100mL pour at brewery. Pours mostly clear blonde with white head. Aroma has Belgian yeast with a bright floral component, some citrus. Flavour has nice Belgian yeast, esters, complemented with a good floral character and bright tropical fruit. Very nice.

Okay yellow foggy liquid and a bit of white foam. Has a soft floral hoppy aroma with hints of white dough. Flavour is some lager hops with floral and more lager notes with some sweetness. Medium finish. Alcohol is well hidden but the whole thing just isn't jiving into something unique.

650ml bottle from the brewery. Pours a hazy straw golden with a strong white head. Aroma is spices, Belgian yeasts. Taste is pretty the same with noticable freshness from wet hops. Good Belgian Blonde.

Draft - Bubblegum, banana, pineapple and fruity esters. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Fruity Belgian yeast and sweet finish. Light hop notes are there, but without the label I wouldn't have guessed.

2023-10-27, bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver, 8-4-8-4-16=40
It's blond, with light haze, large head, compact. The aroma is spicy, peppery; sweet malt, soft yellow fruits. It has good body strength, balanced residual sweetness, soft mouthfeel; there's a good malt base (bread, crackers, gallettes), balanced hop, with a mix of peppery and grassy character.
Elegant, and well crafted, as usual.

Cloudy blond color. Instead of the nice Belgian character that I got previously from Dageraad, here I get mainly plastic and soapy feeling from yeast, typical in American attempts at Belgian styles, and the hopping is not what was expected.
2014-10-25, draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver, 7-4-8-5-17=41
Cloudy blond color with creamy head. Beautiful Belgian Ale, with mild spicy aroma, delicate fruity esters, light green hops; strong Belgian yeast character, with a nice body strength, moderate residual sweetness, elegant fruity touch and strong bitterness. Balanced, harmonious, brewed with art.
Excellent.

Bubbly head, hazy, blonde. Aroma is a bit of pedio, yeast. I like the palate better, it’s yeasty but with a light citrusy hop note, some light spice late as well.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a light head. Estery aromas of dried fruit and bananas, light citrus, and Belgian yeast. Flavors of lemony marmalade, spice, toasted malts, and moderate yeast. Definitely more fruity than the original blonde.
