A golden blonde color with just the slightest amber tint. Tall, creamy head. Sweet malty aroma with fruit and yeast. A touch of spice as well. Rather typical Belgian blonde flavor. A bit sweet, fruity, malt and caramel. Hopping ok, but not special. A slight sour taste in there as well. Also a bit buttery or creamy. Slightly bitter, sweet and sour finish. Decent mouth feel, medium body and carbonation. A non-exciting abbey blonde. Refreshing and not bad, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Bottle. ABV 6,2%. Clear golden, white head. Aroma of sugar, fruits. Flavour is sweet, some sour apples, malts. Cheap imitation of a Leffe blonde, not too bad however.

Bottled. (6.2%) Clear golden,average head. Fruity glue aroma. Sweet and medium bodied, cardboardy and mushy, sloppy and lager-like. Well below average in almost every aspect.

bottled (thanks Bov!, 0.25l bottle, 6.2%, Abbaye De Dieleghem Blonde). golden colour with small white head, which disappears very fast. Aroma is yeast, rotten fruits, some spices and earth. Flavour is very sweet, earthy, slightly rubbery. A bunch of candisugar and some notes of alcohol. Rather un-balanced and even to the border of being offensive. Leaves a very oily mouthfeel.

0.25 l bottle, thanks Doggythedog for sharing it! Poured pale golden body with quite small white head. Fine, typical Belgian ale aroma, yeasty, with some fruits (banana, ananas) mixed with spices, but not really intensive, at contrary. Sourish flavor, quite nice and let’s say full, but still nothing special, what should be expected from this style. Also finish is very ordinary and left me pretty indifferent. Quite poorly made Belgian ale, although really fine beer.

Abbaye de Dieleghem Blonde, brewed in Belgium, bottled by Saverne for Casino...same beer?0.25l bottle courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!), shared with heavy Poured a small thick white head that went away slowly, lively streams of carbonation pierced the slightly hazy golden body. Spicy and somewhat yeasty nose. Light taste, very light spiciness, bready. Light hoppy bitterness, and some lemon from the same source I guess. Notes of alcohol and malt (not the greatest around). Bready aftertaste. A standard, run of the mill Belgian, but still nice enough.

Pretty age bottle Heavily foaming, but head reduced to transparent film in seconds over golden-orange beer with slight haze, end of bottle totally flunky. Alcohol, herbal and oxydized nose, Belgian pickles, even acetic. Quite acetic touch, going over in wafts of sherry, solvent and acetone flavours. Very disconcerting flavours; every sip starts quite inviting, if oxydized/aged, but then strange uninvited chemicals turn up. Something citrussy & orange peel, fruity. Alcohol/acidic lightened body, slight oilyness. Strange beer, not very gracefully aged, God knows where it started from. 4 versions of " Abbaye de Dieleghem" were made at Lefebvre, one at Huyghe according to the usual sources. I wonder which this one is. The info at proud2be is too selfsure, and the taste is no giveaway.

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown, hazy from lots of yeasty sediment. Huge, fluffy head standing tall in the glass. Very dry and spicy but also "sweet’n’sour" - almost lige a sour Flemish ale. A rather unusual abbaye-beer, but exotic and pleasant. Label: http://home.tiscali.be/proud2b/beers.htm 190294
