Brodie (540) - Blowing Rock, North Carolina, USA - APR 1, 2006
Bright, fruity aroma, light clove-like phenolics, mild graininess.Slightly hazy pale golden color, big, long-lasting white head. Crisp flavor, nice balance of fruitiness and light malt, a little spicy from the yeast profile. Medium-light body, very high carbonation, dry finish; very drinkable, if you don’t mind a few burps. A really nice Belgian blonde that I would classify as a classic example of the style - it’s not over the top, but very enjoyable and highly drinkable.

This is really good beer. It has nice thick head and sort of a subtle hoppiness to it.

ComradeK (530) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - MAR 29, 2011
330ml bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow, with a large white head, good retention but minimal lace. The aroma is an odd mixture of yeast notes, sweet spices and honey. It smells a bit like gulab jamun dumplings, in fact, for those who know what those are. It is quite hoppy to begin, with lemon zest a prominent flavour. Honey comes in soon after, followed by a touch of candied orange peel. The finish is as smooth and sweet as muscat. This feels quite well made, and it is quite a complex brew, but it is just a bit too sweet for my tastes.

On draft at the beerfestival at Groot-Vorst (Chiro). A blond beer with a small white head. Fruity and yeasty aroma. Some lemon and oranges. Fruity and slightly spicy flavour. Some nice hopbitterness at the end.

UPDATED: FEB 16, 2012 Zeer lichtgekleurd bier met een witte kraag. Aroma spreekt me niet zo aan, wat hop en muffig. Smaak is ok, sterk, wat zoet en bittere hop, verder weinig uitgesproken. Valt me niet mee
