omhper (10393), Stockholm, Sweden May 6, 2008 Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Lightly hazy pale amber, creamy head. Sweet malty nose. There’s dough and vanilla and a touch of orange. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Mild and warminr with notes of mustard. A gentle. well balanced beer.
JK54B (269), Finland Aug 18, 2008 A .33L bottle from Alko shop. A little bit hazy pale yellow colour. White head. Mild hoppiness and maltiness in the taste. Slightly sour and also little bit sweetness. Some hints of raisins in the nose. masto (65), Helsinki, Finland Aug 12, 2008 Pretty orange beer. Sour and honey-y. Tropical fruit bitterness that doesn’t work with the honey prevents this from being a real gem. Medium body and soft carbonation. Very drinkable. legion242 (1516), Richardson, Texas, USA Aug 1, 2008 One thing can be said for Petrus beers- they are almost always at least pretty to look at. This blonde lacked the spiciness that would like from the style, but was fine otherwise. SSSteve (1487), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jun 28, 2008 a clear blonde beer with an orange hue under a small frothy white head. musty, peach, caramel, slighty soured aroma. flavors is butter, toffee, light tropical fruits, slightly sour. light-medium bodied. wunderbier (1266), Tampere, Rovaniemi over summer, Finland Jun 12, 2008 Burnt orange underneath a firm white froth. Forceful perfume aromatics and the sharp and musky aroma of dried apricots sink through chunky, stewed malts. Piquant acidity --made more so by sharp carbonation-- yields to caramel and drupe sweetness before a short floral and medicinal finish. Appropriately velvety and attenuated with sparse flab.
Peculiarly dank with a few sharp corners; lacks the crispness many Belgian blond ales manage.
33cl bottle, best before 09 July 2009.
