Well a nice blond good for a sunny hot evening. Yellow color with white head. Fresh aroma and a rather rich body.

Good strong blond ale. Not overpowering though like the Quad. Crisp, yet a bit heavy and sweet. Nice. Very good.

33cl bottle. Pours a dark golden colour with a huge frothy white head of medium density that gradually dissipates despite there being plenty of carbonation. Big banana aroma, slightly grainy with lots of sweetness. Sweet flavour profile with banana and bubblegum with a slight yeasty sourness, some bitterness and some alcoholic presence. Warming in the throat, thin body, slightly watery mouthfeel with a bit too much carbonation. Crisp and refreshing but one dimensional.

bottle, golden colour and nice but a bit unstable white head. Fruity smell, a bit like the quadrupel. Taste: very light, fruity, grainy, bananas, sweet (a little bit too sweet for me). But I’m surprised that the rating isn’t higher. Very good blond beer, certainly for a Dutch one!

330 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a big off-white head. Aroma is soft fruity and yeast. Flavor is a sweet, fruity and almost like matured apple cider. Medium body and a hint of alcohol in the aftertaste. Refreshing.
