On tap at the brewpub. A hazy, golden beer with a small white head. The aroma is mostly fruity, with some pale malts. Dry on the palate, medium body and a nice carbonation. Not the most exciting flavor, typical Belgian blond ale, but less sugary than most of them. Decent bitterness. Medium body. An easy drinkable one, and quite refreshing. 130806

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/4/2013. Pours very hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, clove, wheat, pepper, coriander, floral, banana peel, grass, light funk, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, pear, apple, clove, pepper, coriander, wheat, banana, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of light fruits, clove, pepper, coriander, wheat, banana, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of yeast and malt flavors; with a nice malt/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a smooth, crisp, and fairly prickly mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice Belgian blonde ale. All around nice balance and complexity of malt and yeast ester flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

Aroma is sweet grain, spice and slight fruity esters. Sweet grain aroma turns slightly perfume-like as it warms. Appearance is hazy pale gold with a full white head of small bubbles. Flavor of banana, spice and cookie malt. Everything is so well balanced. Smooth and wonderfully drinkable.
