2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 JanLaursen (721) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - AUG 29, 2011
Clear golden beer with a frothy but quickly diminishing head. Sweet, fruity aroma with notes of malty caramels, bubblegum, orangepeel and some rather weak spicey hints of yeast phenols (banana and clove). Taste is medium tutti frutti-sweet with a short light bitter herbal hop finish. As belgian blondes go this one is rather one dimensionel and un-intensive. Not bad, just bland.

Yep I finally got around to rating this, bottle served in a Ommegang tulip: Pours a beautiful golden hue with a big frothy head and very nice lace. The aroma has notes of pils, light crystal, aromatic wheat, herbal hops, yeast phenols of banana, clove and mineral. The taste is mild pale and sweet malts with just a touch of fruity and spice notes. Very minimal hop presence and noted bubblegum tone throughout. Lucky that the finish is actually pretty short and mostly clean so I continued to drink. The mouth feel is light and sprite. Overall a very common tasting atypical Belgian Blond meaning that is mostly forgettable. Yep, tasted just like it has in the past.

Bottle. Your basic blond Belgian ale. Not really my favorite style and not much to my liking. Belgian yeast, pepper, banana.

Bottle. Pours clear golden amber with large foamy white head. Aroma of yeast, pepper, banana. Taste is similar with more emphasis on the banana, and quite spicy. Slight carbonation, not too much. I really like this readily available and decently priced Belgian Ale...a great sipper on a hot summer day.

Pours a clear gold. Bannana bread, and clove tastes. Very yeasty...This is no American blonde thats for sure.Taste more like what i’m familiar with in a Hefe. Its easy to drink and it taste fansastic, Almost like a lighter beer with a massive amount of flavor.
