Golden colored ale with a good head. Balanced, yellow fruity sweetness, citrus fruits, subtle bready malty and slightly herbal, floral. Not much bitterness. Smooth and creamy. Well balanced. Reminds me of their brilliant Triple, but a bit less fruity and less exciting. Very nice blond ale.
Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours medium hazy, opaque gold, with fine white foam. Aroma is honey, balsamic, yeasty. Body is fairly dense, with moderate carbonation. Taste is medium-high sweet, balsamic, especially in the final.
Draft at Het Anker, Mechelen. 2019 edition.
A dense, long-lasting, snow-white head sitting on a hazy golden pour with a greenish cast to it.
Aroma is high: citrus fruits (orange, lime, lemon), bread, hawthorn.
Soft and mouth-covering, super full-bodied. Crisp. Restrained bitterness. Aftertaste brings back notes of pie and orange blossom. Nice.
Foamy white head stayed on sparkling gold body.
Zesty aroma with sweet citrus & yeast.
Medium bodied, smooth on the front with a sharp back.
Bitter/Sweet citrus, yeast, spices, herbaceous, orange & boozy tastes.
Excellent.
75cl bottle. Great bear, full of body. Taste is almost of a triple. This one is a keeper.
Klare goldene Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Malziger, würziger, fruchtiger Geruch. Geschmacklich malzig, würzig, leicht fruchtig mit spürbarem Alkohol. Mittlere bis hohe Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, voller Körper mit sanfter Kohlensäure.
Diese Bier mit dem langen Namen hatten wir auch aus einer großen Flasche an unserem ersten Bierabend nach dem lockdown.
Es ist ein schön aromatisches Bier mit ordentlich Aromen und Kraft. Dazu ist es auch ganz gut ausbalanciert, sodass es mir wirklich Freude gemacht hat.
On tap at Cafe Cambrinus, Brugge, Belgium. A dark golden coloured pour with a healthy white head on top. Sweet, fruity, yeasty, spice aroma and taste. Quite decent but incredibly sweet and syrupy.
Fabulous full flavour blond. Personally this is knocking on the door of a quality triple. Great brew very enjoyable and one to re buy.
Transparant goud geel bier met ruime witte schuimkraag. Licht zoete, banaan achtige smaak. Klein bittertje in de lange afdronk
(tap 0,3l @ OP (Brno)) Overall: Good belgian. Spicy, drinkable and strong.
Aroma: Spicy, sweet malty.
Appearance: Clear golden. Medium, white head.
Taste: Medium sweet, spicy, light alcohol.
Palate: Higher carbonation. Full body. Creamy texture. Spicy, bitter, warm finish.
31st Jan 2020, International Beer Exchange, Pre-Brugge Bier Festival at De Bierboom. Mini haze to the deep golden pour, white head. Fruity, spicy and boozy, a bit sweet in nature too.
Bottle at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone tasting. clear deep gold colour lasting white head. Belgian yeast aroma
peach fruit
ok. a bit strong
syrup. ok
Fles 75cl thuis. Zacht, zoet, banaan, appel, fruittonen, citrustoets, sinaasappelschil, koriander, licht kruidig, suikers, redelijk koolzuur, licht klef, licht boozy. Goede balans. Redelijk complex. (8-2-2020).
Golden, slightly hazy, with a white head that dilapidates quickly. Intense taste, yet very well balanced. Fruit, spice and a mild booze. Quite good.
Pours with a a hazy blond body and a dense average sized white head. Spicy, floral aroma and taste with tropical fruit, cardamom, bread and some solventy higher alcohol qualities. Medium bodied and spritzy carbonation.
The aroma is very fruity and spicy with a lot of lemons notes. Remind you the "Tripel Karmeliet" and "Westmalle Tripel". The taste is sweet and slightly sour with a lot of fruits and spicy notes. The mouthfeel is ok and the taste is delicious. The carboration is medium and the aftertaste warm and good.
Lastly you do not feel the 10% alcohol and that is very good.
Overall a very good "Strong Pale" beer to drink with your friends or alone. It's similar with "Tripel Karmeliet" and "Westmalle Tripel" a little bit.
75 cl fles. Wazig Goudblond bier met grote witte schuimkraag. Geur: mout, wat fruitig, appel, wat hop. Smaak: zoet, suiker, fruitig, banaan, zoete appel. Volmondig. Medium koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: zoet, alcohol verwarmend.
Donker goud kleurig , beetje troebel en met een witte schuimkraag die snel verdwijnt. Smaakt zoet, citroen, licht bittere droge nasmaak. Ik heb dit vroeger beter beoordeeld
On tap at Brasserie Beck. Hazy pale gold, white head. Yeast, plum, coriander, banana notes. Interesting.
Pours a gold colour with thin white head
Aroma is herbal bit sweet
Taste is herbal not very hoppy long finish
Overall ok
Közepes, nem túl tartós hab, borostyán szín. Visszafogott, friss, fűszeres, gabonás illat. Friss, gabonás, kekszes, fűszeres, borsos ízvilág, némi korianderrel. Testes, közepesen szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Nagyon finom, egy jó ebéd megkoronázásához tökéletes.
Аромат сразу очень утонченный и глубокий. Ощущается много ноток пряностей и специй, на подобие гвоздики и кориандра, немного пшенички, много сладких, цветочных ноток с намеком на мед. Цвет пшеничный, слегка мутноват, пены не много для этого стиля, но высокая карбонизация буквально рождает ее во время соития. Тело тяжелое, вкус сильный, бодрящий даже. На первом плане пряности как ни странно много гвоздики особенно, затем тонки пшеницы. При глотке намеки на алкоголь, тут постепенно появляться сладкие нотки цветов, буквально из пыльца. Все таки хмель есть, и он дает о себе знать уже после. Появляется небольшая сухость, очень тепло в горле. В целом просто офигенный золотой Бельгийский крепкий эль.

AR: belgian yeasty, banana foam
AP: golden clear, white foam lid
F: coriander, Jimmie, orange peel, yeasty, dry and sweet, warming feeling
Masterfully complex. Almost brandy-like alcohol warmth, with spices and citrus notes galore.
Heavy, maar erg lekker!
Pana obfita, raczej gruba, średnio trwała. Barwa złota, klarowna. W zapachu klasycznie - głównie estry w typie brzoskwiń, trochę fenoli i odrobinka starego chmielu, tymianku. W smaku dość słodkie, dominuje kandyzowana morela, rodzynki, nutki likierowe, przyprawowe, nieco miodu i rozgrzewający finisz. Goryczka nieduża, ziołowa, wysokie, grube, musujące wysycenie.
Ogólnie bardzo klasyczny, mocny Golden Ale z Belgii, smaczny, aczkolwiek na dłuższą metę nieco mdły, męczący, "do picia" bardziej podchodzi mi ich wytrawny Tripel czy Hopsinjoor.
75cl bottle from Sandersput, Ninove - many thanks to Anke! Pours hazy golden with a small, slowly thinning, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of freshly cut apple, breadcrust, unripe banana, pineapple, white pepper, clove, lemongrass. Taste is light to medium fruity sweet, hints of apple & pear & some estery banana, bready & yeasty character, sourish touch, spicy notes of grass, clove, pepper, early hops popping up, coming to full display in the dry, earthy hoppy finish, spicy-phenolic, lingering apple peel & bread, some warming champagne-like alcohol. Medium body, slick-creamy texture, lively carbonation. Classic Tripel, well-balanced, even on the dry side. Good one by Het Anker.
0.75l bottle. Clear golden body with a huge white head. Aroma of sugar syrup, green apples, coriander, pepper and orange zest. Taste of bready malts, apples, orange zest, sugar syrup, coriander, a tiny bit of floral hops and some booze. Sweet, sticky and strong. Nice one, but to be honest I expected a bit more based on the Blauw.
