1.6 Bof, de l'eau

3.3 33cl bottle. Nice beer with high alcohol, high sweetness and some fruity hop (yeast?). Low Co2 and weak foam. Correct.

3.6 Lekker krachtig blond bier met een bittere afdronk. Ideaal koud geserveerd op een warme avond.

3.0 A decent beer, although i´m not a fan of Grimbergen. This beer is much better than the Blanche that they produce, which is nothing but water with alcohol in it. Not the greatest head, neither is it very easy on the eyes where it essentially looks like any other northern beer you´d find at a sketchy bar. It does although deliver a decent taste, perhaps having a bit more bitterness than other blondes. Aromas are fruitfilled, with orange/citrussy and banana being a part of the tastes foreground.

3.4 Zboże, łąka kwiatowa, drożdże, banany, troszkę pomarańcza. Przejrzyste, ciemnozłote z lekką pianą. W smaku pszenica, drożdże.

3.1 Aroma is light, sweet, yeast, bananas, orange peel. Appearance is clear dark gold with a white head. Taste is mild, bittersweet, banana, citrus fruits and spices. Finish is bitter and very dry. Palate is medium carbonation, with very fine bubbles. Overall bittersweet, banana, citrus fruits and spices, very dry finish 3.1/5.

3.3 Amertume un peu trop présente

2.7 Birra dal colore giallo dorato e un bel cappello di schiuma bianca pannosa e molto persistente. Il profumo è maltato con sfumature floreali e di miele. Il gusto è morbido e delicato, da molto sul dolce dove spiccano note fruttate, di miele, di marzapane, biscotti e frutta secca ma con un finale debolmente amaro. Corpo leggero e ben bilanciato tra gli ingredienti.

3.0 33 cl bottle @ home. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma and flavour are banana, yeast, and wheat - with a slightly sweet finish.

3.0 330 ml bottle. Pours clear golden with a large white lasting head, lacing present. Very presentable. Aroma is a mix of lager and belgian beer, marzipan being the main note. Flavour is ok but you can taste the added sugar which is definitely not needed. Finish is weird, I think it's from glucose. Watery texture, refreshing, long flavour. Ok, but nothing special.

4.0 Heerlijk biertje, lekkere volle smaak

3.2 Bottle. Clear dark gold/orange with a lovely white head. Aroma of flowers, wheat, sugar and piss I’m afraid. Taste of malts, honey, floral hops, wheat, sugar, traces of citrus fruits and iron. Low bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Thin body but very drinkable. Nice.

3.4 A 33 cl bottle poured into a tall pilsner glass on a ship one day away from Puntarenas, Costa Rica. There’s active carbonation coming up through a gold-amber body to form a solid, pure white head. The scent is nice, yellow fruit, yeast and white bread. A drink is pleasant, spicy with coriander, nectarines, apricots, biscuit and a bit of hops. An appreciated departure from a trip of average brews.

3.8 Pours a cloudy, golden amber coloration with a small, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity, slightly bready and caramelly malt and grassy, citrussy hops, as well as some estery spice, with notes of cloves, also coming through. Taste is a good balance of biscuity, slightly bready and caramelly malt, grassy, citrussy hops and fruity and spicy esters, with notes of apple and clove and nutmeg. Finishes bittersweet, with a light sweetness and and some sweet malts, citrus, apple and spice lingering in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation. I think this makes for a tasty Belgian Blonde Ale that has a great balance of sweet malts, slightly bitter and citrussy hops and fruity and spicy esters going for it, as well as a very nice mouthfeel. It's pretty heavy on the hoppy citrus notes, which I personally don't mind at all, but still very well-balanced overall, making a very enjoyable example of the style.

3.0 Moja ocena jest moja subiektywną oceną i nie musi pokrywać się z twoją oceną. Miej to na uwadze. Dystans zalecany. Instagram/czgr_

3.0 verrassend van smaak wel lekker

3.6 Klare goldene Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Malziger, leicht brotiger Geruch. Geschmacklich malzig, brotig, Karamell, leicht säuerlich. Mittlere Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

3.9 330ml bottle into pint glass. From Beer Cartel. Pours clear and golden with swirls of tiny bubbles. Large head of white foam which laces. Looks fantastic. Nose is malt and brown bread. Smooth and viscous, lots of caramel with a nice balanced finish (subtle hoppy bitterness). I haven't been able to buy really good beer for a long while so my rating is probably exaggerated but this is a great beer.

3.2 Barwa: jasne, słomkowe, klarowne Piana: obfita, duże pecherzyki, szybko opada, bez lacingu Aromat: goździki, przyprawy, drożdże, jakiś dziwny aromat którego nie jestem w stanie nazwać, jakby trochę benzyna Smak: słodkie, trochę goryczki, lekka wytrawność.

3.4 There is a Grimbergen flavor that is hard to describe but is typical for those kinds of beers and it is present here. A combination of hops that has a unique flavor. I kind of like it. This beer is on the lighter side still it is good.

3.0 Aromat: slodowy, przyprawowy, estrowy w tym czerwone jabłko. Wygląd: złote, klarowne, piana biała znika do zera nie oblepia szkła. Smak: lekko slodkawe, goryczka niska. Odczucie w ustach: pełnia na średnim poziomie, wysycenie musujące. Ogólnie: poprawne piwo, jednak skład mógłby być lepszy.

3.3 Binne bière d’abbaye

3.3 Golden beer with medium of white head. Aroma is sweet, alcohol. Bitter, spice, sweet.

2.8 Ciemno złote, klarowne z nietrwałą białą pianą. W aromacie owocowe, słodowe, lekko jabłkowo goździkowe. W smaku słodowe, lekko metaliczne, raczej słodkie z owocowymi nutami. Dobrze pijalne, z niską goryczką i wysyceniem.

2.5 Wygląd: w wyglądzie bardzo "lagerowe", piana nietrwała, przejrzyste, jasny bursztyn. Zapach: goździk, trochę owocowy W smaku bardzo delikatna goryczka, banan, trochę przypraw orientalnych, trochę "pustej kwasowości", średnio pijalne. Nie jest źle, ale nie wiem czy zdecydowałbym się na ponowny zakup.

4.0 Prima bier, niet teveel koolzuur, schuimt normaal. Smaak is een beetje zoet.

3.1 Fles. Eerder ook gedronken, maar niet genoteerd. Relatief vol vna smaak, wat zoet (mar niet te erg). Zeker een aardig bier, maar niet wereldschokkend. Notitie 9-8-21

2.8 Esta é uma cerveja dourada, macia mas não deslavada. Cerveja comum. Nada especial. Parece uma pilsener

3.5 Lite bittert. Litt søtlig og brusende. God smak.

3.1 Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano indizi di caramellizzato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Bollicine fini costituiscono anche la forma del perlage, con carbonazione vivace e persistente. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e un po' ruvido. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sul palato si riportano impressioni di zucchero caramellato, caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, erbaceo, agrumi ed erbe aromatiche.
