RB Odense Early Summer Fun. Hazy orange with a big and lasting white head. Hazy golden with a big and lasting white head. Aroma of cane sugar, peach and other tropical fruit. Sweet malty flavour with sugar and fruits and alcohol

Bottle @ Odense Tasting June 2013. Pours cloudy golden with a large white foam. Nose is alcohol , vegetables and grain. Caramel and alcohol. Sticky. Blah.

Bottle @ a recent tasting... Poured hazy golden/yellow with a thick white head. Straight forward, easy drinking with big citrus tones and yeast esters along with some floralness. Some effervescent fruit and yeast characters stuck around on this one with a mild funk at the start and the finish.

Bottle, over a year old at this point. Pours a bright and clear light copper body with a beautiful one inch frothy bright white head that left lots of lacing. Nice light visible carbonation. Very bright and inviting looking. The nose is pale malt, some nice light slightly sweet esters with a heavy yeast influence. Very subtle and delicate aroma, not overpowering in any specific quality, just light and airy, despite the slightly noticeable alcohol. The flavor is pretty heavy in the malt, yet it still feels very light and delicate with a lot of liveliness. There’s a light hoppiness that’s still in here, but it’s very subtle and light with minimal bitterness. This is all about the interplay between the malt and yeast by products instead of the hops that the commercial description talks about. Despite the heavy alcohol, this still seems way lighter than your average 9% beer. Lingering sweet honey maltiness with a light hoppiness. Fizzy and spritzy carbonation level adds to the lightness and lack of alcohol heat. This is a really nice beer, goes to show that a little cellar time sometimes does good things for some of these heavy Belgian style beers.

Jsut didn’t understand this oen, very fruity, doesn’t seem that hoppy at all.

Sampled at an esbls tasting. Hazed golden with a thin off white layer. A funky fruity nose. A farmhouse flabor leads. It is funky, malty, and fruity. It smooths out shortly and becomes a bit buttery. Soft fruit. This is nice.

Fresh American style farmhouse yeast aroma. Enormous bubbly white head on hazy yellow. Smooth drinking and very drinkable farmhouse, with enough hops to keep it on the bitter side and interesting. Some spice in the finish.

smells not that much. hazy blonde, like a winterfire kind-of colour. tastes very mediocer belgian blonde ale. nothing special, accept for the nice label and best beer - description ever ( a verbal written guitarrif-based song that goes zumzumzumzum ) :p opened with 77 ships

Bottle from City Beer. Pours golden with a nice off-white head and a banana aroma. There is a carbonated slightly sweet fruit and toffee flavor . Lots of yeast presence and a bit of banana ester.
