COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed at De Proefbrouwerij for Musketiers.

’Troubadour’ is a deep blond beer with 6,5 % alc. and a second fermentation on the bottle. This second fermentation is responsible for the higher alcohol percentage and the further evolution of the beer in the bottle. When poured out in a suitable glass, ’Troubadour’ has a thick white tenacious head. The first contact with the tongue results in a lovely sparkling feeling. The flavour is characterised by a mild bitterness and is somewhat spicy, followed by a pleasant sweet aftertaste and dry finish. The aroma is mainly characterised by the spicy hop flavours, accompanied by a light fruity flavour. Troubadour Blond is an authentic beer, consisting of the basic elements : pilsner malt, water, hop and yeast.

drjay44 (2132) - Salida, Colorado, USA - MAY 10, 2013
330 ml. bottle. Pours a thick, very well retained white head, with extensive lacing, over a slightly hazy, dark gold (SRM 6) body.....nose is light malts, hints of peach, citrus tones, apple......taste is light malts with hints of floral honey, hints of pear, apple, finishing with a moderate, dry bitterness.....mouth feel light of medium, minimally sticky, carbonation adds light acid. This meets the style quite well and in fact is a BJCP calibration example of it. BJCP 8/3/16/5/8

Vignale (1372) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 28, 2013
Bottle from beernavigator. Mörkt gyllenfärgad, lite disig högt kompakt skum som ligger kvar länge. Mycket vacker skumkrona. Stor frisk doft av belgisk jäst, färskt hö och blombukett. Frisk, jästig, blommig och lite parfymerad smak, höig humlesmak med viss beska. Rena tydliga smaker, perfekt balans. En närmast perfekt belgisk blond som dessutom var mycket vacker i glaset.

Noctilucus (97) - All over Belgium, BELGIUM - APR 8, 2013
Clear golden blonde with visible carbonation and plenty of lasting white foam A scent of rather fruity (i.e. orange) sweetness, grains, a touch of hops The taste is surprisingly strong and there’s also a decent alcoholic warmth. The hops come through quite strongly though the bitterness is balanced by the malts (almost cereal-like). Very close to a tripel with a hint of sweetness and some orange in the mix. In the aftertaste I get more vegetable bitterness. Definitely a solid brew but not that much to my personal taste.

Bottiglia sfortunata. Diacetile ovunque. Rating che dovrà essere aggiornato. Sono sfortune della vita. Decisamente da riprovare, perchè ricordo che la prima bottiglia non era affatto male. La seconda da dimenticare... Peccato... di nuovo.
