| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 24, 2009 Bottle at the Old Fiddle in Poperinge. Blond in color with a white head. Aroma of yeast, pale malt, and fresh hops. Flavor is more of the same, with a nice citrusy hop finish. Palate standard for the style. Not super exciting, but still good, especially in the town where it was brewed. weaselkenievil (738), Cheshire, England

Unfortunately, unlike Darren it’s not shown vast improvement. Clear gold with a fluffy white head. Sweaty socks and herby aroma. Little cardboard and metallic fruity flavour. Yeasty and malty finish.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 1, 2009 Bottle at The Palace Hotel, Poperinge. Blond, thick rocky off white head. It’s an ok slightly wheaty blond beer. Slightly cereally aroma, some citrus hop on finish. Minimal yeast character. It’s a pretty standard Belgian blond, with more wheat beer character and less estery yeast/spice. OK, if a little unexciting. jerohen (1613), Bussum, Netherlands

Golden coloured, rapidly dying head. Malty nose, cardboard. Bland, somewhat bitter flavour, more bitter towards the end. Dry finish. Mediocre at best. sayravai (3731), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 13, 2009 (Bottled, 7.2% ABV) Sllightly hazy golden with a medium, bubbly and lacy head. Mild aroma of pale malt, some fruitiness, and light acidity. Hops come out in the dryish, fruity and mildly grassy-herby-bitter flavor - especially in the dry, slightly acidic finish. Not as plentiful and delicious as in the Hommelbier, though. Medium-bodied, slightly slicky palate with lowish carbonation. Easily drinkable and somewhat hoppy, but that’s about it. Anyway, if this manages to lure more women into less sweet and girly beers, it’s a good thing. Travlr (727), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 29, 2008 Brewed for the 2005 hops festival in Poperinge, they had so much left over that they bottled it. It’s very much like a less hoppy version of the Poperinge Hommelbier. Nice enough, easy to drink.
