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, small stable frothy head with some lacing, clear and just a touch deep gold colour, yeasty honey aroma, fruity, light candy flavour, too sweet and heavy. Drinkable but not too good.

33cl, BB 20/09/2013. Dorée, blanche crémeux. Arôme est malté et houblonné avec ce côté grains et profil typique de malts cara-pâle. Palais reste dans la norme pour cette brasserie, au final on retrouve une bière on ne peut plus belge sans vraiment être impressionné. Le tout ici garde une présence de levure trop en avant, côté végétal-légume et ce profil grenier le tout suivi par un grains persistant, caramel léger et un houblon amer-citronné des plus typique.

33 cl bottle, 6.3%. Hazy yellow coour with orange shines and big white head, particles in suspension, fizzy look. Nose is hoppy. Aroma is citrusy, apple, cider, gently hoppy. Grassy and floral hops. Malts subdued. Taste rather flat, softly bitter. Dry, slightly acidic. Short finish, citric. Sustained carbonation, light bodied. Refreshing but not impressive.

Medium white head. Clear coppery body with carbonation. Fruity spicy herbal aroma with notes of oranges and flowers. Dryish fruity candy taste with mealy herbal notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, slightly fizzy mouthfeel. Dryish, very faintly acidic, peachy herbal aftertaste with grassy metallic notes. Nice, drinkable, but could use a little more character. (0.33l bottle, wine monopoly, Vika, Oslo.)

33cl from Vinmonopolet, Vika. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, fruit, citrus and malt. Hmmm, apples and strawberries? Sweet, fruity and lighty yeasty with a lightly citric finish. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Very pleasant blond - well balanced and tasty.
