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. Slightly hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of malt, citrus, coriander and spices. The taste reminded of a Witbier. Rather refreshing and drinkable.

Spicy blonde Belgian, plenty of hops, some slight coriander, unintruding and decent drinking but unmemorable. there are better examples out there, but it’s worth trying.... once.

Bottle, 6C. Orange, nice thick white head. High bead. Smells of oranges and Moroccan preserved lemons with coriander and white pepper. Taste is wheaty, orange, with a little citric bitterness. Finishes slight astringent and bitter with some spices. This cold, it’s not really sweet at all and has a pleasing balance (although it’s a bit overcarbonated). Nothing spectacular, but refreshing and pretty good - good beers are not always complex ( nor the obverse). One of the better "hop-prominent but not as heavy as a tripel" beers I’ve had.

Pours dark gold with a fluffy off-white head. Aromas of citrus and light stone fruit. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is bitter citrus and light malt. Strong flavor. Perhaps a little perfumey. Finishes mildly bitter. Good beer.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear gold, thin white head. Decent Belgian yeast aroma. Bit too over carbonated so the palate is not that great. It’s got some rose petal flavour. Its alright, nothing too interesting, but it’s an ok blond. It’s ok.

15/03 0.75 bottle from beershop.hr, shared with Doggythedog. It poured slightly murky golden body with medium sized head. Some banana yeast in aroma, but also somewhat malty. Quite ordinary, but pleasant and cloying. Flavor was sourish, from fresh hops, but generally sweet, honey malty and fruity from the yeast. A bit watery, thinner bodied. Finish is therefore shorter, but not bad, following the flavor. A good beer, but so typical that was even boring.

0.75l bottle (6.3%, 14 °) from the Croatian Beershop shared with heavy. Poured a hazy golden body with lively carbonation and a big fluffy white head that went away slowly. The nose is malty, soapy with some flowery hop. Pleasant enough. The taste is ok but too light and ordinary. Hop bitterness up front, lemony. some grainy, honeyish maltiness but it’s light. Just a slightly stronger golden ale that happens to be Belgian.
