Very nice hazy ornage piur, with a big white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, yeast, light bready malts, and some great soft sugar. Flavor is quite balanced between sweet, and bitter. Lovely carbonation, with a great tropical fruit aftertaste. Incredibly easy drinking, and a wonderful summertime patio beer.

Dorada consistentemente turbia, de preciosa espuma abundante y duradera. Aroma poco marcado, pero muy de blonde belga. En boca es intensa, seca, con buen punto de gas, de amargor moderado a intenso y con el sabor de las maltas de calidad y el contrapunto de matices frutales y especiados. Sabrosa.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a very slightly hazy golden/amber colour with a large thick creamy white head. Aromas of stoney fruits, peaches, apricot, floral and citrus with also a hint of peppery spice. Taste is the same notes again with just a hint of the peppery spice, sweetness and a gentle hop on the finish. Medium body with average carbonation and very slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice fruity full flavoured Blond.

Light orange color, hazy. Hoparoma, somewhat dusty with vanilla. Sweetish, very hoppy flavor, almost creamy with vanilla. Great quality beer, not as deep and complex as Contreras Mars, but with a very fine taste. Tap, Café de Engel Oldenzaal. Malty aroma. Malty sweet buttery flavor, with loads of mango and peach. Lemon and vanilla. Hopbitterness comes up and persists in the aftertaste. Lovely!

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours clear golden with a big, collapsing, unstable, foamy, white head; some lacing. Aroma of hay, grass, unripe apricot & green banana, flowery hand soap, yeast, faint iron. Taste is light fruity sweet balancing apple & apricot, and light to medium grassy bitter, faintly spicy with a yeasty & hoppy touch; sourish accent of lemon in the back. Dry, grassy & earthy hoppy finish, bit spicy & yeasty, very faint metallic note too, and a dash of warming jenever alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Typical Belgian Ale but with a 'modern' touch, although I do feel it's outdated somehow...
