Commercial Description:
Gorgeous copper-orange ale. Rich, enticing aroma of oranges and lemongrass. Crisp and refreshing on the palate. A perfect blend of malt, spice and sweet & zesty hints of citrus. Nestled between beer-loving Germany and wine-loving France, for centuries Belgium has produced some of the most interesting, complex, sophisticated, and delicious styles the beer world has to offer. Brasserie Blonde pays homage to this grand tradition. We brew the Blonde with a unique blend of rich malts, sweet orange peel, spicy hops, and zesty coriander. The result is a medium-bodied ale bursting with flavor. This is truly a beer-lover’s champagne (or a champagne-lover’s beer!). It is a dry, slightly tart ale subtly spiced with orange peel and coriander for a zesty taste with hints of sweet and tangy citrus.

12oz - Citrus aroma with straw, bready malts and spicy yeast. Flavor is tangy citrus orange lemon with a spicy yeast finish. Palate is tart. A nice tangy summer brew.

12oz bottle via trade with styles! - Thanks! - Pours cloudy amber with a short white head that stays well and laces the sides of the glass. Aromas of lemon, yeast, and a bit of caramel. Flavor is pretty similar to the aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation and a good clean mouthfeel and a dry finish. This one was pretty tasty and a little more than I expected when I opened the bottle...

12 oz. bottle... Hazy amber ale with orange highlights. Lots of floaties hovering above the billions of sinkers lying 1/8" thick on the bottom of my glass. Flemish nose with notes of lemon, orange and honey. Mildly sweet, wonderfully tart flavor. Medium-bodied with an arid mouthfeel and feather-soft carbonation. Lengthy, moderately pungent, dry finish.
