Typical appearance. Nice, easy drinking beer. Well balanced flavour but nothing special.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a murky golden/reddish colour with a small head and alot of carbonation. Smell is very sour and wheaty. Very clean though, also a bit of alcohol there. Taste is very nice, excellently balanced and can taste bitterness with some fruits gently mixed in there.

Orange-gold color, tall foamy white head, lots of yeast got in. Fragrant aroma of sweet lemon tea! Very lemony, with tea, honey, fruits. Very inviting. Sweet-and-sour flavor, much again like sweet lemon tea. Citrus, honey, sour and bitter balance the sweetness well. Very interesting and very nice. A touch too sweet maybe, and lacking the clear, crisp bitterness and complexity of the better Belgian blonde ales. Surprisingly good.

Bottle from Wine Specialist. Hazy gold color with a frothy white head. Smells like a light candi tripel with a lot of grassy hop and yeast. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is very light sweet candi, with some malt and spicy hop. Seems balanced between sweet and bitter. There’s a tangy flavor that extends into the finish. Really quite tasty in a simplistic way. Wish it could be delivered to my door each morning.

Bottle. Poured a light golden color with a medium white head. Smelled of yeast and slightly fruity. Sweet malt dominated with hints of banana and earthy notes. F=Refreshing blond ale.
