May 21, 2006 Yeasty flowery scent. Chamomile? Light apricot color under halogen. Spicy belgian flavor, but light in character. Fine bubbles effervesce to provide a substantial mouthfeel. Light grapefruit towards the finish. Everything is light with this one. Imagine a Wit with malt, body and sugar. There is some, not a lot, of sweetness here. Just goes to show that any bottle conditioned Bridgeport is a treasure.

May 14, 2006 Aroma: Unmistakably belgian influence... yeast, soft floral notes and sweet malt lingering in background.
Appearance: Cloudy and Straw yellow with a huge white head which settles leaving nice lace on the glass (brewing lingerie)
Flavor: Sweet Malt (Some wheat like graininess) Firm spicy hop flavor combined with soft fruits finishing wonderfully dry... making room for the next relaxed sip.
Palate: Great level of carbonation. Nice play malt sweetness, spicy hop (Styrian Goldings???) with some yeast notes and finishing with a dry lingering finish
Overall: Nothing and everything..
Look at the bottle, take sip and then take a whiff... yup... not the Blonde Ale you thought. Everything a Belgian Session Beer like De Konink should be...
I only wish the finish was had a little more malt lingering... quibbles ...
Cheer to Bridgeport! A great beer to enjoy by the pool side on a slow Sunday.

May 13, 2006 Belgian Ale? I thought it was a Pale Lager or Blonde, as it tasted a bit like Bud. Sweet with a bit of corn. It did have some citrus fruits, like orange and lemon also. Held the head nicely enough, even though it was poured into a plastic cup while waiting in lin for the doors to open for DSO. Not horrible in the end though.

Apr 30, 2006 I was thoroughly expecting an insipid blonde ale so was quite surprised when I took my first sniff and thoroughly blown away after my first taste. The appearance is a boring enough blonde with an evanescent head, though their is a strong, but natural-looking upcurrent of bubbles. Aroma is clean with some wheatiness and a touch of hops and yeast. Complex yeast flavor that is full of msyerious spices and a touch of evergreen. This is a great Northest interpretation of a belgian ale. Well done!

Apr 21, 2006 The beer emerges from the 12-ounce brown bottle a slightly hazy gold with a presidential sized head, the texture creamy and the color a brilliant white as it slowly waste away, the resultant lace in sheer curtain to cover the glass. Nose has a tinge of old leather, musk, yeast, with a fruity backing, an interesting aroma at any rate, the start is lightly sweet with a surprising grain profile, the top middling in its feel. Finish has a purposeful acidity, the hops refined in their spiciness, desert bone dry aftertaste, and a quite nice beer, and well worth a sample.

Apr 19, 2006 Chromate yellow, chill haze; no head. Bit of glue, gassy nose and some pale malts. Slightly toasted notes in the taste above the pale malts, cereals and pineapple-ish retronasal - or is that the contrast with the other beers in this area? Slightly burning MF, but especially very fizzy, oversaturated feel. Strange - another one I don’t dig the intention of. IMO useless, but I seem to be in a minority (WBC medal winner...)
