Amber or golden colour, with a nice blond head. Lovely beer, easy to drink.

Very little aroma, and very little head. Clear golden color and nice lacing. Fruity flavor, seemingly citrus, flows into a smooth light malty aftertaste.

i think, like their dubbel, grimbergens blonde stands out from other abbey ales in that it isn’t a very big beer. It can be a let down if you let it be, but going expecting this of grimbergen, i think it is excellent. It may not hav a huge set of complex yeast flavors but it does have some nie fruit aromas and it finishes super clean and refreshing. would be a great session beer, how often do you hear that about a tripel

Bottle. Pours golden blonde with a very tall off white head. Smell of fruit and hops, a little malt. Has a bitter bite to it followed by some fruit, malt and alcohol, lots of carbonation. Has something else I can’t quite point out, grass maybe. Hoppy fruity finish. Overall, this one has some bite and a long lasting aftertaste. Not bad, I’ll drink it again.

Bottle. Very light in color, blond and clear. Bright white foamy head. Fizzy and water consistency. Strong "beer" (hops & yeast) smell. Reminded me more of a Pilsner than an ale. Crisp clean taste, lite and refreshing. Good summer beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle, Pours a dark straw color with a small head that laces the glass pretty well. Slight citrusy/piney aroma which hints at the very balanced flavor, just hoppy enough to please the hop fans without being overpowered by them.

missing some taste. afterr drinking westhoek beers, this is quit boring and too sweet.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330 ml bottle poured into a Leffe glass. It pours a clear golden honey colour with a small head which mostly disappears. Aroma isn’t strong, but smells of sweet malt and subtle spice. Flavour is initially sweet, but gives away to a fairly dry floral/metallic hop finish, which lingers around. Overall, I would choose Leffe Blonde over this.

Odd sourness and oily mouthfeel. Just OK. Might not have been a good bottle.
