One of the later additions to the Bornem range of authentic abbey beers.
Commercial description:
Bornem Blond is een ‘levend’ abdijbier van 6% volume alcohol dat net als de andere speciaalbieren van de Brouwerij Van Steenberge nagist op fles of op vat. Dit bier van hoge gisting wordt gebrouwen met zorgvuldig geselecteerde moutsoorten die een heel zacht en fruitig aroma geven. De licht bittere afdronk is te danken aan de nauwkeurig uitgekozen hopvariëteiten. Hierdoor zal u een aparte verfrissende smaak ervaren. Bornem is een erkend abdijbier. Slechts een kleine helft van de abdijbieren in België is erkend. Het bier wordt gebrouwen in opdracht van de Sint-Bernardusabdij te Bornem.

330 ml bottle. Pours amber with full head. Aromas of leather, spicy phenols, a bit of sulphur, lemon, coriander and sharp toasted malts. Flavors of plastic phenolics, spice, lemon, a bit of coriander and cereal like malts. Not a top Belgian IMHO but easy to drink when well chilled.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a medium off-white bead. Aroma reveals lots of doughy malt, spicy Belgian yeast, a little coriander, and bready malt. Flavour is gently spicy, with tons of doughy malt, bready malt, a hint of coriander spice, and low residual sweetness. Carbonation is standard for a Belgian. Not the most complex Belgian ale, but there's a decent yeast expression and the balance is fine. Pleasant.

Bottle from Lidl, Inverurie. It pours clear blonde with a handsome frothy white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, white bread, twist of citrus, pear drops, ripe melon, icing sugar, sherbet, some warming spice, clove rock, cereal and hay. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, firm, snap of bitterness, light acidity, lemon - lime, estery fruits, pear, apple, melon, sweet white bread, rich tea biscuits, cracker, cereal and a nip of booze with a dry, sharp finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice sharpness/freshness to it. Not one of those sweet blonde ales. Moreish.
