ogivlado (2478), Zagreb, Croatia Jan 15, 2008 Bottled(250ml). -from Geant in Briancon as Abbaye de Dieleghem Blonde, 6.2%
<br />Pale golden coloured, huge white head, very fizzy. Malty, nice hoppy and slight fruity without any trace of alcohol. Refreshing and nice.
Borresteijn (673), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 7, 2008 Bottle. ABV 6,2%. Clear golden, white head. Aroma of sugar, fruits. Flavour is sweet, some sour apples, malts. Cheap imitation of a Leffe blonde, not too bad however. omhper (10950), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 19, 2008 <i>Bottled. (6.2%) </i> Clear golden,average head. Fruity glue aroma. Sweet and medium bodied, cardboardy and mushy, sloppy and lager-like. Well below average in almost every aspect. oh6gdx (6460), Vaasa, Finland Apr 2, 2008 bottled (thanks Bov!, 0.25l bottle, 6.2%, Abbaye De Dieleghem Blonde). golden colour with small white head, which disappears very fast. Aroma is yeast, rotten fruits, some spices and earth. Flavour is very sweet, earthy, slightly rubbery. A bunch of candisugar and some notes of alcohol. Rather un-balanced and even to the border of being offensive. Leaves a very oily mouthfeel. heavy (536), Split, Croatia Feb 27, 2008 0.25 l bottle, thanks Doggythedog for sharing it! Poured pale golden body with quite small white head. Fine, typical Belgian ale aroma, yeasty, with some fruits (banana, ananas) mixed with spices, but not really intensive, at contrary. Sourish flavor, quite nice and let’s say full, but still nothing special, what should be expected from this style. Also finish is very ordinary and left me pretty indifferent. Quite poorly made Belgian ale, although really fine beer. Doggythedog (1076), Split, Croatia Feb 24, 2008 Abbaye de Dieleghem Blonde, brewed in Belgium, bottled by Saverne for Casino...same beer?<br />0.25l bottle courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!), shared with heavy<br /> Poured a small thick white head that went away slowly, lively streams of carbonation pierced the slightly hazy golden body. Spicy and somewhat yeasty nose. Light taste, very light spiciness, bready. Light hoppy bitterness, and some lemon from the same source I guess. Notes of alcohol and malt (not the greatest around). Bready aftertaste. A standard, run of the mill Belgian, but still nice enough.
