Flemish etiquette implores you to wait and see if your host offers a toast before sipping your drink. Where Belgian Blonde Ale is concerned, pFriem sees things differently. Waiting to taste a perfect harmony of strength and elegance, while sniffing its pear and clove bouquet is like torture. Clean maltiness, invigorating effervescence and just enough bitterness wait for no one.

On tap. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of soft Belgian yeast, fruity esters and bready malts. Flavors follow same. A bit chalky and not as dry as a Belgian version.

13 oz pour enjoyed at Hop and Hound. Clean, shiny golden pour, thin oily head. Really nice Belgian here. Refreshing, nice floral character with a soft lemon note. Easy drinking Belgian with an ice cool finish. Long lingering floral, Belgian yeast flavor. Good stuff overall.
