Abbaye de St Landelin Blonde

Brewed by Les Brasseurs De Gayant
Style: Belgian Ale
Douai, France

An amber beer with a beutiful but disappearing head. I was very suprised when I poured this - it doesn't have the color of a blanche - rather an amber. The aroma is sweet and malty with very light flower notes. The flavor is sweet malty rich on fruit and with notes of peaches and a little perfumated. A very easily drinkable beer but not very complex.

(Bottle 75 cl) Fully golden, clear and filtered. Thin, creamy head that leaves some lacing. Very mild and easy to drink, but surprisingly little flavour. Decent body and alcohol, and an ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Just lacks some personality. 221103
