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 tap at Oud Arsenaal, Antwerp. Pours almost yellow color with a large fluffy snow white head. Lots of yeast sediment. Lacing is excellent. Aroma is yeast with a trifle of spice. Flavor is bready malt with a nice sweetness. Yeasty notes also evident. Notes of banana. The body is medium with a semi-dry finish. good refreshing beer.
