De Graal Blond has a light golden colour. Crisp and dry with an easy pale malt character, and a leafy hop presence from start to finish. The finish is mildly bitter and ends clean (since Februari 2002).

33cl bottle. Deep gold/orange colour with thin white head. Lovely intense hop malt aroma. Really nice agressive grapefruit and tangerine with plenty of juicy malt in the mouth. Pleasing hoppy finish with sweet citrus fruit tangerine and mandarin. Really good beer. Hits my taste hot spots

(Bottle 33 cl) Small and reasonably new Belgian brewery. I got this "Blond" from "Belgisk Bryg" in Emdrup. But it wasn’t for sale because of the large flaky sediments of yeast that lies at the bottom and creates doubt whether this beer is "off". As soon as the cap is off this beer fizzes extremely and floats out of the bottle. As far as flavour goes, this is still a delicious, soft blond ale with distinct sweetness and a hint of sourness. But something is definitely wrong.. 210103

The aroma is sweet malty with notes of yeast. The color is a clear beutiful amber, but with lots of chunks of yeast floating around - and it has a beutiful off-white head. The flavor is sweet yeasty with notes of flowers, berries, aroma hops, and oranges. The end is quite hoppy dry and flowery.

Dark golden, even, tickk white head. Sweet, sugar candi, peppery and pumpkin in the nose. Taste rather neutral, underlying sweetness/malt; superficial bitterness but not hops, more vegetable bitter. Again something spicey, even hint of smoked. Mouthfeel quite dry, a bit thin. Spicey bitterness keeps till the end, medium-long. Rather unremarkable, but no real faults. Quite OK for a beginning brewer.
