Struise Kloeke Blonde

Brewed by De Struise Brouwers
Style: Belgian Ale
Oostvleteren, Belgium

Cloudy golden colored brew. Fruity, spicy aroma. Flavor is not that fruity, balanced taste of fruits, yeast and some spices. Nice one.

33cl bottle at home: Very brightly polished gold. Brilliantly clear with a medium, somewhat fading, white head. Light malt nose (pils) with touches of hay or grass and spices. Light, herbal and citrussy hop notes. Lemon cookie. A very faint bubblegum can be brought up from the glass with a swift twist of the wrist. CO2 seems more present on the tongue than expected by the appearance. Herbal hop character on top of light grain. Lemon peel runs along side meeting with the hops once they reach the back of the throat. A touch of warming drives the beer down your throat. Slight peppery mixed with yeast and hops on the dry finish... but there is still a lingering sweetness. Quite a well made, simple and balanced beer. Good beer for poker night.

Hazy deep yellow look with offwhite poppy head. Notes of grapefruitpeel, dryness, hops and some sticky mouthfeel.

Bottle from Beerbiker! Hazy golden with a fast disappearing white head. Aroma is spicey and very herbal leading to a grassy and herbal bitter flavor with a somewhat yeasty finish.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Fine blond ale from this brewery with some an good fruity and spicy taste.

Bottl frommy buddy in Belgium, poured hazy pale yellow with full white head. The nose was clove and other spices. The flavor was quite the same, but all very subtle. A very tannic, dry finish.
