33cl bottle. Pours gold and clear with a big white head. Aroma is white plums, malt and hay. Flavor is sweet and flowery with yeast and a bit of alcohol. Medium body, medium carbonation. No bitterness, dry finish. Not straordinary, but a good beer.

Aroma is of corn and grains. Looks okay, nothing spectacular. Taste is a smooth affair with caramel, some hops and malts. Overall pretty good, not great.

(Bottle from Tesco’s, Diss, Norfolk) Dark golden with medium bubbles and medium head. Smell is yeasty, with belgian hops evident, a little fruity, a little flowery and some acidity. Flavour is dull, sweet with some flowers and fruit. VERY sweet with only a little bitterness to balance it. Quite carbonated and warming alcohol. Quite good, but too sweet for my tastes when looking for a Belgian blonde. Cloying.

Nutty-ness combines well with the yeast fruitiness. Dry with a semi sweet aftertaste. Good flavor but doesn’t expand. Not an amazing beer but good for what it is.

A clear golden colored beer, with a thick white head. The aroma of sweet malts with fruits. The taste of fresh malts, fruits like citrus, with sweets. A little bitterness in the back. The aftertaste is sweet with some bitter.
