26/03/2016 @home - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte. Hazy light yellow with nice white sticky foam. Fruity hops (lemon, citrus, some melon), bitter. Dry bitter ending. Just a tad too bitter for me but nice beer after all.

Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal 2.påskedag: lys gylden med højt skum. Intens aroma av krydder (i særdeleshet pepper), høy, stall, gjær og citrus. Bruser i munnen. Knusktørr med mye pepper i smaken og ettersmaken. Et hint av bitter grapefrukt i tillegg. Stor munnfylde for bare 4%.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 25A, adapted). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 823. AROMA: slight spicy aroma (clove) with citric notes (lemon). Some hop fresh aroma. slight sweet malty background. APPEARANCE: medium gold color and just slightly hazy. small moussy head with low retention. TASTE: light grainy-malty flavour, complemented with faint hop flavour (citric) and mild clove-like phenolic. high bitterness that lingers beyond a dry finish. PALATE: low body with low carbonation. OVERALL: a belgian blond ale a bit on the "session" side.

Apr. ’15. A 0.33 l bottle from Ivana Trgovina shop, Split. It poured hazy yellow body with a huge head, although not a gusher. Very aromatic nose, a lot of coriander, pine and that lightly milky bread, almost biscuit malt. Boldly bitter flavor, grapefruit, pine, plain herbal hops. Medium bodied, but really full for just 4%. Finished bitter, but also a bit acidic with biscuit malt showed up as well. A really bitter bitter, and a good one!

Unclear yellow golden color with a big head that vanish quite fast. Quite rich Belgian yeast in the aroma. Medium body and a bit rich carbonation. Ok acidity and maybe a bit to much bitterness. Semi dry texture. Lots of yeast in this one. Also mild sour, funky, citric and fruity. Nice beer at only 4%.

At Maakun’s. Bottle. Pale golden with big bubbly foamy head. Hoppy, grassy, yeasty, flowery, flower petals, spices. Taste is over moderate bitter with sweet and sour and even salty notes on the side. Body is over medium, texture is medium thick. Carbo is average, smell is outrageous. Delicious fruity sweet/sour/bitter finish. Very nice!

Bottle shared at home. Almost clear golden with enormous fluffy white head. Flowery, citrus hops, lime peel, grassy, light biscuits and a hint of bread, the bread is more bakers yeast than actual dough though I guess. Mostly just fresh citrusy hops. Light sweet and under medium bitter. Light bodied with full carbonation. Nice stuff, would be even better with less carbonation.
