’s 10% abv. Super beer.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle as in picture, 2010 edition. Clear golden colour, creamy white head that sets in to small pluffs of foam. Aroma of wheat, malts and some dried fruits. Also a bit bready. Soft, easy going flavour of malt, some alcoholic sweetness and the softness of the wheat. Nice in balance, hiding the alcohol very well. Liked it better than the blue edition.

2008 bottle...pours a hazy pale yellow with a thick, foamy white head...nice lacing and retention. Aroma has sweet candy sugary notes, orange citrus, and mild herbal notes...clovey and yeasty. Flavor is much more bitter and less sweet than the aroma suggests...very hoppy and bitter...herbal...still a touch yeasty. Mouthfeel is light/medium and very lively with a very dry and bitter finish.

75cl bottle (edition 2011) @ Fiere Margriet, Leuven, Belgium
Lovely golden color when poured into the glass. A little white head. The nose was fruity and sweet. Drinks good for a strong beer like this. I loved the sparkling feeling in my mouth.

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!
