The most famous of our beers. The blond cuvée des jonquilles (daffodils) has a slightly cloudy pale golden color. A very refreshing and digestible palate, with aromas on both citrus and floral. the bitterness is both subtle and sophisticated, supported by yeast.

Pours hazy gold into a snifter. Bright white head with little retention recedes leaving sheet lacing to skim surface. Sweet herbs and and wheat. Dry with sweet summer hay and dandelion upfront turning to herbal yeast in the medium-length finish.

75cl bouteille partagée avec mon père. BB 12/2014, Lot#48. Dorée présentant un léger trouble, col blanc moyen. Arôme est agréablement fleuri laissant se dissiper un parfum subtile, fruité - citronné avec un arrière note de levure tirant vers le côté belge. Garde cette approche typique de saison. Palais est sec, pointe de levure, note de grains sur un houblonnage légèrement amer. Malgré cela, la fin de bouche conserve une fine douceur. Fleuri, léger houblonné, pointe de citronné, le palais conserve ce profil sec de grains. Effervescence est moyenne-haute.

8/III/13 - 33cl bottle from... don’t remember, probably De Hopduvel or Geers, shared @ home, BB: no month / 2014 (2013-???) Entering this in 2022, when I discovered I hadn’t rated it, and also discovered a bunch of old beer labels from 2013, allowing me to roughly locate this rating in time and look it up in my backlog.
Pretty cloudy light amber beer, small off-white irregular head, unstable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: overripe fruits, honey, a bit chemical, sugary, spicy. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: a bit sweet, some citrus, something rotten, nasty, pretty bitter, meaty, grains. Aftertaste: sweet still, rotten stuff, some alcohol, overripe banana, pretty off... Don’t like it...

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks Yoav. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Fresh earthy and fruity aroma with wheat, bubblegum and a bit of spiciness. Sweetish fruity flavor with mellow spiciness. Medium-bodied, lively carbonation. Nice and refreshing.

Aroma has quite a bit of a pale sweet malt character with the graininess of pilsner malt and a touch of a pale malt aroma. Balanced phenolics and esters. The phenolics are mostly clove with a touch of peppercorn as it warms. The esters are banana, floral and a touch of citrus. Pours a slightly cloudy golden straw with a thin white head that recedes very quickly. No head retention and no lacing. The sweet malt flavors hit immediately. Lots of pilsner an background pale notes. Behind that this beer is an ester bomb. Lots of pear, citrus and banana. Also very floral and a bit cidery. Low to no hop flavor and low to medium low bitterness. No alcohol flavor. A touch of astringency way back in the finish. Phenolics are less noticeable in the flavor but there is a hint of clove. A touch of a hard water mineral flavor. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with high carbonation. Astringency is very low and alcohol warmth is low. Overall I really like this beer and the style. Perhaps the esters in the flavor could be a bit lower, and more balanced with the phenolics but this is really nicely done. Easy drinking though a touch sweet. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
