Nov 29, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a murky golden colour with a good head and great carbonation.
Smell is very hoppy and sour.
Also a bit of bitterness there with some fruits.
Taste is very bitter and fruity perfectly balanced. Fruits are oranges, pineapple and lemon.
Very well balanced and goes down almost without alcohol.
Great blond beer.

Nov 19, 2008 <b>In short: </b>An offensively bland and annoying Belgian Blonde Ale with more problems than qualities. Bad<br />
<b>How: </b>Bottle 750ml, consumed fresh one month after receiving through private importation straight from the brewery<br />
<b>The look: </b>Clear golden blonde with lots of medium size particles topped by a small white head<br />
<b>In long: </b>Nose has vegetables, even light pickles notes. Taste is wet bread, candy sugar (that really doesn’t sit well with the wet bread), Fluffy body that feels kind of empty. Hops presence is pretty much nil except for from flowers with petals, stems and everything. Honey, ripe white grapes, ripe pineapples, more vegetables. Very short finish. Despite me listing a bunch of flavours the beer is really not tasty and the little it taste is below bland, actually offensive. I couldn’t finish my 750ml. Oh man, what happened here? This is one of my favourite brewery. It’s hard to believe that this mess is a member of the Abbaye des Rocs family, it’s probably adopted, and I wouldn’t be surprised that its real parents are Inbev and Steelback.
