Cazeau Tournay Blonde
"Balance! That’s what we were looking for and that’s what we’ve achieved with a round but light beer with a perfect degree of bitterness. Savour it as an aperitif with friends and tell them how it was born…
Following the relaunch of the brewery in 2003, we have visited many breweries and discussed things with many seasoned or debutant brewers. Memorable visits during which the tendencies for our first beer were chosen: we wanted to produce a blonde beer, with too not strong an alcohol percent, with personality but above all remaining well balanced.
To prevent it from being overly hopped, we had chosen four American hops, coherent between themselves, and subtly dosed. And to give our beer body, we opted for a malt charge of 100% barley malt, without any other cereal, nor any added sugar.
At the end of several months of research, we were finally ready to create a brew in our newly installed brewing room. It took place on 01 May 2004, and Tournay Blonde was born!"

Bouteille 33 cl - couleur blonde or, mousse blanche qui ne tient pas, goût sur le melon, la prune jaune, le houblon, vraiment bonne
A déguster à nouveau ! Première impression très positive, bière très équilibrée et agréable.
Klarowne, piana jasne. Przyjemne w smaku.
Clear, bright foam. Pleasant taste.
Sampled at Zythos 2016. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours clear, small white head. Smell is yeasty, bit bitter. taste is yeasty, bit bitter. Weak, but OK
Bel aspect: dorée très légèrement trouble, bullage moyen, col de mousse fin mais étonnamment persistant. Nez levuré et de céréale, très légèrement houblonné. Goût très équilibré entre une attaque douce très légèrement acide et une fin de bouche où s’installe une amertume raisonnable et rafraîchissante. Arômes essentiellement malté et levuré, légèrement herbacé. Bière ronde sans trop tirer sur le sucre et alcool très bien masqué. Une bière peu complexe mais répondant avec brio aux caractéristique du style blonde belge. Un exemple d’équilibre.
KØLF 111215. Golden colour with an off-white headAroma is fruit, herbs, malt, hop, yeast. Flavour is fruit, herbs, malt, hop, yeast, spices. Medium body. OK beer.
giallo dorato leggermente torbido con abbondante schiuma bianca dal gusto ben bilanciato di corpo medio e gusto tendente a una tripel
Aroma has something close to soap or something. Nothing bad, but something not beer-a-like.
Taste is a bit weak and surprisingly flat.
Light aroma with an unidentified glitch. Light and slightly bitter brew. Aftertaste is a bit soapy.
750 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a big, dense off-white head. Aroma has pale malt with light spicy yeast. Quite light but balanced in flavor, pale malt, yeast, fruit and spicy. Nothing too complex this but sure drinkable.
Bottle. Pours deep golden with a huge dense head. Aroma of malt, fruitiness, yeast and herbs.Flavor is sweet and fruity with some bitterness, floral notes, herbs, yeast and flour. Medium body, lively carbonation.
Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur dorée, très léger trouble, mousse moyenne de belle tenue. Un équilibre des goûts en effet, l’ attaque est un peu acide, voire piquante mais l’ amertume arrive en seconde bouche, c’ est une bière très évolutive avec une très belle longueur. Malheureusement, c’ est un peu décevant aromatiquement. Trouvée à la brasserie Delneste - Froidmont
Bottle 0.33l from Dranken Geers Gent Belgium.Taste with Fiena and Tom in Duinbergen on the beach in Belgium.02.08
2015.Pour it hazy golden color with medium white head.Aroma of typical Belgian yeast carachter. Taste of sweet, carbonated, some spices, but all together classic.
Bottle 33cl. Clear medium golden, a lot of bubbles, average unstable fluffy white head, mostly diminishing leaving good patchy lacing; strong fruity aroma, orange, pinapple, soapy, ginger, coriander, herbal hops; taste medium sweet and light bitter, citrusy, spicy (ginger, pepper, coriander); medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, sweetbitter aftertaste, herbal and spicy notes, bit dusty; fresh and well-balanced blond.
Bottle. Pours a hazy golden colour with a thick, fizzy white head.
Aroma of Belgian yeast, cereal, vanilla, some orange, slight peach and subtle floral hops. Taste is similar of cereal, grain, Belgian yeast, vanilla, barley, some orange, slight peach, herbs and floral hops. Medium bodied, a moderate carbonation and a smooth texture. A dry, funky, cereal malt finish. It’s ok. Quite malty with the unmistakeable Belgian, dry, yeasty flavour. Smooth and highly drinkable though.
Bottle at home. Nicely cloudy yellow colour, white foamy head that nicely laces the ale. Citrus hoppy, balanced bitterness, creamy malts; reminds me of Taras Boulba by De La Senne. Dry finish, refreshing. Medium body, lively carbonation.
14/VI/15 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 1/XII/16 (2015-781)
Clear orange beer, huge fizzy aery crackling white head, unstable, bit adhesive, falls down quickly. Aroma: pretty metallic, bit grassy, quite some CO2. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus, yeast, banana, some coriander, spicy, some alcohol. Aftertaste: sweet, metallic, bitter, lots of banana, coriander, yeasty touch, grassy and hoppy finish, with some citrus, alcohol noticeable.
An overall nice blonde beer with a good aroma of malts, hops and a nice bitterness. I personally only hate the coriander after-taste.
Bel aspect, la mousse est plutôt légère et un peu crémeuse. Cependant, elle tient bien au verre.
Belle couleur dorée, la bière est relativement claire, mais pas trop.
Au goût, bien que le houblon soit assez présent, j’ai ressenti un aspect résineux, et légèrement agrume (bien que l’amertume présente se confonde facilement dans ce cas présent).
Pas vraiment de nuance sucrée, bien amère dans l’ensemble, mais sans trop aller dans l’excès.
Au niveau du corps, nous avons une bonne prestance. Pas trop fort, ni trop faible et plutôt fin en bouche. La carbonatation est correcte, avec une bière moyennement pétillante.
De manière générale, on retiendra que c’est une bière avec une présence houblonnée, bien amère et résineuse au goût.
alla spina ZBF 15. Aroma erbaceo e di cereale ben bilanciato. al palato ancora ottimo bilanciamento tra un maltato di miele millefiori e una luppolatura fruttata ed erbacea
Sample at Örebro Öl & Whisky 2014. Light smell, earthy and fruity. Similar light taste with some flowers.
Bottle:
Cloudy, orange with a fairly tall off-white head.
Orange, peach, yeast scent.
Taste is sweet, malty, tangerine, yeast.
Very fruity and bright, with a slight funkiness....
Tasty.
Strongish blonde ale, tasted from a 75 cl bottle with cork. Thick, light yellowish head, pure orange blonde, near amber colour, clear but hazy with deposit. Vividly fruity aroma strongly reminiscent of fresh orange, pineapple, flowers, ginger, pepper, apple peel, marmelade, mint and something phenolic. Rounded, sweetish palate with fresh citrus effect, appetizing, strong carbo, mild herbal hop bitterness in the end with a whiff of gin-like alcohol. Well-balanced and tasteful.
Bottle. Musty peach/orange, yeast, and light malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate white head - nice lacing. Funky yeast, apricot barley malt, and light alcohol flavor.
Een heel lekker blond biertje met goed wat smaak aan. Een aanrader tussen de blonde bieren
Bottle courtesy of a friend. Poured a hazy light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, sweet malt. The flavour is medium sweet with an alcoholic sweet malt light hop bitter palate and a lingering light sweet finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Sample at a bbq.
Veru thin white head. Cloudy blond pour. A bit sweet. Nice beer.
33cl bottle. Estery nose of dried citrus rind, lemon oil, peach skin, flowers. Creeping banana esters with warmth.
Quaffable, quenching and juicy in the mouth. Honey malt sweetness with some banana bread resemblance. Low bitter, moderate acidity and strong sugariness kept somewhat in check by carbonic acid. Simple but pleasant.
From WLVL. Very floral and fruity aroma and flavors, quite interesting and complex. Serving: Bottle
2014.07 - 75cl - uitgedronken met H. & W. - goudkleurig en troebel, mooie schuimkraag - neus : malte geur - mond : notities kwijt, maar herinner me alleszins dat het een lekker beetje romig bier is
