341 ml bottle from Trappe a Fromage, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Cloudy deep golden with a fair, loose white froth. Aroma: Quite yeasty, kinda savoury, fruity, lots of coriander and spice, some floral honey. Palate: Medium body, moderate effervescence, smooth. Flav.: Doughy yeast, coriander, lightly fruity, slight wheat and hay; reasonably sweet with a little bitterness and a touch of alcohol.

I prefer the Brune, but this is acceptable.

Leave it to the Canadians to screw up a good brew. I’m kidding. It is a fairly standard Belgian blonde now with a lot of spice. Mint and lemon are most predominant. Not bad, it just isn’t amazing. I enjoy the regular La Chouffe better.

Pours gold into a tulip. Off-white head quickly crackles and dissipates to hug rim. Sweet caramel and sour yeast aromas. Thin and peppery from front to back. Slight mellow clove in the lasting alcohol finish.

Floral and citrus aroma with some spice. Flavor has some yeast and wheat with some spice. Nice and drinkable, balanced and not overly complex.

Pours a hazy and lively golden color with a quickly dissipating white head. It is an effervescent beer with an aroma of citrus, spices, and some yeasty/bready undertones. Has a smooth mouth feel which is offset but not overpowered by a mild attack of spice and alcohol. Finishes clean with pleasant herbal traces lingering on the palate. Easy to drink, and overall a pretty good beer.
