Nov 21, 2009 ( 12oz bottle thanks to ericandersnavy) Pours pale yellow with very oily head. Nose is plastic and a touch of hops. Taste is creamy, sweet, spicy, and under-carbonated.

Nov 1, 2009 Updated: Nov 2, 2009Bottle. Pours simple golden with thin white head, some lacing. Aroma is mild herbs and some spice, nice strong doughy malt scent in the background. Flavor is dry, some mild bitterness. Light hoppiness lingers in the finish. Not a whole lot of malt texture/complexity, and the hop profile is dominated by slightly raw Sterling hop, instead of Saaz, which would have been preferable, but a pretty good beer nonetheless.

Oct 28, 2009 12 oz bottle from Sandy’s Liquors; called just Belgian Style Blonde on label. Nose of light floral hops, spicy cloves and nutmeg, and sweet caramel with a hint of banana I could pick up as I opened the cap but later seemed to disappear. Clear copper with a medium, glass-lacing off white head. Flavor is peppery, with some caramel and light bitterness.

Oct 21, 2009 ~Yeasty esters in aroma. I am also getting orange, honey, light spicy hops, and a light malt scent. Spicy honey scent dominates. Scent gets stronger as it warms.
~Pours a very clear light gold color with lots of carbonation bubbles. Large rocky and creamy white head that lasts and leaves lacing.
~Flavor of medium spicy hops with a sweet maltiness. Light alcohol. Flavor is spicer than the aroma. Spicy hops dominate. Balance seems a bit off.
~Light to medium bodied, high carbonation, light alcohol warmth, slightly creamy when chewed, spicy hop finish.
~Complex and enjoyable blond. Missing balance of malts.

Oct 9, 2009 I think "blonde" is exactly the right description of the color. Pours very clear blonde with an orangish tinge. I tried to pour a good head on it, but I didn’t get much. What little I did get dissipated quickly into a cute little fizz on top of the beer. Fruity nose. Orange and dried apricot. Very astringent and bitter, with not much flavor going on. Just some stale hops. Still, it’s not bad, and it goes well with dinner.
