330ml bottle from Noz. It seems I was fooled by the name of this brew, despite the warning from the previous reviewer. More amber than blonde. Certainly bears the sweetish hop fruit more commonly associated with pre-craft IPAs with malt shouldering the burden of overall character. Generally ok.

Pours a cloudy dark orange with a white head. Don’t be fooled by the name of this brew. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, malt, floral hops. Nice full bodied with only a light bitter hoppy aftertaste. Smooth IPA, another winner from Emelisse.

[as Emelisse Blonde IPA, ABV 5.8%] Bottiglia. Il naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di aspetto nebbioso. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas e arancia.

23 June 2021. At Slot Oostende, Goes. Shared with the lovely Anke! Clear golden, frothy, white head. Aroma of melon, grape, mandarin, apricot, plum. Taste has sweetish melon, mandarin & pineapple, some sour citrus, low bitterness, biscuity maltiness; floral hoppy finish with yeast, zest and yellow fruit. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Not bad, but could have been called a Belgian Blonde or Belgian IPA for that matter.

Overly large white foamy head stayed on an unclear, finely carbonated, vivid amber body. Spiced fruit aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & tingly with a dry clean back. Bitter fruit, citrus, pith, herbal & medicinal tastes with a long tangy finish. Tasty but a bit harsh on the palate
