Its slight bitterness gives it a slightly fruity and hoppy aroma. Not too strong but round strong character. A powerful beer structure and a lovely strength. The bubble is fine and soft . The palate is smooth, round and fruity (pear, orange, blond tobacco, milk chocolate). In the end palate, a tangy side and a little bitterness is clearer, giving it balance with its freshness.

Bottle @ De Zotte. A malty, rather sweet, fruity blond beer with a slightly bitter finish. Nothing special.

Bottle, Tesco. Poured a golden colour with a white head which vanished to nothing. Sweet malty aroma. Flavour similar. Vague hops present. Pretty unspectacular, but drinkable.

Bottle 0,33l. Pale golden - a bit hazy. A small shortlived fluffy head. Some carbonation. Modest but inviting spicy and malty aroma. Flavor dominated by dry fruits. Some bitterness after a while. Not offensive in any way.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to light orange with small floaties and a dense off-white head. Wheat and coriander aroma. Ligth fruity and coriander spiced wheat flavour. Starts medium sweet before a dry wheat flavour appears into the finish. Far finish once again gives way to a more sweet and fruity wheat, almost banana, note.

33 cl bottle as Gauloise Triple Blonde. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, light toasted malty and mild caramelish. Mild bitter, henolic and light caramelish. Light fruity. Phenolic and light bitter medium dry finish.7-3-8-3-15

Cloudy unclear gold with a full white creamy head that drags some handsome lacings. Spicy herbal aroma and taste.! Not completely impressed!

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 14 Sep 2007) Golden yellow colour with frothy white head. Malty nose with sweetish, grassy notes of honey and a hint of smoke. Malty, grassy taste with toffee, slightly sweetish notes of smoke, spicy hops in the finish. Starts rather sweet, but turns drier towards the finish. Nice and mellow.
