Nice orange beer with huge head. Smells hoppy and grassy. Dry and bitter taste, but not too much, with little dust impression. In the end, a really good beer, enjoyable.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Bruges. Rated on 16.07.2010
Aroma has grassy hops, some citrus and apricot. Flavour is rather strong on grassy Belgian hops, some yeasty notes, sweetish malt with toffee and some citrus. These hoppy Belgian ales are just not my thing.

Bottle: Poured a dirty beige color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of dry hoppy notes with a light Belgian style malt backbone. Taste is a solid mix between some hoppy dry herbal notes with some floral notes sustain by a solid Belgian-style malt backbone with limited sweetness. Body is quite full with great bottle conditioning and no apparent alcohol. I really enjoyed this one and I really liked the dry floral and herbal notes coming from the hops.

33 cl. bottle @ cafe In De Blaauwe Hand in Nijmegen. Hazy golden with a very firm white head. Very refined light citussy hop smell. Sweet taste with a lot of hops, it lives up to its name for sure. Bitter hop aftertaste. One of the better Belgian blond ales.

Bottle from Pivotéka u BÃlého lva. Pours with huge white foamy head. Cloudy golden colour, heavy carbonation on first look. Maybe the yeast bottom mixed with the top a little. Aroma malty, caramel, honey, fruity, grain, mild hops. Taste is medium sweet, light tomedium bitter, perfect balance. After adding the bottom of bottle, the aroma is distinguishably yeastier, the taste even little more sweet. Personally, I like it more that way. Very good beer, though once again I can not sense the extra hoppy character that the brewer declares. Harmonic light to medium sweet and bitter finish, very good drinkability given the ABV.
