Commercial Description:
Available with two labels - Blonde in Wallonia and Fakir in Flanders and Canada. Though it is also relabelled as La Molagnarde Blonde. This is a particularly good blonde beer with lots of strong, clean citric hop character throughout. The orange peel that is included amongst the ingredients tends to only come through in the nose. We find this beer is great when served straight from the fridge as a little of the freshness is lost as it warms up.

Pours a hazy golden yellowish orange color with a two finger frothy white head that quickly settles into a lasting ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Spicy peppery aroma with a strong citrus presence. Hints of crisp light fruit, mostly apple and pear, as well as corriander, lemon zest. Creamy medium body with a lot of zesty, peppery spice up front followed by some crisp apple and pear notes as well as some light fruit notes, again apple and pear with a bit of banana. Slightly tart dry finish.

On tap (Eulogy - Busty Blonde). Pours a hazy bright gold with a thick frothy white head. A light sweet malt and citrus aroma. The taste is sweet malt, honey, subtle coriander, citrus with a nice crisp finish. Light bodied and easy to drink.

Tap at Eulogy, listed as Eulogy Busty Blond. Pours yellow cloudy. Nose is sweet and light. Taste is sweet, light, and pretty damn drinkable.

Bottle at De Spuyt. Dark orange body with rocky, creamy head. Citrus nose. Taste of oranges and citrus. Malt flavours too. Spicyness in the finish. Good.

Poured a hazy medium copper in colour, with a tremendously large white foamy head; some slight lacing involved here. Aroma was sweetish like malt but more fruity. Taste was most complex and intriguing, being of spices and fruit. Great stuff!

Served at Stella’s on commercial drive in Vancouver. Must have had a good bottle because this beer was fantastic for me. Golden yellow-orange color with billowing off-white head. Aroma of sweet citrus, bread and honey. Flavors of apricots, orange, honey, yeast and understated spice and grains finishing clean and refreshing.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Hazy blond beer with lasting quick thick beige head. Bit of puke on aroma. A lot better in mouth, with some decent lightness to the malts. And then some ok hop on finish. Still, not the greatest blond in the world. Ok.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye cork says #4191. Nice gold pour with a cream head that dissipates to a ring quite fast. Nose is heavy on yeast, dried fruits and some slight musk. Light on the palate with a musk flavor that is backed by spices and fruit. Clean finish and well carbonated.
