Proud, headstrong, full of character. Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, gave all these attributes to the rebellious Ghent “stroppendragers” or noose-wearers. And what goes for the people of Ghent also goes for this strong blonde beer.

Bottle, at John Bull. It’s an almost entirely clear one, golden in color and with a big, white head that lasts. Nice lacings. Fruity nose with a faint yeast note and white sugar. Apples and pears and a faint cellar touch. There’s a pleasant bitterness in the flavor, with fruits like apples and pears and some banana and lemon hints. White sugar and a herbal, lightly spiced touch. Full body, nice carbonation level, and quite dry. Lasting finish with a nice bitterness and some fruityness. A bit too much white sugar, especially in the aroma, but overall it’s quite nice. 131124

Tap at De Paas, Den Haag. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a frothy long lasting white head and lots of broken lace. The aroma is malty yeast. The flavour is medium bitter. Medium bodied with average carbonation. It’s a Pilsener but not too bad. Quite refreshing.

Golden coloured body with a thin, one centimetre tall white head and tons of bubbles coming from the bottom - very nice! Aroma of hay, grass, yeast, alcohol and a touch of spices - very nice aroma. Medium-bodied; Very grassy and herbal flavours throughout with a bunch of hops noticeable at first, then fading to a yeast and woodsy finish with a saison and biere de garde flavour coming through. Aftertaste shows a nice dry final taste with a touch of light sugars, some subdued malty notes and a bit of pepper and spice - very nice. Overall, a well crafted beer with plenty of herbs, spices and dry notes! Definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this 33 cL stubby bottle purchased from de Bier Tempel in Bruges, Belgium on 14-August-2013 for €2,50 sampled in my hotel room here in Gent, Belgium on 16-August-2013.

Blond yellow pale colour. Easy drinkable blond ale. Bitter with some fruitiness (grapefruit) and a metallic aftertaste (typical for Roman).

Bottle, 6.9% at KØ13. Mild spicy aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is mild and spicy, coriander and all that. Reminds me more of a wit than a blond, but less refreshing than a wit, I suppose.
