Jul 20, 2007 Bottle-Memphis. TONS of carbonation! Big white head that stuck around for the duration. Flavor was sweet, bready, yeasty, and warming to the stomach. The bottle was noticably heavier than a typical non-twist bottle.

Jul 19, 2007 Flaske. Udemærket blonde, meget livlig og karbonerende. Kraftig smagende gær, men CO2 overtog det meste.

Jul 17, 2007 (Bought in Dunnes Stores) Pours a cloudyish straw colour with a small but stable head. It has a lightly fruity aroma and a smooth ever so subtle banana flavour with a short and enjoyable finish.

Jul 11, 2007 12 oz bottle into a goblet. Beautiful hazy gold beer with ample white Belgian lace. The aroma is very fruity (banana, apricot, pineapple). Taste is dominated by fruit and spices (clove, black pepper). Also a note of clover honey. Finishes dry and just slightly bitter. The best Belgian blond I’ve tasted.

Jul 9, 2007 Misty gold with a billowy white head and clinging lace. Invitingly peppery tropical fruit aroma with hints of banana, apple and alcohol. Mellow, fruity and Leffe-ishly spicy with a touch more bitterness in the finish, and a hint of hop presence about it. Superior spicy Blond.

Jul 4, 2007 Absolutely beautiful in the chalice, appearing as mostly translucent and caramel blonde in color, with whipped froth resting an inch thick on top. Aroma digs in with baguettes, sourdough, white cackled pepper, countertop coriander, fresh cotton and a hint of floral like lavender. Flavor builds it out more explicitly, realizing a floral hop bitterness to the stark, sharp, buttery sourdough crust. The cackled peppercorn plays out with untainted dryer sheets and a touch of morning glories. Pils malt base supports the fuller flavor throughout and goes to show just how long ago this style was introduced to take marketshare away from the German lager. Crisp baguette follow-through, allowing the full flavor to entwine the tongue with bakery implications amidst the ample bittering display.

Jul 4, 2007 Pours golden w/ a full lasting semi creamy froth. Nice lacing, full and sticky. Aromas of crisp malted banana meal. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Strongly flavored w/ creamy vanilla stuffed bananas and crisp wild apples. Mildly spiced w/ a perfect peachpit bittering that sets in midpalate and sticks through to the finish. The finish is long and lingering w/ a nice bittering component. The abundance of crispy effers keeps this one alive and on it’s toes. Well balanced. Highly recommended.
