Purchased from Nardi's Cellarbrations (with a glass!) in September 2022. Drunk in July 2023.

L: Extremely clear, golden yellow. Thin, bright-white head. Large bubbles fly up the glass as individual units rather than one big stream.

S: Belgian yeasty sourness, coriander, cloves.

T: Belgian-yeast-driven, tangy, leathery base. Coriander and cloves merge smoothly onto the palate at the point of swallow. The aftertaste is long and sweet and slightly phenolic. No hint of the 6.5% ABV.

F: Mouthfeel is smooth. Carbonation and associated prickle are low. I suspect the beer comes across as slightly sweeter than it would if the carbonation was higher.

O: A nice, very Belgian, blonde ale. It has the definite Belgian yeast overtone that is difficult to describe in any way other than "Belgian". Would be very refreshing on a hot day.

Cheers!

Bottle. Clear golden orange. Dense head with good retention and lacing.
A ruining metallic smell. A mix of other aromas including earthy farmyard, fungus, spices and orchard.
Tastes a bit like candy floss with fruit and honey with a bitter completion.
Mid range carbonation and body.
Why didn't I like this very much? Perhaps too many things going on.

A: Dark side of golden, clear, medium sized thick head which hung around for a bit, left quite a bit of lacing.

S: Yeast and bretanomyces.

T: Starch, phenols and bretanomyces, seemed to add bitterness at the finish.

M: Medium to thick body, crisp texture.

O: A blonde with more depth than those from the bigger Belgian breweries, added complexity as it was drunk.

From Alcampo. In Grimbergen glass. At dinner, with york ham+cheese sandwich. Delicious sweet sugaryness here. I only miss a bit more carbonation so that it feels a bit less watery

Amber orange color with a thick thin head with decent retention.
Aroma with notes of oranges, candi sugar, sweet white bread, a bit of white pepper and mild herbal hops.
Nice flavor with notes of spices, candi sugar, herbal hops, apricot, oranges, pineapple juice, pears and perfume. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Light to medium velvety body with slight effervescent carbonation. Alcohol of 6.6% is well disguised.
Elegant Belgian Blond Ale that started phenolic than got very balanced with complex fruity notes.
