La Binchoise Blonde Tradition

Brewed by Brasserie La Binchoise
Style: Belgian Ale
Binche, Belgium

Very nice aroma. It has a full aroma, with spice, citrus, and some yeasty aromas, the doughy aroma. It’s appearance is a hazy deep yellow color. With a nice head and great lacing. It’s flavor is a full compliment of yeast qualities, with citrus (orange peel), coriander, and allspice. It’s rather easy to drink. Very good.

bottle. average white fizzy mostly dissapating head into hazy brownish-yellow body with some lacing present. aromas of moderate spice and a citrus fruit. flavor is initially a tangy moderate bitter into a light bittersweet. moderate finish duration. lively carbonation. watery texture. enjoyable, light, and refreshing belgina ale.

From bottle at Creperie Bretonne, Louvain-la-Neuve. Hazy, deep golden colour with a healthy off-white head. Complex spicy nose with coriander (of course) and cinnamon? Spicy rye bread flavours, hints of ginger. Well-balanced. Medium body, well-carbonated. A respectable blond.

Hazy and light golden in color with aromas of spicy sweet caramel. In the mouth it was medium-bodied, sweet, dry and simple. Balanced and nice but leaves me wanting for something...I’m not sure what but just a void of something.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink beer, cloudy, small head, nice brew

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy golden color ale with a huge pure white foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma consists of medium sweet typical Belgian malt (not that this is a bad thing) with some interesting floral notes. Taste is also dominated by some medium sweet malt with some notes floral and a lightly spice and great refreshing yeast strain. Body is quite full with some great carbonation and no discernable alcohol. Not extremely complex but really well done and refreshing for the style.
