Brewed by Brasserie La Binchoise
Style: Belgian Strong Ale

Bottle @ YNWA, as Gribousine Mallone Blonde. Pours a deep light orange with a small staying film head with plenty of lacing. Aroma is powerful, spicy and with herbs as well. Coriander, vanilla and a youghurt feel. Very nice, full mouthfeel. Flavour is not sour as I expected, more like sweet and spicy. It does finish on a light sour note though. Good beer!

Golden blond coloured beer with a lot of carbonation and a small white head. Malty sweet herby aroma. Full palate. Finish is bitter with a small alcoholic touch. Nice

Bottle @ Chris_o shindig 2007. Clear light yellow color with a average, fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average to long long duration. (fruit bitter). Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Yellow with a lasting white head. Weak aroma, mostly fruity. Sweet with a fruity flavour, quite quenching.

Bottled. Yellow, hazy, colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, malty and slightly hoppy. Flavour is toffee, fruits, some slight alcohol and spicyness. A pleasant and very wellbalanced brew.

Bottle, 33 cl. (Bought by Willems) Hazy golden ale with a thick creamy white head. Aroma, malts; with light spice. Medium body. Taste malt, a bit anice, creamy mouthfeel, with nice hops. Good brew.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s Shindig. Gold colour with a slight haze. Thin white head. Farty and sulphuric nose. Dull blonde in the mouth. Yeast, salt and pepper and rather boring.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Haze pale gold, lasting white head. Strong Belgian yeast aroma. It’s pretty standard in the strong Belgian ale style, which I like, but it’s not terrific.
