Kasteel Blond is beautifully balanced with hop bitters and malty aromas. The hints of fruit from the yeast are reminiscent of citrus fruits. The beautiful balance makes the beer mild in the aftertaste and is therefore an excellent thirst-quencher.

33 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 12.03.2011
Aroma has some citrus, apricot and grainy malt. Flavour is slightly sweet with apricot, citron, grainy malt and some grassy notes. Straightforward, feels a bit like lager.

33cl Bottle poured into the correct (lovely) glass on a sun terrace of a bar in Valkenburg, Holland, 23 Oct 2012. The bottle had a BBD of Oct 2013. As the name might suggest to you, the beer is golden blonde in colour, on top sat a full white crown of bubbles. It’s glass helps to make it look special in my eyes. The nose is a bit sweeter and grainer than I like: seemed wheaty and sugary even before the first sip and I wasn’t looking forward to trying it. Luckily it wasn’t as sickly and weak as the aroma first indicated: still had a sweet front, but it calmed down mid-sip and got even a little hop bitter and dry towards the end of each mouth full. Can’t say it was great, but it was OK I suppose: not very well balanced, almost dis-jointed in that the flavours didn’t blend or mix. I’ll not be having another by choice.

33cl bottle, contains antioxidant (ascorbic acid). Dark gold, slightly hazed, fizzy look, small but fine white head with a great lacework. Nose of fruits and amaretto. Fruit tones focus on citrus, with an amaretto-like (almond) spicy note. Cough syrup alcool fuel. Well balanced grassy bitterness, quite acidic, lively carbonation, medium bodied. Dusty finish.

Bottle from The Norwegian Vinmonopolet. A nice golden colour, with a small white head. Slightly spicy aroma, with some herbal hops. Moderate carbonation and bitterness. More sweet and malty flavour.

Quite standard blond color and the smell doesn’t really say much either. But it tastes very good and has a nice body. Good for a blond beer.

Very nice blonde beer. Easy to drink. Nothing about this beer is wrong, but it’s not the best beer either. Nice balance.

Bottle at The Kulminator, Antwerp, Belgie, 19.03.11 I think it was maybe 8-10 yrs old Pours very hazy amber with a medium white head. There is candy bananas on the nose and in the mouth, age has clearly softened this beer, some digestive biscuit, slight zippy zestiness persists, really quite decent despite the ageing.
