Brewed with respect for the brewing traditions of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, this Vivat Blonde is a “Bière de Garde” beer. This means that it has a longer maturation time than a "classic" beer between brewing and sale. Vivat Blonde is brewed exclusively with pure barley malt and is brewed the old-fashioned way, with skimming of hop flowers carried out by hand and in an open fermentation tank. EBC 13.

Jan 2010: Brown cork and caged 75cl bottle, mine stated 6.3% ABV. Golden and looking like a Belgian Blonde, small white head sat on top. The aroma and taste went hand in hand, hops, barley, sweet toffee and caramel all in about equal quantities. The beer however lacked a killer punch and had a soft underbelly, meaning it had no mouthfeel or presence after the first sip or two, hoped for great things, got a beer that was drinkable but very average.

Medium white head. Yellow body with lots of floaties and light carbonation. Sharpish floral honey aroma with herbal notes. Dry-sweet floral licorice and honey taste with spicy cardamom notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dryish cardamom and flowers aftertaste with papery herbal notes. Delicate, and full of flavour. Nice! (0.33l bottle, beermerchants.com.)

Bottle shared at the Euston Tap. Pours a lightly cloudy, matte yellow with a creamy, white head. Yeast, fruit, candy and bread in the nose. Fairly sweet flavor with bready malts, yeast, musty hops and some light sourness. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Slightly vinous. A touch tart in the finish, with more fruits, yeast and bread. Meh.
