cloudy dark orange colour with a fine dense creamy head, strong citrusy and yeasty nose, some grapefruit and spices, medium-bodied, some acidity, the finish is slightly dry and spicy with notes of grapefruit and some residual sweetness - lively and refreshing

33cl bottle @ home. Clear yellow / golden color, medium sized fizzy and lively white head. Smell malts, a sour hint, yeast and herbs. Taste malts, herbs, lightly sweet-bitter. Most of the taste is dominated by high, fizzy carbonation. Low to medium body.

Golden coloured beer, a good sized and good holding head. Very herbal, mostly sweet, fruits and slightly hopped. The herbs are a bit to overwhelming for me.

fruity aroma, fine white foam, nice golden color, light sparkling, medium sweet taste, refreshing, enjoyed it

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2011 Bouteille 33cl. After update from brewery, this is the same beer as Bonne F 104.9. Dorée présentant un léger trouble. Arôme, nez fruité très agréable, houblonné avec agrumes, pelure orange et nez d’épices. En bouche, fruit bien présent allant sur le tropical et orange, sucré rappelant le candi, levure belge avec un malt en retrait. Le tout peu aller vers le masrhmallow et se boit quasi comme une blanche belge impériale.

Bottle. Pours yellow gold. White head. Gusher. Nose/taste of lemon, yeast, sweet malt and mild spices. Medium body. Finishes a bit malty with lemon and some spice.

Fløska, thanks for sharing this one Plovmand. Yeasty sweet malty aroma. Hazy golden colour with tiny floaties. Flavour: malty, yeasty, bit spiced, some fruit. Bit strange blonde.

Bottle shared with Faroeviking. Hazy golden pour with a medium white head. The aroma is hay, yeast, caramel, spices, fruit and some berries. The flavour is light acid, yeast, caramel, spices and fruit. Quite ordinary blonde with a fruity and yeasty impression.

Bottle (33 cl) from Etre Gourmet. Shady golden, medium white head. Spicy and hoppy aroma, with notes of orange peels. Moussy mouthfeel. Fairly dry, bitter finish.

Shared this one w/SkyCop32. Pours a medium golden yellowish color. Aromas of fruit, yeast and some pepper. Flavors are sour, yeasty, and a touch of sweetness at the finish.

Bottle from Utobeer. Very lively pour, leading to some spillage. Hazy, pale gold in colour with a thin, white head. Candy sugar aroma with a touch of spice and yeast. Light mouth feel, with sugary sweet flavour, some cereal malts and honey, before a short, dry finish. Did not pack much punch for a relatively strong beer.
