Bottle from Winking Lizard. Was not given proper glassware. Not sure how that affected things. Poured a golden orange in color, large foamy head. Smelled of grapefruit and grass...Taste was fruity and very bubbly. Drinkable, just not a favorite of mine.

330ml bottle.
Pours a murky brown orange with a tall healthy cream head. Some amount of spotty lacing. Smells yeasty and fruity. Peach and apricot. Flavour is yeast and ripe fruits. Alcohol presence increases hand in hand with temperature. Quite carbonated and light feel. Easy to drink. A very nice bitter finish balances and rounds out this beer nicely. Thumbs up for this one.

Light yeasty aroma with some skunkiness. Pours a hazy gold with a big bubbly head and lots of visible carbonation. The flavor tasted like a mix of generic Belgian Ale and Heineken. Was very carbonated and easy to drink, but was too skunky and somewhat metallic to be very enjoyable.

Bottle poured into Tulip glass. Pours with a huge head. Cloudy & golden. Indeterminate fruity aroma. Flavor less pronounced at first: slightly grapey, moderately sweet, with a slightly dry & hoppy ending. Prickly carbonation, & rather thick in the mouth. Good drinking, but not magical.

Bottle & Tap. What’s to say about this beer? It’s a nice light, easy drinking Belgian ale. At about $7 a six pack, it’s a go to session beer that I often pick up. Not a mind blowing ale by any means, but it’s simple and tasty.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a light cloudy golden with a small white head and a yeasty, spicey smell. Taste is spicey, with some hoppy bitterness, some salt and some sweet malts. The best blonde I ever had

330ml bottle (Poirotti, Helsinki) Orange, small head. Heavy dense savoury aroma at first (though after sitting a while), but also some light notes too. Taste is both very light and also pleasantly hoppy. Grapey aroma, white grapes, in the taste too. When warmed and CO2 shaken out with a bit of swirling, the mouthfeel is smooth and tempting - a perfect example of Belgian excellence.
