Jul 30, 2006 Tried this several times over the course of a week in Belgium. Unfortunately, the only thing my notes say are "mediocre blonde". Perhaps a little to sweet, but hey, there are so many beers out there that are worse than this.

Jul 29, 2006 Perfect rating environment last Friday eve. Nice and quiet, and with the July edition of "Beer" and "What’s Brewing" I decided to give some of the beers in the Grimbergen portfolio a try. Apart from the Blonde, the Triple and the Dubbel were available. All from Vinmonopolet in Norway.
330ml bottle. Wheat and coriander aroma. Pale golden. Frothy white head - most of it disappearing. Medium mouthfeel. Sweet banana flavour with a yeasty touch. Sweet fruity finish - yes, in fact too much sweetness (28.07.2006).

Jul 25, 2006 Moderate malty artoma with caramel notes; moderate hops aroma; additional notes of grape and honey.
Dark golden colour with an average, creamy white head, mostly lasting and with good lacing.
Flavour is heavy sweet and slightly bitter at the beginning, then the sweet character diminishes leaving more space to a moderate bitter and a light acidic taste in the finish and in the more-than-average lasting aftertaste.
Body is medium with oily texture; lively carbonation; light astringent feeling in the finish.
Pleasant and satisfactory beer. Aroma and flavour are fruity and complex; well balanced.

Jul 19, 2006 I very much enjoyed this blonde. Pleasantly balanced. Not the best, but I’d drink one of these anytime.
