Bottle from Pitfield Beer Shop, London. 330ml. Served in a chalice. Pale gold, pours cloudy with a sparse, quickly dissipating white head. Lager like aroma with spice, and slightly metallic. Light and smooth, bitter with spice. Dry in the mouth. Very nice. Similar to Duvel.

From BA (11 Feb 2007) 33cl brown bottle:
Poured into a Duvel glass, it looked the part, a little lighter than Duvel, but very simular with its huge white head. Golden clear, until I added the sediment towards the end.
Wheaty smell, summer flowers and hops also, but nothing strong.
8.5%, but no great flavour or taste to it, even after I had added the bottom of the bottle in. A flowery, almost sweet feel to it, the sweetness hangs around, but nothing comes and bites you with this beer.
Not a bad blond, but not up with the best either, if I ever see it on tap, I’ll give it another go, otherwise, I will not be buying it again.

A very decent belgian strong with characteristics of a blonde. Tastes of alcohol, citrus, with some floral notes. Also a bit of wheat.

A lot of grain flavours. A littje bit more powerfull than the avarage belgian blonde beer. Large quantities of cream and gas.

This Belgian blonde has a very grainy/ wheaty aroma and pours bright yellow with a extremely carbonated head. It tastes crisp with a lingering flavor to the back of your mouth.

Poured a lovely clear gold into a fluted glass. Nearly four full fingers of bubbly head, retreating slowly. Spotty lacing left on the glass. Very little detectable nose - perhaps slight hints of citrus. Quite crisp on first taste, with mildly floral hoppiness taking over quickly. Seems a fairly generic blonde, with a single hop flavor dominating. Does do a pretty decent job hiding the significant alcohol content, which only manifests at the very end of a sip with a burn on the back of the tongue. As it warmed, an unpleasant, almost soapy flavor took over.
