COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

KAggie97 (3290) - 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.

BeerCast_Rich (1202) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JAN 1, 2012
[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 (356) - 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.

BeerBaboon (967) - FINLAND - DEC 17, 2011
Oranssin värinen olut, jonka pääälle muodostuu runsas, paksu, alkoinen vaahto. Tuoksussa on parfyymiä ja korianteria joiden alla on hieman hedelmäisyyttä. Maussa on saippuaa, mausteisuutta ja makeutta. Jonkin verran tässä tuntuu myös alkoholi. Suhteellisen paksu, vaalea ja vahva belgi. Todellista herkkua tämä ei ole, mutta tarpeeksi mielenkiintoinen olut on kuitenkin kyseessä.

lusikka (2533) - Tampere, FINLAND - NOV 30, 2011
750 ml bottle. 2010 version.
Pours a clear, light yellow colour with a large, foamy, white head. Quite heavy aroma of sweet mandarin orange, alcohol and toffee. Flavour of caramel malts, mandarin orange, toffee, spices and slight yeastiness. Medium bodied, somewhat sticky mouthfeel and a long, warming, toffee, spicy finish. Somewhat Christmassy actually. Inferior compared to the blue one.

Bottle. Gold orange pour with a nice sticky white head. Medium and slightly fizzy palate. Aroma and taste is clove, yeast, booze, and light fruit. Awesome.

drowland (3901) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - NOV 19, 2011
11/19/11. 750mL bottle. Hazy golden pour with a thick, fluffy, off-white head that lasts forever and laces plenty. Metallic aroma up front followed by sweet esters, light candy sugar, and a mix of lemon and lime peel... interesting. Sweet malty and candy sugar laden flavor, even sweeter and fruitier than the aroma. Not bad, but a bit sweet.

hawthorne00 (1441) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - NOV 19, 2011
2010 bottle. 11C. Pale gold with a large white head that laces extravagantly. Aroma of oranges, peaches, vanilla, saffron, aniseed, brioche. Creamy mouthfeel is a little overcarbonated. Sweet with dough and oranges, plenty of spices and some alcohol at the end. Creeping bitterness quells the sweetness quite a bit. Very classy spices, a bit too much booze.
