Bottle 0,33l. Golden colored. A large fluffy head. Aroma of hay and malt. Rounded, sweet fruity flavor with a bitter aftertaste. Unclear last pour.

One of the least distinguishing Belgian ales I’ve ever experienced. Enjoyed from the Identified brewers own labeled trappist glass, this pours a hazy golden yellow with little head. Much more sour than I care to have on my palate. Aroma isn’t inviting. Definately something different going on here.

Slightly cloudy gold with some tiny visible particulates and a half-inch thick white head. Tangy, citrusy fruit flavor with banana sweetness up front and a bit of citric bite behind it. Very noticable alcohol presence, a bit weird for 6%. Thick on the palate with some very nice lacing. Very good.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Another typical Belgian blond but this one is one the better ones, sweet starting and also citric taste and some bananas.

Pours golden w/ a tall, semi cremy froth. Superb hangtine reducing slowly to a full canopy and a fluffy, sticky ring. Mild aromas of crisp lemony citrus. Medium nectar w/ ample carbonation and very expansive on the palate. Bright and crisp, this brew is very refreshing. Well balanced w/ mild flavors of banana, citrus, and a touch of cola. The finish is bittered nicely w/ a twig of acidity to cleans the palate.

Run of the mill Belgian style blond, with all the expected characteristics (yeasty, citrusy, quaffable) of the style, but not particularly noteworthy in any way. A good basic stock blond for every day drinking when you don’t need to impress anyone. If you’re in North America, one of the better domestic blondes may be just as serviceable, and cheaper.

330 ml bottle. Golden clear colour. Very tall white head that clings to the glass. Some floates. Extremely high carbonation level. Crisp yeasty hop aroma. Belgian character. Hints of citrus. Rounded estery flavour with rich malts. Oily texture and not as dry as one would expect. Nice blond, though not complex, but still quite something of its own.

Aguada, metalizada, leve aroma e sabor de malte e cravo. Carbonatação média e final fraco.
