Can. Golden body with a medium white head. Spicy aroma with malty and fruity notes. Lots of banana and a touch of hops. Flavour very fruity with hints of caramel, banana, spicy yeast and a bite of alcohol. Medium bodied. Ends up fruity and spicy.

A Belgian junior really it lacks bite flavor alcohol etc of the usual .... the aroma smells fruity poured golden color with some white head taste of fruity notes and slightly hoppy with a little bite to the end it wasn’t a bad sipper but for the money there are way way better

Clear golden color with a large white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, fruit, banana and a spicy note. Taste is malty with some hoppy bittterness. Some banana here also. Pretty good on even though it doesnt seem like a blonde to me.

Bottled, 330ml. Gold to brown with white head, floaters. Pretty sweet straight from the off, with a spiced and fruity body, possibly over spiced for me. Yeasty, malty but there is a certain lack of depth. Had many better Abbey Tripels.

Golden with a disapearing white head. Aroma dominated by fruit (banana) and spice from the yeast. Dry and slightly caramelly, with a slightly tart spicy note.

Bottle. A poor representation of the style, below average. Watery and uninspired.

Bottle pours a clear pale golden yellow color with a foamy white head. Excellent webbed lacing along the glass. Aroma of yeast, sweet malt, banana, coriander and other spices. Flavor starts sweet and malty with a fair amount of yeast but there is a nice hop bitterness that makes a quick appearance in the finish. Prickly carbonation on the tongue but overall the mouthfeel is a little thin and watery.

Can Fakta dkr 12,- Golden almost clear colour with a nice head. Aroma and taste of sweet fruit, banana and hop. Nice and well balanced but a bit boring. And to servants and waitresses at café and pubs: Blonde doesn´t mean weiss or wit!
