Het Kapittel Watou Blond

Brewed by Van Eecke
Style: Belgian Ale
Poperinge-Watou, Belgium

7th September 2007. On tap at Chappel Beer festival. My notes say this was just 6.2% abv. Blonde coloured beer. Strong and fruity. It reminds me a of Leffe Blond but this is not quite as rich.

Golden blond beer with nice white head. Fine malt in the nose, also fruits and some hops. Taste is smooth, slight fruity and it ends with some hops.

Yeast and orange-tinged fruit, but the aroma is better than the palate for me. Sweetness in the front and bitterness in the finish.

gold blond coloured sparkling body with a white head a hoppy fruity grainy aroma a hoppy fruity sweet grainy taste with a little alcholic bitter finish

Drank it at the brewery itself. Nice light colour with a soft foam head. Herbs were added for this beer, also a hint of sugar can be smelled and tasted. Which is not great for a blond this style.

11.2 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy peach color with a medium head. Decent head retention and good lacing. Aroma of toasted bread, spice, peach and citrus. Taste is caramel, bread, stone fruits, faint hoppiness, spice. Medium bodied.

330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Slightly hazy oranve, persistent small head. Lovely fruity peachy aroma, some light grains too. Soft palate, a touch sweet and sticky. Body sweet light grains and fleshy nectary fruits. Hops gentle. Very drinkable. Softer and with a bit of ginger with more yeast. Not enough bite and a bit sweet for a blonde, but goes down easily.

Hazy goldblond coloured beer with small white head. A yeasty bit hoppy aroma flavoured with some chocolate notes. Full bit creamy palate and bit sparkling. Finish is bitter soft and yeasty.
