Surprised by the low scores, I thought this was delicious. The aroma isn’t huge but has that classic Belgian Blonde honey/yeast fragrance. Sort of darkish yellow mildly cloudy. Taste was very good, nice banana and melon with bubblegum and honey. Nice body on this beer too. Its one of my wifes favorite styles and she loved it as well.

Bottle @ Yngwie’s, courtesy of Yngwie. Thanks man! :-) Slightly hazy orange body with a small white head. Aroma is Belgian ale yeast, pale malts and citric tones. Taste is pale malts, lemon, straw and dry, grassy hops with hints of molasses. Sweet aftertaste with hints of honey. OK, but no beauty.

Bottle. A clear one, golden in body and with a small, dense, off-white head. Fruity and citrusy aroma with some hoppyness, rather sugary. Pleasantly bitter flavor, with some alcohol notes. Citrus, fruityness and a solid dose of white sugar. Full-bodied and almost sticky. Sweet, fruity finish. A bit too sugary for my likings, but quite drinkable anyway. At least in small quantities. 111030

Aroma is lightly yeasty with some apple/pear fruitiness and even some tropical fruit. Taste is quite fruity with apple/pear and pineapple. Active carbonation; light bitterness in finish. Nice.

330mL bottle poured into goblet a golden color with big white head. Pleasant yeasty and caramel malt aromas. Relatively sweet at first, but finishing with a little bit of hop and some bitterness. Overall, a nicely balanced beer with good carbonation and nice mouthfeel.
