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.

Cloudy, dark gold with a thick white head. Aroma of spice, malt fruitiness. Pear, apricot, sugar, caramel. Sweet and spicy with a hint of nutmeg, perhaps. Different, but good.

NobleSquirrel (2579) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 8, 2012
Draft at Firkin. Pours a pale gold, faint haze. Fluffy white head. The nose is nice. Light funk, citrus peel and crackery malts. Soft esters from the yeast as well. on tasting, much sweeter than expected and missing those fruity notes. Balanced bitterness overall with a drying finish. Not bad, really.

joeyplush (542) - Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 1, 2011
Hazy gold color with a thinnish white head and a ton of soapy lacing. Aroma of bread and pretzel dough, and yeast. Flavor starts malty and finishes with spicy and lightly bitter pilsner hops. Palate is thick and sticky and the pilsner hops linger for a long time.
