This beer is golden, with a fine and dense foam. Its rich and fruity aromas offer a good balance between malt and yeast. It is soft on the palate with a sweet bitterness, just persistent.

September 2008: from BA. Green 75cl cork and caged bottle, drank two months after its BBD. Poured into four tulip shaped glasses, the first three showed a clear golden Blonde beer with very little head. The last pour produced a cloudier body with a stronger smell and taste (as you would expect). I prefered the last pour! Wheat and dog biscuits came to mind in the aroma, then a more general farmyard grain smell took over. French beers are getting better (the ones I try anyway), this one doesn’t set the world alight, but it does have something about it. I liked the sweet aftertaste and its sour start, it just failed in the body fullness for me, but overall, OK.

0.25l bottle from saveur-biere.com. Hazy golden colour, mid-sized white head. Dusty hops in the nose. Sweet, dusty hops with hints of wet cardboard. Not brilliant.

Clear blond beer, small creamy head with big bubbles, pretty stable, little adhesive. Aroma: sweet malts, little sugary, and is that corn? Some citrus too. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: milk chocolate first, some sweet malts, bit of sugary, lots of ripe fruits (plums). Aftertaste: chocolate, bitter, citrus, sour ending. The chocolate flavours in a blond beer are pretty surprising.

Clear gold beer. Aromatic sweet and sour blonde with some caraway nutyness. Subtle carbonated bite. Fruity citrus undertone of lemon and orange. Sherbetty finish. A little bit different and very tasty.
