Bottle, pours a slight cloudy gold color, with a thin white head, light aroma of bread, citrus and slight spice. Initial taste is somewhat sweet but finishes dry, slight metallic notes, slightly fruity esters. Not a bad brew.

Bottle. Pours a clear nice golden amber colour with a medium good lasting creamish white head leaving a thick creamish lacing. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel,and slight yeast. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is rather mild with caramel, toasted malt, bit of metal and alcohol, fruits, some hops and yeast. Sweet toastish metallic finish.

Better that most domestic Blondes. Light aroma of citrus fruits and hops. Flavor was clean and yeasty.

330ml bottle. Clear amber, thin head. Crisp, almost pilsy, aroma, slightly metalic tinges. Pleasant carbonation. Simple taste, common to belgian blonds - sweet very light malts and gentle, but noticible sharp hoppiness. Good as an aperatif.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden brown with some white head. Nose is pretty mild actually. Slightly hoppy with a little bit of a sweet edge. A touch of yeast. A touch of what might be described as a light floral perfume. Flavor is actually nice and full. Has a slight sweet edge to it that has a citric tone. I am actually surprised a bit. I didn’t expect it to be so full and even. It does have a bit of a syrupy tone to it, though it is not overwhelming. Mouthfeel is pretty good. Slight edge of carbonation. Very drinkable. I could down these all night and right now I am wishing I had more to be able to do just that. This is the first out of the Petrus 6-pack I picked up. It’s a good start.
