Pours bright golden with a thin foamy off white head. Notes of citrus, fruity esters, apple, white grape, honey, pale malt and bready yeast. Medium bodied with extra body provided by yeast. A nice blonde ale.
This is definitely an odd beer. Golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of freshly mown grass. Flavor is anise, lemon juice and black pepper. Strange. Unique.
Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of malt and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of fruit, leading to a dry finish. The body is light.
Bottle from Publick House. Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Light, sweet, and lemony aroma. Body bubbles away with carbonation. It’s an easy drinking beer, light mouthfeel, citrus taste dances with the yeastiness well. Love the peppery finish; a hint of smokiness, too.

Bottle. The aroma is fruity, light sour and later on a little bit sweet. The head is medium large, white and creamy with a short duration. The body is orange. The taste is light metallic, bitter and unfortunately not so pleasant. The body is creamy, light metallic with a soft carbonation and rather soft.
Pours golden with a small white cap. Aroma is grainy with a slight bit of floral hops. Taste is marred by a metallic bite that I seem to find in all blonds.
Light hazy yellow coloured beer with average carbonation and a rather small white head. Stronger and yeasty full grainy creamy aroma. Full palate. Finish is bitter, yeasty with a dry and light herby finish. Not bad.
gold blond coloured sparkling body with a white head a fruity hoppy aroma a fruity hoppy herby taste with a herby bitter finish
Clear blond coloured beer with small white head and lots of carbonation. Spicy, granny aroma. Full creamy palate. Finish is spicy ending bitter and a dry.
A honey gold colored brew with a noisy white head that ends in a blotchy layer. Honey is also prominent in the aroma along with a hint of sweet funkiness. Flavor is a bitter pepper and unripe fruit. Hops are floral. Flavor becomes more malt intensive as it warms. Lots of effervescence. That odd pepper effect detracts from the enjoyment.
Sampled on 3/24/2009. This Belgian Ale pours a cloudy orange gold color from a 33cl bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, with decent retention and nice long lasting lacing. Aroma is grassy, orange and fruity somewhat sweet. A medium bodied Belgian Ale. The malts are grassy and fruity, somewhat sweet. Touch of leather and must. The hops are floral and earthy but rather mild. Nice balance. Good carbonation. A fairly average beer, very drinkable but nothing really special. Probably would make a decent session ale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
bottle, pours light orange, thin off white head. Spicey citrus aroma with a thin butter note. Sweet malt turning bitter with pepper spice and some orange peel. Interesting, but the finish is too bizaar and does not taste good.
Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Smells of sugar, some citrus, spicey. Tastes grassy and bland.
(33cl bottle) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a huge foamy white head. Sweet and yeasty, initially flowery nose that turns quite soapy after a short while, accompanied by a touch of citrus and spicy notes. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation. Yeasty malty taste with a restrained fruit-character, mixed up with some medicinal notes of band aid, “lingering” into the moderately soapy finish. Leave me alone (24.II.09).
Bottle, 6%. OK farty and spicy aroma. Clear golden colour, stable white head. Mild plastic aroma. Slightly rough bitterness in the finish. Not too distinct plastic, but not good.
Bottle pours a light golden body. Pine and earthy hop accents. Light citrus and lime. Dusty with a tart finish. okay.
Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Musty earthy aroma and taste with an ashy vegetable taste.
11.2oz bottle, poured a orangish gold. Nice head that dissapated relatively quickly. Strange mix of flabors, wheat, pinto beans, toasted malts, vanilla and a hint of citrus. Bottle says its brewed with lime blossoms... whatever. Not the best blonde I’ve ever had, but OK.
Bottle, Cambrinus. Witbier haze with a dissipating white head. Watery pine, swill of rusty can, beans, honey and lemon aroma. Yeasty Twiglet notes, hops without edge or spike, no finish or bitterness. Bit of a weird beany toasted wheat and wholemeal N/A feel to it. Hit the nail. Strange and empty.
Bottled sample via Piscator. Lemony aromas. Yeasty tasting. Quite enjoyed this Belgian ale. Thanks Piscator.
Bottle 33cl.
Unclear medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate yeasty, leather ? cheese. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (220808)
Bottled sample via lubiere. Gold in colour with strong spritzy carbionation. Aromas of lemon sponge cake, yeast, and a bit of earth. Yeast and pale malts are the dominant flavors, along with some pear, vanilla, hay, and icing sugar notes. Fairly dry on the finish, with a bit of a sour twang. Lots of complexity and fairly drinkable too.
Bottle from Bruisin’ Ales. Hazy deep golden pour with generous white head. This one’s a definite oddball. Doughy east, citrus, earthy bitter grass/leaves/twigs, and an unidentifiable funky smell and maybe some lime peel? Similar on the palate, with a key lime peel bitterness and a very dry finish. Odd and not entirely pleasant taste.
Bottle from Wine and Cheese Place in (near) St. Louis, MO. LIght hazy amber color with a huge frothy white head. Strange aromas of yeast and arguably lime. Near medium body with lightly frothy carbonation. Flavor is something like old linoleum paste, with florality and citrality. The yeast is really noticeable. Rather mouth-smacking. It is quite out of the ordinary. The sort of ale that challenges perceptions. I’ve decided I am enjoying it. Finishes dryish and somewhat astringent. Gets even better with time. Turns to a flavor like chewing lime tree twigs. (or stems, to be precise). God knows where brewers get these ideas. Oh, look, a lime tree. Let’s toss it in the the kettle. At least they seem to stick with vegetation.
33cl bottle from Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL). Pours a dark golden to copper color with a thin white head that settles quickly. Little lacing on glass. Aroma is floral and spicy with hints of pear, banana, and sweet malt. Flavor is interesting with notes of grain, hay, faint citrus, and spice. Generally light body with a strange tart finish.
hazy yellow, big white head, nice and fluffy, nice lacing. mildly malty aroma. flavor creamy and grainy, with hints of friuty spiciness. medium bodied, slightly bitter finish. enjoyable, if mild, brew. a kinf od lingering mustiness in this beer.
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with lacing white head. Yeasty aroma of cheese, strange. Flavour is dry towards flat yeasty, spiced and wheaty. Off yeasty and mild malty finish. Not good, rerate needed.
Bottle, bought @ Skjold Burne, Store Torv, Aarhus.
Pours pale orange-yellow with a small, creamy, lightly off-white head. Aroma is a bit malty, some burnt caramel, oranges, light coriander and some floral notes. High and lively carbonation, a bit thin. Flavour is mild, rather dry, good oranges, light tartness. Fine enough beer, but nothing special.
33cl, recently retired beer, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, not complex, cloudy, rocky head, nothing special
