Giallo dorato, ambrato scarico, schiuma bianca fine persistente aroma fruttato, lievito belga, uva spina, albicocca. Dolce abboccato, acidulo, fruttata, agrumeti, zucchero candito. Piuttosto rotonda per lo stile, poco calda, carbonatazione media. Equilibrata ed agrumata
Clear golden color with medium off-white head. Aroma has caramel, yeast, citrus and spices. Taste is fruity with long somewhat bitter and dry aftertaste.
Bottle online from Beerhouseshop.be.
Pours a hazy golden/yellow colour with a huge thick foamy white head. Aromas of citrus and stoney fruits, bananas a little bit of pear and some spice. Taste has more of the fruity notes, hints of floral and a bit more spice. Thinnish watery body, low carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Peppery spice finish. Average blonde. Not bad.
Bottle at Echarle Huevos. Huge head that fades quickly, pale head, almost no lacing. Aroma, at first, is citrics and barnyard. Then comes banana, cloves, pear.
Medium body, rough texture.
Taste of citrus, clove, coriander, pears, bananas.
Correct.
Rigtig god tør smag af vildt gær
Bevuta in bottiglia da 33.
Aroma tropicale. Forse kiwi. Colore dorato, schiuma abbondante pannosa e a pezzettoni.

Tasted this one twice, both in Liège, and must say there's quite a difference between the draft and bottled versions, the latter being a lot better than the former. So, this review is for the draft version, which I had at the fantastic Café Toussaint in the Outremeuse Island.
Thick and foamy off-white head sitting on top of a hazy, shiny golden pour. Very interesting nose (only for the draft, remember): a superb note of Calvados, never ever before found in any other beer, alongside Edam cheese, yeast, lemon peel, coriander, spruce... When bottled you miss the Calvados and Edam notes, just have your average cereal and lemon.
Mouth is not so interesting, but it isn't bad either: dry, watery and fizzy. Rather tasteless, but firm and leading to a bitterish, long finish. The bottled one is not long at all and much fizzier.
I'll drink it again, but only as long as it's on tap.
Bottle shared by Johan S thanks. Linngering white head. Opaque golden color. Phenolic and typical Belgian aroma. Crisp fresh dry and very nice dry belgian taste.
Ni fu ni fa
Hazy, light yellow color with a good firm head. The taste starts firm, robust. Herbal, not very sweet. Nicely complex, quite rich - full. Warming. Quite a solid blonde considering the modest alcohol contents. Good.
Robe blond clair brillante, voilée avec de la très fine levure, mousse très abondante et très tenace, épaisse. Belle carbo. Nez fruité, agrumes (citronné) et levure, assez riche. Attaque citronnée aussi, agréable et rafraichissante. On dirait presque qu'il y a du froment. Légère amertume en finale, qui ajoute une pointe herbacée subtile. Facile à boire, pas très ronde mais aromatique.
Bottle. Pours clear yellow, large white head, good lacing. Aroma is grass, Belgian yeast, floral, honey. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter. Lighter plus body. Fine.
33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours transparent, classic blond, with initially abundant but quickly fading white foam, very fine. Aroma is caramel, malty, honey, fruity. All the typical malt sensations. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet - though not excessive - and with a little bite of bitterness at the very end. Final is not long, but again it leaves a little sweetness behind.
Oklar ljusgul med tjockt vitt skum. Doftar fruktigt, kryddigt och maltigt. Smaken fyllig, söt, lite besk. Eftersmaken lång med kryddiga, lite sötbeska toner.
Złote, mętne, piana wysoka, średniej struktury, wolno opada, zostawia lejsing. W aromacie owoce, słód, przyprawy - bardziej pieprz. W smaku większa gama przypraw, słodowość, umiarkowane owoce. Dobrze ułożone, półwytrawne, dobrze wysycone.
0,3 liter bottle. Nice beer! Full of flavour and thick foam This one is a keeper!
Flaska från Belgiuminabox. Disig gyllengul vätska med ett gigantiskt kritvitt skum. Mycket snyggt i en remmare. Jäst, säd, vaxig honung, syltade apelsinskal. Stor kropp för stilen och alkoholstyrkan. Ganska snällt kryddad och trots söt smakbild ganska pigg och livlig. Välbrygt och gott.
Bottle. Poured a hazy golden color with a larger sized head. Yeast, some sweetness in the middle and a spicy finish.
De color dorado, con una buena cabeza espumosa. Cuerpo y carbonatación media. Aroma a pan y malta. En boca es agradable, frutal con un final levemente picante sintiendo la presencia del cilantro.
Flaska från Belgoklubben. Ljust gul med vitt skum. Skumbanan och örter i doft och smak.
Przegazowane. Piana spora i gęsta. Aromat lekka Belgia, przyprawy, brzoskwinia. W smaku lekko słodowe.
God vardagsbelgare, men inget extra sådär!
Bottle at La Fleur en Papier Dore. Hazy golden with a white head. Grainy and a bit chemical. A little bitter. Medium bodied.

Clear brassy gold with thin thin lacy white head
Aroma is funky barn, fresh grain sweet notes of marshmallow
Fkava is sweet with honey and herbal notes
Feels light with decent fizz
Finishes dry grainy and herbal
Hazy golden, white frothy head. Very faint fruity and spicy aroma, m aye some bread - really low intensity. Similar taste - not too spectacular, but nice and clean and quenching - moderate fruity fragrance, really low on malts, moderate spicy bitterness. A nice simple blonde.
Golden hazy with a frothy head.
Citric, fruity and grassy smell. Rather metallic taste for a Belgian blonde. Good carbonation.
