Val-Dieu Blonde

Brewed by Brasserie de l’Abbaye du Val-Dieu
Style: Belgian Ale
Aubel, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Pours very pale and gin-clear with a foamy white head. Nose is spice, belgian yeast, light hops, and a touch of skunk. Flavor is weak and is mostly a generic malt with just hints of bitterness and spiciness. Boring to the core.

Colore dorato classico con schiuman bianca. aroma debole maltoso, in bocca fila via senza particolari sorprese...

33cl bottle from Vinoble-favrskov hazy yellow with lots of debris, smooth white head. cellary belgian yeast aroma, faint citrussy fruits, fruit peel, note of sweet yellow fruit (pineapple or peaches perhaps). Nice aroma. flavor is yellow fruity, bitter, mild. alc. can be tasted. a bit weak in the flavor, leaves spices and alc. too much in the foreground.

Poured from 330ml bottle a hazy golden ale with a small white head that leaves lacing around the glass once it dissapears. Aroma is of malt, banana, coconut and candi sugar. Flavor is very refreshing and citrus. Very light and easy to drink beer.

Ale pulita, abbastanza fresca, bellissima a vedersi, stonata però nel naso.

Clear blonde pour fizzy white head ... aroma of fruity belgian yeast little lemony and pepper .... taste is lively with lemon and fruity yeast light dry finish little peppery spice .... a sessionable belgian not bad at all

Bottled 0,33L. Nice fraught and solid yellow golden color, very bubbly and elegant. Good head, lively, good resistance. Fresh and aged scent of malty, stum, cellar and white aged grapes. Crisp and lively taste, good alcoholic content with nice little bitter final.

21-nov-2010 33cl bottle at home. Pours slightly hazy yellow with average lasting head. Aroma is fresh, malty with a bit of fruit. Taste is slightly sour with minor sweetness. Fresh beer, but not very tasteful.
