Bottle. Blonde, hazy. Soft pear and citrusaroma. Fruity (pear, citrus), soft alcoholic flavor. Some floral notes in the finish. Pleasant blonde ale.

De Vlier’s first, since 2008. Snow white, creamy head, pale golden blonde colour with greenish hue, clear. Aroma of apple, vanilla, lemon peel, white bread, young cheese. Soft apple-like onset with subtle citrus for refreshing effect, quite strong carbonation, cheesy and light malty, honey touch, light floral hops in the finish. Elegant session beer.

Very pale blond colour. Light citrus in the aroma. Very weak flavour. A bit grassy, some yeast. Rather bland.

75cl at WWT III. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of pale malts, light floral, a bit sweet. Flavour is sweet, fruity, banana, yeast, light bitter alcoholic finish. Light-bodied. Standard Belgian ale imo, Golden ales don’t use Belgian yeast afaik.

Bottle at WWT3. Poured a cloudy light straw with a frothy white head. The aroma is weak yeast and malt. The flavour is weak bitter with a little malt on the watery palate. Not much else really. Not a classic, but not the worst blond either.
