Mar 8, 2008 Pour is beautiful...hazy yellow with a tall meringue like head, nose is fruity, taste is wonderful...aftertaste is a bit bitter for what the rest of the beer represents....but that’s the style. All ’round good beer

Mar 4, 2008 Updated: Oct 10, 2009Don’t get me wrong, it fits the bill perfectly. I think the Belgian Blondes are just all tasting the same. Very much like Chimay Blanc - very fruity nose ending on a bitter note.

Perfectly gold colored pour with a white head. Smell is honey, and some malted wheat like sweetness for some reason. Taste is rich tart and sweet with some balancing hops and a belgian yeasty character. Hint of dusty funk in the finish. Overall, not stellar but good.

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle. Nose has a light acidity with some hop presence and citrus sweetness. Clear yellow with a thin head. Flavor opens bready and sweet, finishes soft and sour. Smooth, well balanced.

Mar 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow, thick bubbly head. Strong acidic citrus aroma/ lemon zest and honey wheat. Tangy citrus flavor with some wheat and bitter hops. Palate is a little thin, but tolerable, and well balanced.

Feb 29, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2008This is wonderful and absolutely one of the best Belgain strong ales I’ve ever had, if not the best. It’s a bright gold with a pretty big, dense white head that lasts very long and leaves decent lace. The aroma is rich, fruity, flowery, a definite Belgian-ale aroma but a bit more hoppy, flowery, citrusy, and complex. The taste is similar: it tastes like a Belgian strong ale such as Delirium, Tremens or Duvle, but has more complexity, more hoppy-citrusy-flowery character and a little more bitterness, with grain, hints of spice, nuts, pears, and honey, It’s wonderful.

Feb 28, 2008 on tap at the brew pub in santa rosa. pours a mostly clear gold with a moderate white head. nose of nutty malts, spice-laden pears, some wood. the taste starts off just like that, then kicks in with a healthy dose of piney and earthy hops. moderate lingering earthy bitterness, with light sweetness. medium of body, and a lot of bubbliness. mouthfeel is resinous and coating, rather like an ipa, but maybe a bit more slippery. a very nice, rather unique ale.
