Difficile de se passionner pour cette Bink Blond, qui sans être désagréable est un peu pompeuse et terriblement commune. En verre, nous sommes sur un blond doré limpide plutôt sympathique. Une mousse blanche de 1,5 cm surmonte la bière. Le nez est simple sur le miel, les céréales et de la pomme. Dès l'attaque, de la coriandre agrémente l'ensemble. C'est simple, pas de variation, mais corpulence et longueur sont très honnêtes. Petite mention à l'alcool, qui avec ses 5,5 % s'en tire très bien. La texture est également appréciable. Un peu douce tout de même. Pas fracassant.
Hazy golden with a white head that dilapidates quickly. Classic Blond. Rather mild in taste, thus easy to drink. Good balance. Some distant fruity flavours. Drinkable.
Draft at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours fairly transparent, classic gold with moderate white foam. Aroma is very sweet, mostly of honey. Body is average with moderate carbonation. Taste is less sweet than aroma, though still medium. Finish is average.
Bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head. Average retention. Aroma: Belgian yeast, banana, dried apples and pears. Medium body. The taste is moderately sweet, malty and rather bitter for the style. Spicy, grassy. An interesting one.
Fles 33cl thuis. Bloemig. Wat drogig, bitter. Goed. (3-2013).--------------.
Poors light amber, slightly oily with small head. Aroma sweetish malts, somewhat spicy, classical but nice. Taste typical sweetish, somewhat fruity malts, some fine, bitter hops taking over without really dominating the taste, some complexity remains, pleasant lingering bitter aftertaste. More than decent, refreshing and tasty blonde.
Krachtig bier met een sterke hopsmaak. Bitter wint het net van zoet. Troebel bier met kleine schuimkraag. Gekocht in Baarle Hertog.
Bottle massive thanks to sjogro! Almost clear golden with short lasting white head. Sweet malts, quite flowery, there’s also quite some herbs, grass, bitter hay, soft orange, honey, light cardboard, soft yeast, burnt sugar. Medium sweet and over medium bitter. Medium bodied. Not too bad, quite bitter and less yeasty than I expected. Would be nice to have this at a concert or something.
Bottle at home, thanks to work. Clear golden with white head. Malt, grain, cloves, orangepeel, lemon rind, caramel fudge. Moderate sweet and quite a strong vegetal, earthy hop bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation.
Bottle from Brewers Haven. This one's been on my list for a while. Pretty dark for a "blonde". Orange amber with high fluffy head. Aroma is caramel malts and a tough of Belgian yeast. Yeast becomes more prominent in the taste, and then some sweetness from the malts, caramel. Finishes a bit weak, but enough other good characteristics carry it through.
Gekocht in de Prik en Tik te Arendonk op 27/03/2015. Bink blond is een goudkleurig biertje dat wazig wordt als je de gist onderaan ook in je glas giet (zoals ik). Het schuim is wat gebroken wit-achtig en komt in een normale hoeveelheid, het zijn wel grove bellen die snel neerslaan. Normaal wandklevend. Weinig CO2 verzadiging met fijne belletjes. In het aroma heeft Bink blond een zeer sterke fruitige geur, iets van exotisch fruit zoals abrikoos, perzik en passievrucht. Het aroma heeft ook iets stroperigs in de neus. De smaak is zeer bitter en je lijkt er ook alcohol in te ontdekken (van het zeer fruitige aroma waarschijnlijk) . In de mond geeft Bink blond een medium volmondigheid, is hij bitterdroog, normaal wat koolzuurgas betreft maar ik vind hem toch onevenwichtig, eerst sterk exotisch fruit en dan ineens het bittere in de smaak. De nasmaak vloeit lang uit en is ook tamelijk bitter. Het bittere overheerst in de smaak, als dit geen probleem is dan is Bink blond een prima doordrinker.
Aroma is slightly yeasty alcoholic with some fruity esters. Taste is full bodied sugary doughy toast. Spices in the finish. A bit alcoholic. Apart from that nice
On tap Brasserie 4:20 (Rome). Oro luccicante, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianca media e persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, esteri (frutta gialla), erba tagliata, frutta matura. In bocca è dolce all'attacco con finale amaro a bilanciare, discretamente secca. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Buona.
33 cl. bottle. An amber coloured beer with a white head. Aroma and flavour of yeast, spice, fruit, alcohol, riped fruit and with a bitter finish.

clear peach amber, white head
light hops, honey, candy, belgian yeasts
bitter, light honey, belgian yeasts, plum, ripe peach
Clear golden color with fluffy off-white head. Aroma is a combination of bready malt, candi sugar and some yeast esters. Taste follows with a light sugary sweetness, grainy/bready malts and some earthy yeast notes with a good amount of bitterness. Light body, really dry, well carbonated but feels somehow smooth on the palate at first. Overall this is a really decent and easy drinking beer.
Quite clear, deep orange, shiny, with a small foamy off-white cap. Aroma has sweet fruity malts, some faint phenols, mild crushed peppercorn, sharp floral notes, thickened honey. Sweet taste with some raw grain and some strong grassy notes, with a sprinkle of earthy, peppery spices. Slightly saison-ish, in a way. Some Belgian sugars in the finish, more than mild bitterness. Aftertaste is spicy and bitter-sweet, but in a "raw", simple way: sugars and earthy hop. Medium to light body, as is the carbonation. A nice Belgian pale with a bit of funk to it.
Bottle. Pale gold. Hoppy (spicy, peppery, resiny hops). Fruity (oranges, apples). Yeasty (lots of floaties). Malty base (light caramel). Nice hop bitterness. Refreshing drying finish. Likeable hoppy pale ale. (2008)

2ème bouche très faible, vague.
Arrière-bouche sans définition, quelques fruits blanches.
3ème à la texture jolie, mais l’ensemble est peu harmonieux.
Arrière-bouche sans ligne directrice.
Longueur un peu plus intégrée, mais l’ensemble est faible, malt pils.
Jambes fines, longues.
Levure faible.
Alcool inopérant sur l’ensemble.
Finale linéaire.
CONCLUSION : le genre de blonde qui n’a pas grand-chose à dire .. bink !
Bouteille 33. Belle blonde quasi limpide à mousse blanche persistant jusqu’à la fin de le dégustation. Nez plutôt discret sur l’orange et le floral. Bouche astringente, maltée, amère (mais un "amer dur") avec des notes épicées diverses. Bof
On cask at Holy Grale. Pours a hazy gold with large frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is belgian yeast, grass, floral. Medium body, grass, honey, yeast, light dry finish, good.
Clear gold with a fizzing head. More substance than the typical lager, more towards saison. Crisp bitterness, some white sugar, a hint of lemon in the finish, earth. Medium finish, bitter sweet. Refreshing
Flaska t’brugs beertje, brygge. Orangegul kulör. Stallig doft med äpplemos och örter.
En ganska jordig smak med koriander, jäst och hö.
@ Hotel Mirabeau, Brussels 20160507. Bottle from local beer shop. Fruity and hoppy, spicy and yeasty, sweet, medium body with an oily texture. The finish is dry and fruity. Fresh.
Bottle from local store in brussels. Pours a hazy golden colour beer with a small head. Yeasty with spices and herbs some hops. Dry finish
Thought this was my favourite blond when I tried in a few years ago; now I know it is. Coriander-y? Nice yeast, and lemon-y, nose. Orange rind in the mouth. Not the longest finish but really nice depth to it.
Bottle at home. Aroma is pale malt, fruity notes, a bit floral, some spicy yeasty notes, a bit grassy hoppy. Flavour is above moderate bitter, a pleasant surprise. Body is medium. A refreshing and a bit hoppy Belgian Ale.
Clear blonde beer with a big white foam head. Nose is grassy, straw, bubblegum, green hops, menthol, light grains. Taste is bubblegum, light grains, menthol, grassy, straw, floral.
Orange gold, bit murky, frothy head. A: sour, sour cabbage note, fresh malts, lemon, wood note, white grape nite, yeast. Not bad. T: follows aroma, decent mouthfeel, smooth. Malts, lemon in finish. Lacks some depth because of low abv, but I'll have this over a lager any day.
bottle @ Bruciabarrique. ambrata. opalescente con riflessi aranciati, schiuma bianco sporca fine e abbastanza persistente. aroma intenso, erbaceo, luppolato, di miele, floreale, maltato, camomilla, zucchero candito . Gusto abboccato all’ingresso, maltato e mellifluo, poi il finale è amaro, secco e persistenze, come di mallo di noce/erbaceo. poco corposa, non molto calda, abbastanza rotonda nonostante l’amaro intenso, grande equilibrio, armonica
