Commercial Description:
Saaz Blonde is brewed according to the Belgian tradition but with Czech Saaz hops. It has a light colour with a blonde head. The flavour is fruity, contrasted by the dryness of angelica, clove and coriander. The aroma is rounded by a pine needle character from the Saaz hops. The finish has a moderate bitterness. Enjoy at 5-7 degrees Celsius.

1st thought..champagne beer. Very crisp and clean with a sugary sweetness. None of the cherry or dates of most Belgiums. Almost a cross between a German Pilsner and a Belgium sugar beer.The clove actually opens my sinuses. Palate falls apart a bit.2nd thought ...Almost need someone to help me finish this overly candied sweet beer.

Bottled sample. Dark gold in colour with fairly strong carbonation. Aromas of sweet pale malts, coriander, wheat, tropical flowers, and a hint of banana. More sweet malts in the mouth, along with some mild spices, booze, a bit of wood and sweet grasses. Light bodied, with some moderate (yet focused) bitterness. Not overly complex, but fairly drinkable.

Very average but tasty saaz blonde. Unique blend of flavors--cream and light spice. Pours light brown with a frothy head.

Pours a clear golden orange color with a foamy white head. Very bland aroma with slight earthy hop presence. Nice citrus hops up front with crisp golden fruit ( apple, pear) and alcohol. Subtle hop notes last throughout with a slightly dry finish.
