33cl from Carrefour in Belgium. Not much of an aroma, not much of a flavour, not a great colour or head, not a great beer. Average!

Assez fade, très légèrement houblonnée sur le retour, un rien maltée. Aucune longueur en bouche.

Een lekker zacht blond biertje, met weinig kenmerken smaken. De nasmaak is wat minder.

330 ml stubby bottle, poured into a tulip glass at home. ABV 6% Blond yellow to pale orange colour on the body, quite hazy, with some very light activity in the glass. Nice thick head, soapy and snow-white in colour, with good retention and beautiful heavy lacing left around the glass as the foam collapses. Aroma of wheat, yeast, a bit fruity. Nice smell. Taste also quite fruity with obvious wheat and yeast flavour. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Moderate sweetness up front, leaves just a tiny bit of bitterness. Medium thin body, average carbonation that bites a bit on the finish. Overall a very nice beer

Not bad. Real old. Cork barely fuckin came out so it's floating around. Some bullshit ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle bought in Boca Raton, FL. Total Wine. Poured into an American pint glass (my snifters were dirty and I’m too lazy to wash them right now LOL.) Pours a nice yellow-gold color with slight haze and a solid one finger white head. Head dissolves slowly. Mild lacing. The nose is fragrant with flowers, fruit and slight maltiness. It kind of smells like a white wine as well. The taste is crips and mild with notes of flowers, apples, pears and magnolia. It has a slight bitter, dry finish. I also liek the lingering spiciness. Good blonde.

A very poor blond. It smelled like wine?! I love the appearance. Beautiful color and head. The taste was poor and the palate very bad. Water with a little taste.

Presentation: Stubby 11.2 oz. brown bottle, served in an oversized wine glass. Appearance: Cloudy, pale gold color. Develops a two finger bright white head that goes down but remains all the way to the end. It leaves some great lacing. Smell: The scent is sweet, fruity, mainly banana. There’s some nice herbal and malt notes, as well as some yeast in the background. Taste: A fruit flavor is dominant. It has spice and herbal flavors that make for a very complex and appealing package. There’s alcohol and a tiny malt sweetness at the end, with some bitterness to balance everything out. Mouthfeel: It’s smooth, creamy and medium bodied. It has mildly high carbonation that’s not overwhelming but still present. Overall: Very drinkable and complex. It has a lot of flavors and scents, but also a simple sweetness, balanced perfectly by a hint of bitterness and an alcoholic character, that just make it a great beer.
