Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Feb 2, 2007 75 cl bottle. Golden with a lots of sediment and a huge, nice head. The aroma has sweet, but light notes of fruits, coriander and yeast. The flavour has the same notes, but also citrus (tangerine), and a hint of resin in the finish. A really nice blonde, a little more complex than most. eyesandsmiles (179), Mission Viejo, California, USA Feb 2, 2007 Updated: Jan 3, 2008really tasty stuff. for being 8% it tastes like candy. almost too sweet for me but still very interesting. refreshing and strong. talon1117 (616), Bellvue, Colorado, USA Feb 1, 2007 Updated: Mar 12, 2007BB 2009. Pours a hazy, orange-copper color with sediment; head is average, white, and fizzy while being mostly diminishing. Nose is orange peel, banana, apricot, yeasty, complex spicing, and light floral; pleasant, nothing special. Spices more prominent in the flavor with pepper, thyme, and oregano; backing notes of orange (fruit and peel), yeast, light banana, and faint toasted notes. Dries out somewhat as it progresses towards the finish which lingers with orange peel, some earthy/spicy notes, and yeast with an almost moderate bitterness. Palate is soft to lively, medium, and delicate/soft in texture. Alcohol is present in this, moreso than others of the style, but it only adds to the boldness of the beer. A great combination of unique, spicy, power with exceptional drinkability. This brewery really knows how to create some great spiced Belgians. FlagstoneHill (211), Erie, Colorado, USA Jan 28, 2007 Fruity (apricots, plum) aroma with spicy hints. . . Clear, burnt orange/golden with Tall puffy white meringue-like head.. . . Fruity, spicy, yet quite smoothly balanced. Hints of coriander. . . Lt/med body with lots of carbonation. Takes a while to settle down . . . Very tasty Belgian Blonde beer. The Spicy character balances the fruitiness from the yeast. .
VikingHammer (362), Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA Jan 28, 2007 Pours a cloudy blound with an off white head. Taste of fruits. Nice full mouth. finishes strong. Lots of carbonation. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA Jan 28, 2007 Tap. Pours a golden color with a slight tinge of orange. Nose is funky in a good way; malts and fruits. Flavor is barnyard, apples, and musty. Spicy with a lively carbonation. This is delicious and reminds me of a saison. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Jan 24, 2007 Updated: Sep 27, 2008Re-rate 7/15/08: Draught. Hazy golden-orange with a quickly-diminishing medium white head. Fruity aroma with coriander, citrus, malt, some yeast and maybe a bit of honey. Sweetish spicy flavor with coriander, fruity yeast, some caramel and a dry finish with notes of hops and alcohol. Medium-bodied. Not bad but definitely not as good as I used to think it is. Way too spicy for my liking. 8/3/6/3/13=3.3
(Re-rated on 7/7/07. Numbers are the same. Added a bit to the description). Bottle. Clear golden, a bit sparkling, with a big white head. Aroma is wonderful malty sweet, fruity and spicy. Flavor is sweet, yet not too sweet, citrusy, spicy, and with light hoppiness that gives a great balance. Finishes spicy, sweetish, a bit alcoholic, and with a bitter touch. Medium body. 8/4/8/4/17=4.1 Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 22, 2007 Hazy dark gold. Not much aroma. OK head. Little tingly palate. This one shines on the flavor. Very smooth and very tasty. Nice little spicy / fruity flavors. Very drinkable.
