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.

On draft at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured clear gold with white head that left terrific rings of lace. Lovely ester nose. Sweet and fruity flavor that is very drinkable.

Bottle. Aroma of yeast, lemon and spice. Poured a golden yellow with a huge white head. Flavor is lemony and slightly grassy with a peppery spice. Palate is lively and filling and quick drying with a peppery finish. Overall, well, I’m gonna stop typing and finish this and enjoy.

This guy pours out a nice wonderful clear golden yellow with a rediculously thick white head. Aroma is nice and inviting. Smells of Belgian yeast and spice, specifically of nutmeg and clove. The smell also seems to contain a dry tartness. Taste is very nice, slightly sweet and spicy but not overly so. Nice and yeasty as well but finishes dry and crisp. I like this stuff and it reminds me of Russian River Damnation. I’m bit surprised this is not rated higher.

Draft. Sweet malt, yeast and spices in the aroma. The flavor is similar, but a little fruity. Very easy drinking.

11.2 oz bottle. Hazy golden in color with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is toffee, and spices. Taste is alot of honey and toffee sweetness, without much of a hop presence. Seems a bit oxidized. this bottle seemed unbalanced and rather one dimensional.

Bottle @ cambrinus in Bruges. Caramel & toffe like flvors in this blonde. Slight bitterness to round out sweetness.
