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.

750 ml bottle (Tesco). Clear straw colour and very carbonated, lots of yeast in the bottle, but fortunately this was well settled. The frothy white head lasted well. The taste was typically blonde with obvious alcohol and a sweet aftertaste.

Bottle (@ Leon de Belge, Essen): Fruity (citousy) nose with a distinctive touch of yeast; hazy, golden coloured, small white head, quite stable; mild, sweetish-fruity flavour; short, a bit hoppy, but mainly fruity, yeasty finish. Unspectacular ale, quite well drinkable....

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized foamy head. Barnyardish aroma with caramelly hints. Flavour almost the same. Boring beer with no surprises. Prefer the brune....

(bottle) Hazy pale golden coloured hue with yeast floaties and a mid sized white foamy head. Dusty and moderately sweet wheat-malty nose with a dense citrus note. Light sweet malty taste with light citrus notes, medium bodied, crispy mouthfeel; dry and fruity finish blended with a touch of hoppy bitterness. Decent.

Golden coloured with a slight haze. Fluffy head. Sweet-ish wheat-y aroma. Light-bodied with an yeast-dry fruity flavour. Drinkable but it need more body.

(Bottle 33 cl) 6,8% ABV in my version. Hazy, golden beer with a fine fluffy head. Fruity nose, fruity flavours - coriander? - very soft mouthfeel. Almost no bitterness. A pleasant beer that wouldn’t offend anyone. Easy to finish, easy to forget. 200398
