Style: Belgian Ale
Harelbeke, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2008 Fresh, fruity and floral aroma, grassy hops. Quite dry and low bitterness. Not amazing, but good : )

Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Lightly hazy pale amber, creamy head. Sweet malty nose. There’s dough and vanilla and a touch of orange. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Mild and warminr with notes of mustard. A gentle. well balanced beer.

Avarage one from the wide selection of belgian blonde ales. Not bad, not good... Drinkable but not an exciting one...

This wasn’t really my cup of tea, not the best example of this style that I have ever tried. Floral and fru fru, some decent fruitiness, slightly dry base maltiness.

Petrus Blond is slightly red-yellow with medium white head. Aroma is very sweet and there are flowers and also some berries in the background. Flavour is also sweet but it changes much dryer in the end. Carbonation is quite high but still this it nice to drink. Balanced and nice beer and not so over-sweet and juicy-like than Dubbel Bruin from the same brewery.

ZBF2008: From tap. Pours clear and golden yellow with a dense white head. Solid pilsner and hoppy aroma. Flavour is pilsner malt, solid bitterness. Goes into a dry finish, medium to full bitter flavour.

Bottle bought in Belgium. Generous head, clear dark gold with lots of bubbles. Orange-yeasty, lemon smell. Salty-sour taste with almost no sweetness. No citrics, bit of lemon, nice grainy heaviness, bit of moutiness, hint of caramel.

Lazy hazy yellow, typical foamy Belgian head. First impression is somewhat of a tart sourness. Lots of carbonation. Body is medium light. Decent depth of flavor. Getting a good bit of spiced banana bread, and maybe some cloves toward the end. Pretty decent beer, nothing amazing.
