Bottle. Pours cloudy gold with bone white head. Nose and taste of lemon zest, pear, yeast, bready malt and citrus fruits. Light spicy malt in the finish with some lemon bread notes. Medium body.

Has a very nice clear gold body; yes, it’s almost like a million and one other blondes but it has that extra "je ne sais quoi" to make it exceptional. The head as well is huge and white, and has serious staying power. The aroma, however, is only a weak hint of citrus and grain. The flavour is mostly syrup and sugary adjuncts with a bit of malt in the middle. It’s intended to be a Belgian-style blonde, but comes off as a little too harsh for such a style. Essentially, it’s missing finesse to drag it out of the quagmire of mediocrity.

Pours deep gold into a Duvel tulip. Bright white fluffy micro head with excellent retention and craters leaving sheet lacing and looks quite at home. Candi and yeast aromas. Crisp with upfront biscuit and yeast turning hoppy in the lasting finish.

Huge, just yellowish tinted head, very tenacious over hazy yellow-ochre beer, well-carbonated. Something as astringency deploying in the nose, sweetish malts, dough. More malts, with a point of bitterness and one of piquancy, that isn’t quite sourish. Finish has a bit of spices, quite yeast-determined. Very carbonated MF, on the verge of fizzy, light body. Sweetish aftertaste. OK blonde. Very yeast-intoned, if not overly Belgian, IMO. Grand merci à Sylvain!

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a hazy pale golden body and a white head. Aroma of spice, bread and floral notes. Taste is spice, bread, dryness and pear. Medium bubbles, dry mouthfeel.

Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, léger de bananes, notes de poires et de pommes) et épicées (poivre doux, léger de coriandre), moyen de pain, léger de biscuits au miel avec des notes de gomme balloune, de sucre bonbon et de houblon herbeux et floral (herbes fraîches). Moyennement rond e en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture très légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes, notes de bananes, de pommes, traces de poires et de pêches) accompagné d’un léger-moyen goût épicé (coriandre) ainsi que des notes de gomme balloune lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de pain, un léger goût de biscuits au miel avec des traces de sucre bonbon et de céréales. En finale, l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes fraîches) aux notes florales ainsi qu’un léger goût épicé (poivre très doux). Post-goût moyen, léger-moyen amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales avec un goût de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, notes de pelures de bananes et de pelures de pommes).

Bottle: Poured a hazy beige color ale with a super huge white foamy head with perfect retention and good lacing. Aroma of fruity ester with some Belgian style malt. Taste is also a very nice and refreshing mix between some fruity ester with some nice Belgian malt and a hoppy finish with what appears to be some Saaz or other European green hops. Body is full with perfect carbonation and no alcohol was showing. Very well done and I wish more brewer would brew easily drinkable Belgian ale.

A golden pils with a thin light creamy white head. A light pleasant coriander aroma. In mout, a pleasant crisp malt with fruity esters, berries, and warming alcohol. The beer was described by the server has a new pils for the pub, an experiment by Nicolas, the brewer. If this is a pils, it is exceptional but veers more on the Palm/Belgian ale side. On tap at the brewpub, Sept. 1 2007.
