On June 20, 2015. At Bomber Brewing, in Vancouver, British Columbia.As "Blonde Ale" at 5% ABV.Clear straw yellow color, white head. Malty, grainy, spicy scent. Malty, sweet, some caramel taste. Sweet, spicy aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness.Didn’t get any Belgian character at all, but guess it belongs under this ID on ratebeer?

Light blonde, strong bubblegum aroma, tastes like fairly dry, modest pale malts, a bit husky, and a little bit too many phenols, too. But has potential as a dry blonde.

On tap at Bomber, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light Belgian yeast, some floral notes, and zesty cracker notes. Flavour is dry and crisp, bringing out dry crackery malt and light floral hops - not getting much Belgian quality here. Very drinkable as thirst-quenching. Decent stuff.

On tap. Pours amber wiht light head. Aromas of cereal and a bit of cardboard. Flavors of grain, grass, and paper. Seems off.

Draught at the brewery
Blond color with a honey hue, hazy. Delicate aroma of malt with light fruity touch. Dry mouthfeel; moderate malt and cereals flavor; the yeast character is pronounced, not as evident as in some real Belgian, but appreciated; relatively strong bitterness, light grassy touch, in this beer as well it gets a chicory turn (not good), but luckily here it’s better under control.
Decent beer; at least the hopping phase has to be polished though.
