Anker Blonde is brewed artisnally with the best natural ingredients by the established Anker Brewery since 1369. This top fermented lager is very refreshing thanks to its balance between pale malt and refined hops. Tastes quite fresh at 6° - 8° C.

Bottle at fantastic Greek restaurant and this bottle labeled Athos, so I’m disappointed not actually a Greek beer. Pours yellow with white head. Nose of grains and lemon. Tastes of bitter lemon peel, grainy, Some yeast, and floral. More like a pale lager than ale.

(Bottle, 0.75 l, at Gastropub Tuulensuu, 20130810) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness and honey. Palate was quite light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, malts, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. A weak brew for a Het Anker one but still not a bad beer.

75cl bottle at home, from beerplanet. As Athos. jaargang 2011 tasted 2012. Cork popped off with a little help and almost hit the ceiling, but not a gusher. clear yellow, large white head.very mild and faint aroma, what i get is a little fruits and perhaps something resembling a milky touch. flavor is slightly spicy bitter belgian yeasty, dry, faint notes of dry european hops, towards the end the hops become much more prominent and they give the beer good character, distinctly european. malts and yeast add a ubtle sweetness combined with a subtle fruity note. faint spicy too. A mild yet pretty dry and tasty belgian.
