Color oro, schiuma in quantità normale e biancastra, aroma dolciastro non troppo intenso ma complesso, fatto di erbe, frumento, spezie, una punta di luppolo. Al palato è morbida, forse un pò troppo dolce per i miei gusti, ma è gradevole e discretamente bilanciata con toni di lievito,spezie, malto e luppolo. Discreta.

Pours with a clear golden yellow hue with a small white head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma is of spices, alcohol, wheat, oats and other grains - some hops but not much Flavor is spicy all the way through -tastes quite good actually. Lightish-medium mouthfeel, with light carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow color, with a fairly frothy white head. Aroma is of yeasty dough, slighty amount of spice, grassy hops and sweet malts. Flavor is quite yeasty, with notes of dough, a faint touch of spice like coriander and clove, some grassy and citrussy hops and fairly sweet malts. It is also fairly fruity with some banana notes. The body is medium and slightly watery, and a slightly dry mouthfeel. Overall a solid belgian ale, that would work great as a session beer!

golden with nice head. Aroma sweet, yeast, hops. Taste yeast, hops, some metallic. Medium text/body. Carb aver. Finish bittersweet hops.

missing some taste. afterr drinking westhoek beers, this is quit boring and too sweet.

Light amber high carbonation thick retention for a frothy cloud white head that wont subside anytime today. Aromas of hops, grain, medium caramel, light fruit, touch of wet wood, light spice. Spicy, zesty, tad bit earthy, little grassy. Many of these minor but subsequently mixed complicated strains of aroma flow through in there own way to the mouth. Light wood, slight earthy tone, caramel that swiftly complements the light undertone of the light hop zests, and quick light noted of grain and grass. A blonde not for the blond, as to say in a sense, the blind.

Thin head the carbonation seems strong enough in a gold pour aroma fruity woody note slight floral spice hint flavour bit soapy yeast grain orange this bottle had aged a short while mild bitter malt sweetness mourishing has a light fizz finish plesant morishing flavour smooth on the palate good blonde
