33 cl. botttle @ Edison, Koksijde. Deep golden with a white head. Grainy aroma and a grainy taste. More pils-like in taste than a blonde ale. Lively carbonation.

33 cl bottlecat Poperings hopmustum. Gold nody with very small white head. Aroma of tarwe. Taste iron and tarwe *

Pours a clear golden color with a white head. Horrible, horrible nose of butter, sour cream, and cheese. A bit of sweet bread, some grass, and light yeast. Terrible flavor, too. Horrendously buttery, some cheese, and a bit of sour cream. Grassy bitterness and sweet malt. An awful beer.

Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of malts, hops and pine. Light sweet malty flavour, light bitter. Sweet malty finish.
OK, but not very special.
(From 33cL bottle @ De Verloren Gernoare, Adinkerke)

33 cL bottle at the Palace in Poperinge, into own glass. Golden, opaque, gassy, with a good creamy/bubbly head. Nicely hopped, light citrus aroma. Smooth, slightly smokey, a touch spiced and somewhat Leffe like. Quite decent.

Clear gold, well-carbonated. Aroma of fruit and hay. Tasting moderately sweet with some bitterness. Creamy texture and long moderately bitter finish.

Bottle @ Bjarnes. Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, woodnotes, sweet fruity, light hoppy. Taste is malt, yeast, sweet fruit, light citrusly hops. Medium body, soft carbonation. 030612

Bottle, Clear blond coloured beer with average carbonation and a large white head. Rather light aroma with a sweet and light hoppy nose. Full palate. Finish is light bitter slight buttery (oxidated?). Medium.

Brown 33cl bottle, best before 29th Oct 2010, drank on a barmy evening 1st July 2009. The front label has a picture of a laughing nunn, but I bought it anyway! Poured swiftly into a Duvel glass. Large white head sat on top of a golden almost clear body. Yeasty smell, they have used Poperinge hops, so because I knew they were in there, I could smell them too! A lttle dry compared to a lot of Belgian Blondes, but pleasant enough. No huge flavours to comment on, a slight earthy, grainy feel to it, but this is just a run of the mill filtered Belgian pale beer in my opinion.

Crystal clear blond colour. Aroma is of fresh hops but also slightly soapy and sterile. A fresh tasting beer with light hoppiness.
