Objectively speaking:
An honest golden ale that hesitates between English and Belgian inspirations.
I like:
Appealing citrusy hops. Soft cerealic pale malts, rather fresh, bready, clean. No acidity. Easy-drinking for 7%. Firm-bodied.
I dislike:
Limited yeast character, no fruitiness.

May 14, 2009 Pours a hazy gold color with a small white head. Aroma are fruity and floral with a honey top. Flavors of bitter fruits and herbs and straw with a little honey finish. Slightly different and plesant beer.

Jan 30, 2009 Appearance: It pours a clear golden beer with a beautiful white head. Aroma: Hoppy with hints of sage and lemon peel. Rather strong. Belgian yeast character. Flavor and palate: Good bitterness. Lemon peel, quinces and sage appearing. Flowery. Complex. Rather full bodied. Wonderful long bitter finish with hints of lemongrass and sage. Overall impression: Deeply pleasant. A very nice surprise.

Nov 15, 2008 75cl bottle. Hazy golden, fluffy white head. Hayish hoppy, grainy malty aroma, slight citric fruitiness and mint. Grainy, dry malty flavor, hayish hops, little alcohol in the finish. Medium to full bodied, smooth round carbonation. Simple but easy drinking and thirst quenching.

Aug 10, 2008 [1485-20080601] Bottle. Lemon aroma has a bit of grainy toasted yeast. Slightly hazy, medium orange light brown body with a long-lasting foamy white head. Wheat flavour has a slice of lemon accent. Medium body. Refreshing.

Jul 31, 2008 Golden beer with medium white head. Aroma is pleasant: complicated, slightly sour, citrus and some grass and pine needles are found. Flavour is quite similar than aroma, anyway flavour is quite dry and some spicyness and slightly musty in the end. Quite easy to drink but still even slightly oily meaning that nice beer to drink. Page 24 Blonde Réserve Hildegarde is refreshing beer with complicated aroma and flavour; interesting summer-beer.
