Bottle from local Sake Marche. Lots of yeast in the aroma. also slightly lemony. Cloudy dull green-tinged yellow with a big puffy head and very thick lacing. Sharp yeasty and sourish initial; mid palate goes tangy with citrus; finish is a little bitter. Medium body. A bit too heavy on the yeast -- and not terribly pleasant. Like a bitter fizzy fruit soda.

Palate: Creamy, smooth mouth feel

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle (Stockmann, Tallinn)
6 Pleasant soft bready aroma.
4 Hazy blond, large head. Glad it survived the brief freeze while my fridge was set to max.
7 Simple, but very tasty bready body. Yeasty and lemony retronasals.
4 Super smooth palate, but with nice carbonation. Finish is bready, but packs a wicked bitter tingle.
14 Bready and bitey, pretty much bang on for a Belgian blond.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
13/07/2011 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 3/5/13 (2011-323)
Cloudy yellow to light beige beer, off-white creamy head, stable and bit adhesive. Aroma: grapefruit, lemon zest, dish washing soap, reminds a bit of a Hoegaarden witbier. MF: too much carbon, light to medium body. Taste: lots of citrus, almost artificial lemony flavour. Not really bad, but somewhat one dimensional. Aftertaste: bit watery, more citrus and sour hops. Weird they call this a blond abbey beer.
