Superb golden ale from the Maes brewery. Clear gold, strong complex flavours with a dry aftertaste. Not to heavy in body and quite lively. Should suit the British palate well. Best served in it's own glass. 8,5% alc. Serving temperature 16 •c

Judas was launched in 1986 and was originally brewed in Brasserie Union at Jumet, until production moved to Alken in 2007.

330ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is Belgian yeast, floral woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, malt, yeasty, dry, floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. A solid Belgian Blond and up there with the top beers of this style.

Bière 33 cl trouvée chez Leclerc à Fives. Nez typique de bière belge sur la levure, les épices. En bouche, légère amertume plutôt agréable, pain d'épices, sucre candi, alcool bien présent. Pas trop sucrée, équilibrée. Manque de longueur en bouche. Belge forte typique, peu complexe mais pas désagréable, sans doute un peu traître comme l'indique son nom!
