Commercial Description:
Available with two labels - Blonde in Wallonia and Fakir in Flanders and Canada. Though it is also relabelled as La Molagnarde Blonde. This is a particularly good blonde beer with lots of strong, clean citric hop character throughout. The orange peel that is included amongst the ingredients tends to only come through in the nose. We find this beer is great when served straight from the fridge as a little of the freshness is lost as it warms up.

11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a slightl hazy golden yellow with a very large white head and a good amount of lacing. Aromas of honey, pear, and clove. Spicy and floral hop flavors are balanced by bready maltiness. A very pleasent and refreshing brew.

Aroma is peachy, fruity going down both dark and citruis lines, grassy hops balance a slight sweet pale malt character. Taste throws grass, followed by bittering hops before lightly spicey malts and more peachy goodness comes through with a good long finish. Very suprised here, an excellent alround beer.

0.33l bottle at home. Hazy yellow with low white head. Aroma is orange and spice. Taste is spicy and some malty sweetness. Spicy aftertaste. It is smooth enough to be very pleasant beer.

Bottle, 33 cl. Cloudy yellow color, with a white head. Spicy, yeasty, and candied citrus fruitiness, and a anijs (?) note, in the aroma on a medium-bodied palate. Taste: a yeasty, fruitiness, and lemons, hint of floral hops, and hop bitterness.

From the small bottle pours golden, very clear with a tall white head, very foamy on the pour. Lots of orange peel and corriander aroma and taste. Has a nice dryness in the finish with a citrus hop, medium bitter end to it.

Bottled. A crystal clear golden coloured beer with a nice but thin white head. The aroma is yeasty with lemony, peppery hops. The taste is more of the same, but those peppery qualities really shine through to make this a light, yet tasty and highly drinkable beer.

Draft at Zeno’s in State College. Slightly cloudy amber orange colored body. Nose is sweet candy sugar, cloves, nuts, bubble gum, anise and coriander. Flavor sis very sweet at first, with some cloying Belgian candy sugar, ginger, honey and spiced cracker flavors. Some thyme and basil as well, with a heavy dose of coriander. Sweetness is far too high. Texture is silky, though, so it scores points in that respect, but there’s too much left unfermented.
