Dry dusty aroma, light hops, some sweetness evocative of a Belgian ale. Sour canvas. Pale gold hazy with light white lacing head. Medium-thick watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with some sweetness, golden fruits, with medium bitterness and some ozone. Finish is more bitter with light acidity, and a bit salty. After has dry bitterness and just a bit of peppery sweetness.

(750ml bottle) Pours a large. white, frothy head and a golden body. It has a very yeasty nose and flavour with undertones of coriander, moss, bananas and maybe some pepper. Somewhat creamy. Good.

750 ml shared with CapFlu at Le Bistro des Bières Belges Clear hay colored, shining, proposing above average carbonation and a finely laced white head, foamy, but quickly diminishing. Delicate aroma, simply refreshing for the nostrils: belgian farmhouse, yeasty hay, a truckload of coriander, notes of ginger, bread, lemon zest. Very appealing for a Saison lover. In mouth, there's lots of coriander and belgian farm wet wood character. The finish is lightly bitter, but I found it rather disappointing, a stalling bitterness intertwined with the cobwebish profile from the dry yeast. It gets a lot drier (and cloudy)with the yeast poured. Remarkable mouthfeel: creamy, velvety, slightly biting. A fine belgian ale, not too far from a bière de garde or St-Feuillien triple.

Golden with large white head. Fresh, citrus, little spice, sweet, pleasent mouthfeel, good balance. Very good blonde.

(This is more than probably brewed at Du Bocq) Hazy amber, ochre shine; thick, bubbly whitish head, very persistent. Dry, candi-sugar nose. Herbal & spicey - maybe sage. Sweet, spicey taste with spicey-bitterish overtones. Some root-spice. Bitterness more obvious in the finish. Warming up, the character swings to coriander. There is a very spritzy-mineral water feeling, at the same time a creamy texture - weird combination. Alcohol obvious. Difficult. I cannot proclaim being enamoured by the taste, but the balance of this beer is more than impressive. That counts too.

I had this beer at the village of Chimey, at Au Vieux Chimey. The aromas were of hops, floral and yeasty notes. The head was dense and the beer was the color of polished bronze. The flavor was dry with a medium bitterness and flavors of vanilla, bread and a slight nutty maltiness. Overall this is a satifying beer, full flavored with enough hop bitterness to be a thirst quencher.

Strong smell; hops and yeast. Sweet. Okay. Orange coloured; cloudy. Lasting white head. Taste is artificial sweet, hopbitter, malts and fruits. Sticky palate.

Very disappointing. Aroma is hoppy, bit sour yeast. Taste is yeasty and dry hopbitterness, cardboard, and indeed something like licorice! Slightly alcoholic and metallic palate.

This beer is a blond with a fenomenal head, wich was about the first thing I mentioned when drinking this blonde. The aroma is interesting, and quite complex, luckily it made my high expectations come out when i drankit. It has a lovely fruity taste and some bitterness. A well balanced beer you should try when you can get your hands on it.

Creamy hoppy aroma. Big creamy head. Honey color, cloudy. Sweetish with a fair deal of hopbitterness. A bit yeasty, grapefruit and honey. Some alcohol. Lovely beer, well balanced. I've tasted beers like this before, but this one certainly has quality and accessibility.
