Commercial Description:
(Translation from French):
This Blonde beer is the first product of Christophe Noyon, slightly bitter and delicately fruity, it has 6%, and obviously copies abbey beers. Brewed by infusion, its ancient-style manufacture respects the work of time. The malted barley and the hops release the best from themselves. The wort thus obtained, in contact with the yeast, by a subtle alchemy, is transformed into beer... The fine layer of yeast which settles in the bottom of the bottle is a sign of quality.

Bottle, 75 cl with Leen and Paul @ Wimereux, yesterday. almost clear golden color, with a white head. Aroma bit yeast, spice and malts. Medium body. Taste very sweet (lik a Leffe), malts, bit yeast. Noire de slack is better.

75 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy orange with a collapsing off-white head. Light wheaty and spiced aroma with a whiff of orange peel. Yeasty and wheaty aroma. Mild spiced flavours appearing, build upon a nice medium sweet caramel malt base that gradually takes over. Mild yeasty finish. Light yeasty/wheaty brew - yet smooth and nice.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is zesty, yeasty, wooden and mildly yeasty. Flavour is fruity, yeasty, wooden and also quite herbal. Wellbalanced brew, also quite refreshing.

<i>Bottled</i> (BBE 2008)<br /> Hazy orange-yellow color, decent cloudy white head, some lace. Citrus, grass, paper and sweet fruits in the nose. Fruity, refreshing blonde. Apricot, fruit sugar. Good malty backbone. Suprisingly tasty French brew, very Belgian.

Huge, very dense & fine just yellowish head, persistent and leaving fine lace over golden beer with orange highlights. Fruity, hot malts, gassy, garden weeds & herbs. Toasted malts, bit of caramel, tad sweet with a fine bitterish finish, and a COČ enhanced sourishness. Flowery, more garden herbs. Delicate but sure balance. Titillating, not fizzy; light to medium body. Excellent, light drinking ale - pity about the too discreet nose. Worth looking for!
