St. Paul Blond

Formerly brewed at Brouwerij Sterkens
Style: Belgian Ale
Meer, Belgium

An unclear light yellow beer with a fine head. The aroma is like "blondes" often are; filled with corriander and cloves. The flavor is very wheaty - and rather sweet. I wonder how much wheat (malted or unmalted) that has found its way into this beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very pale golden with a small but rather stable, white head. Very light-bodied, but a lovely blond ale perfect for mass consumption. A touch of some citrus, but in the palate there’s absolutely nothing. Nice but perhaps a bit anonymous. 030498

Bottled. Muddy mustard yellow. Strong herbal aroma. Sweet and soapy with rounded mouthfel and notes of curacao. Witbier-like.

Aroma is moderate malty, sweet, moderate hoppy, lime - mandarin, moderate yeasty, citrus mousse ? Flavor is moderate to light sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (120708)

Bottle. Very cloudy yellow colour. Spicy aroma. Peppery in a spicy way, not alcoholic. Stable white head. Spicy aftertaste.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with foamy white head. Very yeasty and malty aroma. Yeasty, bitter flavour. Nothing special at all. I had waited more from a Belgian blond...

Bottle. Cloudy yellow coloured with a huge white head. Fruity aroma with notes of wood and spices. Sweet fruity flavour with notes of spices. Bland.

Cloudy pale yellow, generous head, persistent. Nice aroma, similar to a witbier, spicy, lemony. Pretty simple taste, too much watery, but with some hint of malt, sweetness. Very simple palate. Forgettable.
