Commercial Description:
New batch brewed at Struise, available from July 2008.

Dangerous Blonde is a funky triple style beer with a strong edge brewed first in December 2004 and released for New Years Eve 2005. It was once brewed at the Caulier facilities exclusively for Ølbutikken in Copenhagen, Denmark. Only 140 bottles of this exclusive batch were released at that time in numbered and sealed magnum bottles. We thought it was time for a Struise Deca revival! Deep golden orangey to amber body and a white creamy head. Has a nose with a complexity of different aromas. The taste is a little bitter, sweet and fruity acidity with little to medium carbonation. The finish is almost endless with again a bitter, sweet and dry aftertaste.

Golden colour, thick white bubbly head. Lemongrass and yeast in aroma. Great acidity. Fruity, refreshing and spicy.

(1500 ml bottle, sampled courtesy of rickgordon) Shady straw yellow color, white head. Acidic and alcohol scent, some fruity and Belgian ale smell as well. Alcohol taste, very warming. Not much else than the warming sweet alcohol flavor and feeling. All in all, just too much alcohol.

Bottled. Hazy pale yellow colour with small white foamy head. Aroma of citrus fruit and malts with some floral hints. Flavour is grassy, fruity and a bit yeasty. Alcohol is present as a warming element.

Not really my style, but buttery floural notes on the nose. Taste is a bit grainy with the alcohol well hidden. I drank quite a bit of this from the magnium so couldnt have been too bad.

Yellow, white head. Sourish, hoppy aroma with fruity notes. Sweetish flavor with a bit too much alcohol sjowing.

Big bottle@RBESG’06. Pale yellow, small white head. Light sour aroma, a bit like in sour lambics, but toned down. Carbonated, sweet, alcoholic. Nice brandy-liquerish like aftertaste. Good dessert beer - name is misleading.
