Bottle from beernavigator. Golden coulored with a big white head and lots of yeast sediment. Yeast and citrus on the nose. Very fresh, light body, yeast that brings both a fruity estery character and a small bitterness, citrus peel, grassy hops. Not a hop bomb but a very refreshing, and for it´s genre, hoppy belgian blond. Very exact and well balanced. I really enjoyed this beer.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 Label carries a proud 2011 Gold European Beer star.
Pours slightly hazy, amber. Clear white frothy head, which persists. Moderate carbonation.
Nose is slightly sweet (honey?), malty, but fresh. The oatmeal gives a hint of custard.
Taste starts malty, with herby notes. The oatmeal gives a hint of custard.
The wheat becomes apparent in the taste, giving it that wheat-sweet. But not overbearing. Well balanced and rounded, slightly herby (cinnamon, nutmeg) with subtle hops. Yeast shows up too. Finish is fairly dry. Pleasant ABV at 6,8%. Nice to see that Jopen Brewery brings back these old-style beers and ingredients.

Kissé opálos, világosabb narancs színe van, habja fehér, buborékos és nem túl kitartó. Illata édeskés, gyümölcsös maláta sütis, élesztős, enyhén gyógynövényes. Ízében is édesen kezd, hozza ezt a malátás, gyümölcsös vonalat, aztán hirtelen átcsap egy kissé komlós, de inkább zöld gyógynövényes keserűbe. Nem túl testes, szénsavas és sima. Utóíze keserű, kissé zöld és száraz. Érdekes főzet, de igazából nem tudom, hogy mit is akartak vele bemutatni...

Blond beer with a lot of creamy foam. Nose of herbs and hops. Nice bitter finish. Easy drinkable and refreshing.

0.33l bottle. A bit hazy orange body with a white head. Aroma of lemon zest, orange peel and some floral hops. Lots of floral, herbal hoppyness with some orange and caramel. The finish is really bitter. Not bad.

From Beernavigator.com. Also very big head, which leaves nice lacings. Saw some foam in the neck of the beer when I opened it. Fairly weak aroma, some yeast in it. Also remember this as a nice beer from a year ago. Can´t say that the hops are protruding in my sample. As it is called a "blonde beer", perhaps it should be compared with Christoffel Bier/Blonde. Then I get it. Although Christoffels beer is better than this sample. If one expect a light, refreshing beer with not too much resistance, then this is good. Not a bad beer, but will probably not order it again.
