Affligem Blonde

This beer has a color that is somewhere between orange and amber and when poured in a tulip glass a huge off-white head. The aroma is yeasty, fruity, and spicy - I pick up peaches, oranges, and coriander. The flavor is sweet with notes of the alcohol, that makes its presence known by giving off heat, but also notes of almost overripe fruits, like peaches and apples, that have just turned a bit more sweet and mellow, than when perfectly ripe. In the end coriander gives it a dry end. The mouthfeel is quite carbonated.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Golden coloured with very little head. Vague aroma of honey melon. Sweet and balsamic with big toffee flavour. The mouthfeel is quite sharp, and the finish is clean and full of honey.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale amber with a lovely, fluffy head - only a slight haze. Very pronounced maltiness, some fruits in there too - from the top-yeast. Very bitter finish makes this one well-balanced and refreshing indeed. 291297

Peachy-orange colour, rocky head and slow, mellow carbonation makes for an impressive lead-in. The aroma shows at first white pepper, then moves on to mango, banana and sweet malt. It’s a little bit firm with white peppery alcohol notes, but this is just a foil against a lot of sweet malts. Dusty yeast notes add accent, as do light apricotty esters.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a hue white head. Aroma is citric, yeasty and spiced, flavour is the same. Warming alcohol finish with spice notes. Very classic belgian blond.
