Heureusement que cette Deseveaux possède un alcool à 6,5% efficace, car sans cela, la base maltée trop dense et sucrée aurait pris l'ascendant, sans nervosité. L'ensemble fonctionne donc correctement avec des arômes appréciables. Le visuel est sur un blond orangé voilé quasiment sans mousse. Le nez présente une alliance miel, zest d'orange et pain qui tient la route. L'attaque laisse découvrir une texture sirupeuse avec des arômes de pain, banane, prune, rhubarbe, miel et zest d'orange avec une très légère acidité. L'alcool prend son essor en deuxième bouche et permet de contrebalancer la base maltée en donnant du caractère. L'arrière bouche est même plus pêchue avec un alcool qui prend les devants. Le final poursuit la seconde bouche avec toujours cette présence appréciable de l'alcool. Corpulence et longueur sont bonne pour leur part pour une bière sauvée par son alcool.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Label: ‘Sarazen Blonde 6.5%’. Pours a hazy golden/amber colour with a thinnish soapy looking white head. Aromas of overripe fruits, stoney fruits and melon. Taste has more overripe and stoney fruits with vinous notes and a touch of peppery spice. Nice sweet note lingering on a dry finish. Medium body, low carbonation and very smooth mouthfeel. Nice one.

Cloudy blond appearance. Aroma and flavour are very malty. Nice texture. Very smooth and easy to drink.

18/03/2017 @home - 33cl bottle from a trade with jerre. Clear blond wirçth big white rocky head. Nose is a bit dusty grainy, light sour touch. Taste is malty, light sour touch, some banana, sweet touch. Easy drinking.

Pours unclear blonde. OK white head. Smell is bit bitter. Taste is bery comparable to the bio, but more hoparoma here. Not bad at all. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sarazen Bio Blonde on 29 Apr 2016 at 10:18 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 9.

Sampled @ ZBF 2016. (Thank you for sharing RB people!) Sampled ater the Bio version which is more even, candy sweet, preferred that one, this one is less hazy, orange, little white. Nose is raw, wort, hay, oily. Taste is thinner, raw, overly heavy esters, weird hay, malt, coriander, grainy,… messy odd bitter dirty hay grainy malts, rawer one, expected it to be the other way around. Doesn’t work too well for me; --- Beer merged from original tick of Sarazen Bio Blonde on 24 Apr 2016 at 11:24 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.

Nose is sweet pear, peach, basic sugar, candy sweet; Taste is sweet candy, sugar, yeast, pear, candy. Easy to drink, low candy, yeast, sugar. Sampled next to the non-Bio version, this one is simpler, more candy sweet but less raw, odd notes, expected it to be the other way around, very sugary but not bad. Prefer this one clearly.
