Grimbergen Blonde

Brewed by Brasserie Union (Alken-Maes / Heineken)
Style: Belgian Ale
Jumet, Belgium

Bottled. Clear, golden beer with a lasting, medium head. Nice lacings. Candi-sugar, banana and hops in the aroma. Some dried fruits as well. Flavor has alcohol, candi-sugar, hops, banana and dried fruits. Some metal in the finish, along with sweetness and some bitterness. Nice, but not the most exciting blonde. (060324)

Poured a clear golden with a fizzy off-white head. Aroma of flowers, a bit of honey, some grassy hops. Flavor is lightly sweet with lots of floral essences, some grassy hops, a touch of dry alcohol. Clean and pleasant. Unequivocally not bad.

Poured from the bottle, a good looking clear straw amber colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is delightfully sweet - yeast and fruit (pineapple) - with some piney notes. Tangy and yeasty flavours give way to a carbonated mouth feel and a short creamy finish. Most enjoyable after a hard day skiing on the slopes at Morzine-Avoriaz!

Bottle 02/08/2004 Golden coloured with some alcohol present. Some sour fruit aroma. Slightly dry malt finish.

On the sweetish side, citrusy, honey dominate, abit watery, but still nice, alcohol is well hidden.

11.2 oz bottle pours a very pale yellow with very active carbonation and a thick white head. Smells very sweet and somewhat yeasty. The taste is extremely mellow with a strange copper tinge to it. A few into it the strange taste normalizes though, and a citrus fruity taste appears. Interesting ale to say the least.

clear orange body with a nice white head that left huge lacing.aroma was a mix of belgian yeast,honey,and fruits.loads of honey in the flavor,along with some fruits,earth,and carbonation.thin mouthfeel.

A lot of honey in the aroma, along with and a heavy dose of crystal malt. Very fruit and honey orientated taste, but slightly watery, but in a postive is layered out and much more complex and changing then expected.
