Bright and glowing golden hazy appearance with a beautiful full white head. Aroma is a straw and grain sour experience... flavor is a thick and zesty mixture of white grapes, pears, lemon, bread and some yeast. Quite thick in the mouth but still feels light. Bit of a rotten pear flavor loses some points.

Pours cloudy orange with a medium off-white head. Banana and orange aroma. Flavor is sharp and citrusy, with lemon, orange, and a touch of banana mingling with white grape and perhaps plum. This beer does have a yeasty cookie dough aspect. Although the palate is a bit acidic and sharp for my tastes, overall this is a good beer.

Pours with a fine hazy bronzy body and a soft downy head. The aroma brings forth notes of sweet honey, blossoming jasmine, and a fruity suggestion of plum. The flavor is all the same, but with more yeasty doughy notes, WAY more Plum… and lots of it… and ye-vast (in pirate talk) sweet honey and a little barnyard accompaniment. The palate is silky.. a very delicious Blond Ale!

Cloudy, dark orange in colour, nice head and beautiful lace. Yeasty and spicy. Full-bodied with a lot of carbonation, tart with some bitterness.

Hazy copper with a moderate amount of carbonation and bright head. The aroma is spicy with some orange and honey along with some pilsner notes and hoppy notes. The flavor is has some sour plums and some light hops. The finish is sharp and sour, not refreshing. Rotten fruit and oversweet malts mix with too much carbonation.

Orange amber pour with a light head and lacing. Malt and fruity hops in the aromas. Citrus mainly; lemons and oranges. Lightly spiced. Honey comes out big time. Followed again by lemon. Nice balance of the hops and malt. Tingly palate, medium bodied and a spicy finish with hints of alcohol.

Bright yellow gold, white foamy medium sized head. Lightly earthy and musty aroma, some honeyish fruity notes. Lightly sweet up front on the tongue, but the flavor is predominantly bitter and earthy. Finish is almost astringent. Drinkable, but not particularly enjoyable.

Cloudy yellow/orange appearance with a good head. Aroma is citrus fruit. Flavor is fairly sour and musky with a sour fruit flavor. Overall this was a decent belgian blonde.
