3.1 Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, yeast, hop, sugar. Flavour is fruit, malt, yeast, hop, sugar, spices. Medium body. OK/ Nice beer.

3.4 Bottle at home. Light golden and slightly hazy. Fresh and clean aroma with a hint of fruit and hops. Fairly neutral flavour with a balance of bitterness and sweetness plus a little fruit. Not bad.

2.9 Bottle, 330 ml at Kriek, Poznan. Pours orange with white head. Yeasty and fruity aroma, sweetish flavor, medium body. Not a very good Belgian ale.

3.4 Bottle.Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma of fruitiness, some hints of citrus, yeast and malt. Flavor is sweet and malty with some lemon, fruitiness and yeast. Medium body, average carbonation.

3.2 Bottle. A more or less clear one, golden in color and with a small, dense, white head. Fruity, sugary aroma in the typical Belgian blonde way. Some spiced hints in the back, I’m not able to detect which. A herbal note as well actually. The flavor is quite sugary fruity, with apricot and some orange peel. Some spiced and yeasty hints too. Medium body, semi-dry and with a pleasant carbonation level. Overall, quite boring, but not bad for a Belgian blond. 131214

3.1 Bottle 330ml @ Geokkjer Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, citrus and hint of yeast. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with a long yeasty finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

3.3 Dorée trouble, effervescence moyenne-forte de visu, gazeuse au palais, col blanc moyen. Malts caramel doux en entrée, suivis par une bonne petite amertume de pelure d’orange. Banale mais agréable.

3.5 Decent ale. Golden color with light cloudiness , mid-sized white head. Aroma of yeast , spices and bread. Taste is sweet with yeasty and spices notes. Light bitterness in aftertaste.

3.0 Big head, dense, but collapsing, and nice golden colour, with medium carbonation. Smell is sweet, with some spicy notes. Taste is sweet too, candi sugar, and some liquorice while warming up. But it’s quite light, the aftertaste is quite empty, in a couple of seconds nothing remains in the mouth, not really a big taste. Not bad, but average.

2.7 Lekker blond bier, niet meer niet minder. Lekkere afdrink. Lekker zacht van smaak

2.9 Good looking beer with good and stable foam head. The cling is very nice and is leaving nice marks on the glass. The taste is refreshing but has a very short aftertaste. ---Rated By the Belleketels Earlier Rating: 5/30/2013 Total Score: 2.9 Good looking beer with good and stable foam head.

3.6 Appearance: Hazy golden color with a big white head that leaves a fine lacing. Aroma: Mild malty. Citric, fruity and some yeast. Palate: Medium + body. Mild round sweetness and a moderate bitterness. Soft carbonation. Taste: Mild sweet wheat (banana), mild fruity, yeast and fresh citric. Overall impression: Fresh and lovely Belgian ale. Personal stats: Bottle from Belgian Brasserie Henri in Budapest, Hungary.

3.1 1/IV/13 - 33cl bottle from Comptoir des Fagnes (Couvin, BE) @ home - BB: 5/III/14 (2013-292) Clear blond beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sugary, spices, some citrus. MF: quite some carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter start, citrus, grassy hops, bit watery. Aftertaste: bitter and hoppy, bit spicy, cloves and aniseed.

3.3 Généreuse mousse crémeuse et douce mais trop fuyante. Cette blonde pâle ne développe pas énormément d'arôme. C'est le fruité qui domine tout simplement. Une bouche courte mais relativement ronde, douce et légèrement sucrée.

3.0 Oro buona schiuma discreta persistenza naso lievito leggero malto nota fruttata leggero erbaceo amaro medio discreta nota dolciastra lieve terroso cereale

3.2 Aroma is quite citrusy with some orange blossom. Flavour has light malty begin then fresh citrus. Clean and refreshing.

3.6 33 cl. fles geproefd dankzij Kraddel. Stond blijkbaar al een jaar in zijn koelkast, houdbaar tot 03/08/2012 – goed dat hij daar geen melk heeft staan :) Helder gouden bier wet wat witte bubbels. Ruikt naar honing, Belgische gist, lichte kruiden en wat witte suiker. Smaakt zoet wat vintage zoetigheid, honing, witte suiker, cornflakes, karamel, toets romig,… Niet slecht.

2.3 another i-bought-it-so-i-HAVE-to-drink-it bottle that was waiting for a kamikaze-moment , wich was there, yesterday. as expected, blonde, white foam, no smell, no uniqueness, nothing. just plain sugar, high carbo, bad meciocer belgian blonde taste.. sigh... would throw them all out if there were no possibilities in being surprises 1 % of the time but this is just awfull ...

2.8 Bottle@home, 33cl. Head: white colored foam. Color: gold. Aroma: grain, malt. Taste: some sour, sweet. Palate: thin. Overall: aroma is better than taste..

3.4 330 ml bottle. Nice Belgian ale, but nothing really impressive. I still recommend it, it?s nice for a change

2.9 330ml bottle. Aroma is fruity, really fruity. Almost like cherry. Appearance is pale golden with a finger thick white head. Taste is light sweet and very little bitter. A soft carbonation and a short but light bitter finish. Overall a superb dessert beer.

1.7 Squat 33cl brown bottle, best before 29th Oct 09, drank late May 09. Poured into a Westmalle chalice, with the sediment going into a J&B Whisky glass. Looked like a lager really, golden and with a well formed white head. It was clear because of the double pour, the sediment was murky and was a great afterdrink. Sweet and yeasty aroma, straw, cerels and tinny, not very nice. Metalic nasty flavour. Another Du Bocq designer beer, this brewery could produce (and does) some good beers, but they play around and push out anything they think will sell. Hiding the breweries name on the rear label annoys me too! No wonder I end up coming home with some of their beers, they flood the market and I keep missing who the brewery is.

2.1 From back log , Aged bottle Head: white,, away fast Colour: amberish Smell: bit sour, malts, hay, barley Taste: skunky malts, sweetcorn, mostly sweet and a bit funky/sour, infected ?

4.1 leaves, cheese, spruce, hay, cooked vegetables, licorice, orange, cloudy, white foam, heavy cloying sweetness, medium bitterness, heavily sour, medium body, sticky, average carbonation, long finish,

3.4 33cl bottle. Dorée/paille, col blanc épais. Arôme garde ce profile agréable d’abbaye, levure, houblon fruité avec une pointe d’ester de banane et grains. En bouche, légèrement fruitée, citron sur une amertume moyenne. Garde ce côté rappelant une Maredsous, malté cara note de foin et épice houblonnée. Bière correcte sans vraiment changer le style.

3.2 Ködös mély arany szín, közepes méretű krémes fehér habbal a tetején. Visszafogott illata gabonás és citrusos. A frissítően csípős főzet kissé száraz, némileg fanyar aromáját gabona és gyógyfüves komló kíséri, enyhe citromot idéző, gyümölcsös aláfestéssel. Finoman melengető befejezése fűszeres és száraz, viszonylag hosszan tart.

3.4 Golden coloured beer with a nice sized and good holding head. Decent grain, malts, fruits, and slightly smell hops. Not bad, misses a small boost.

3.8 Bottle @ home. Clear at first, cloudy after pouring in everything. Yellow / golden color, big creamy, mostly lasting white head. Smell lightly malts, a lot of lemon / citrus for a blond beer. Very fruity taste as well, again lots of lime / lemon and very fresh. Nice carbonation that suits the beer, medium body.

3.5 I had this in a small pub in the village of Celles. Nice blond with a big citrus flavore, bready texture, very refreshing. We we’re sitting on a sunny terras and this was just wonderfull ! Loved it (also other people loved it)

2.8 Clear blond coloured beer with small white head and no carbonation visible. Very few herby aroma. Full sparklng palate. Finish is hoppy herby ending bitter sweet. Earlier Rating: 4/5/2008 Total Score: 3 Golden Blond coloured beer with average white head. Sweet dry hoppy aroma. Just a little sprankling palate. Finish is bitter and dry. Average.
