Oct 24, 2009 Tap. Tasty and easy-drinking. Aroma has fruits (apple), grain, and caramel. Flavour is long-lasting, it starts sweet, with bitterness at the end. Silky in the palate, medium body. Dark yellow and clean in the glass, with a thin and frothy head.

Oct 23, 2009 Enjoyed from an 11.2oz bottle in a hexagonal pub glass. The beer pours a medium golden color with a moderate white head. Carbonation is on target, for the style. The nose gives strong hints that the strain of yeast used was that made famous by Chimay. Strong notes of grain, along with slight pear, and earthy tones. The palate is almost an exact replica of Leffe Blonde, which, given the latter’s standing within the BJCP, is a plus. Pilsner sweetness up front, followed by a just barely balancing hop presence, and the same yeast-derived esters. Overall, not entirely life-changing, but well-crafted and certainly worth a higher rating than many of those viewed.

Oct 14, 2009 33cl bottle, as shown. Clear golden yellow colour, thick, bubbly white head with good lacing. Aroma of yeast, fruit and some herbs. Medium body and carbonation, smooth mouth feel. Taste of yeast, some citrus fruit and more spicy herbs, with medium bitter finish and slightly sour after taste. A refreshing, but not bland, blonde - for once,. the above-average alcohol is well integrated and the brew not too sweet. More sessionable than other Belgian ales. If only the bottles weren’t so tiny!

Oct 8, 2009 Pour is golden and clear with a quick settling golden head. True to style. Nose is yeast and toast; little fruit; and some pepper. Taste is slightly sweet. Grain comes though. Some mild hops and mild alcohol flavor. Mouth feel is moderate with moderate carbonation. A fine though not outstanding beer.

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours gold with a thin head. Nice fruity sweet aroma, spice, and just a touch of citrus. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a solid yeasty presence.
