Yellowish colour (young home made Aligote wine), very cloudy, respectable foamy head. Fruity aroma and palate. An extradose of yeast.

Bottle. Pale golden amber colour, white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity, bit spicy. Flavour is a bit odd for a blonde, sour and bitter fruits like green apples and orange, a bit of spices. Mouthfeel is rather dry. Don’t really like this one.

Ive had this chillin’ in the fridge for a few weeks. Other booze has come and gone -but this has sat there happily. I was wrong to chastise this beer. Its way better than I reckoned.Spicy dry and malty-with fruit esters in the house-banana and pear ? Duvel like.

From Superbrugsen, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 300708. Golden with white head. Aroma of yeast and malt. Flavor of honey and a dry crisp. Yeast esters all over.

Bottle brown, 330 ml
Appearance: Pours hazy - yeasty in body texture, very mild carbonation, body colour is honey like, deep shiny golden, even oily but more pale than ’La Trappe Tripel’. Head is initially small, slightly off - white, foamy and quite quickly decreasing and disappearing, there in no visible lacing especially due to rather not distinctive head in that kind of beer.
Aroma: Very gentle orangy, orange peal, refreshing, dlightly yeasty, white wine grapes, white table wine, mild sweetness, some notes of good quality grains, wheat, white bread, fresh bakary.
Flavour: Grainy, white bread, wheat, generally more towards grains and maltyness with bitter hoppyness on palate and moderate hoppy nose, some minerality in nose and accidity on palate. Alcohol is perfectly hidden as for auch a pale blond Belgian ale. Reduced dramatically in its fruityness as compared to Dubbel, Tripel and Quadrupel. Finish duration is long.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is dry especially towards finish palate and aftertaste becomes dry, carbonation on palate is dry, finish feel ich chalky, flour, grainy with gentle and positively nice alcoholic warmth.
