Bouteille 660ml sous le nom de "Saint-Antoine-Abbé Blonde". De couleur dorée pâle et légèrement voilée. Nez de grains de malt sucrés, légèrement fruité (citron) avec des notes de miel, d’épices et de plastique brûlé. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse aux notes minérales. Goût assez citronné lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec des notes de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve de très légères notes de houblon avec des traces de plastique. Post-goût court-moyen, composé de notes mielleuses et des traces herbeuses. (2006)

pours pale yellow with a small white head, little retention. infected. tart citrus, grainy, malts are mia - watery. average carbonation, light body.

Bottle (660ml) shared with HogTownHarry & GregClow -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear pale gold with an average size diminishing bubbly white head. Aroma: YUCK. Luckily as it sits there it gets a little less "ass" but still...I smelt pine-sol, airplane glue, stale hops and...geez, I don’t know, bad stuff. I’m almost scared to taste it. Flavour: What th’!? Pale Ale!? This bears no resemblance to a Pale Ale at all. Ridiculous. Pine-sol again along with lemon cleaner, spices and a hint of fruit and stale hops. Sooo bad. Light bodied. This is just downright awful, avoid!

Bottle suffered through with HogTownHarry & blankboy - HogTownHarry’s bottle, that fucking bastard. Light golden with a small white head. Aroma of airplane glue and burnt plastic, with some faint stale malt. Thin body. Flavour is sour and vegetal, but thankfully short, with a completely dead finish. American Pale Ale, my ass - which coincidentally is what it tastes like!

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2007 Bottle (660ml). Inflicted on blankboy and GregClow, my bottle via Viper666. Slightly hazy gold, small bubbly off-white head. If I’m charitable (and I’m not) I might say this is like watered down ginger ale liberally mixed with stagnant dishwater ... it’s ... like solvent and ditchwater, slightly sweetened. Ugly. The taste - Oh God - the same, but admix PVC and spoiled creamed corn. Water and chemicals on the palate, ugly. Man, ugly.

Robe blonde très claire sans mousse. Arômes âcres et acides de malt. Saveurs âcres et acides de malt.

Bu sur place, 5 oz. Couleur blonde simple, bon collet. Arome de malte faible. Goût simple, pas impossant.

Pours a slightly hazy blonde color with a thick white head. Decent aroma of spicy hops, honey and fruits (pears I guess). Flavor of honey, bread and fruits. Light body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Ordinary.

Hazy golden body with a thin and diminishing frothy head. Sweet honeyish aroma with hoppy and citrusy notes. Boring watery taste with tiny yeasty and citrusy hints. Very short aciditic finish. Totally unexciting...

Densely-sedimented pale tan colour with a thick, fluffy head. Aroma is slightly lactic with pears, yeast. Similar palate. Soft body. Yeast, fruity-hoppy and light bready notes. Off-dry finish. OK session Belgian.
