Bottle at home. A bit unclear orange color, medium to full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetish a bit, maybe some honey. Don't get much more. Not bad.

Pours clear blonde, white, rather unstable white head. High visual carbonation. Smell is bit herbal hops, rather intense maltyness ( complex, tad sugary, some pale malts ( white bread) mild biscuity ) Mild esthers and phenols. Medium-low intensity overall. Taste is rather bitter at first, fades away to a phenolic, pale maly ( aromatic maltyness ) triple-like profile. very highly carbonated. mild dryness ( some Sugar, some actual dryness from fermentation as well I supose ) Overall, a pretty good, in style Belgian Golden Strong Ale. Bit of a safe style, perhaps, but well made within that very style.

Five-hops and five-grains Belgian blonde, 75 cl bottle shared with Goedele, Jan and Tessa. Tightly membrane-lacing, egg-white; thick and moussy, stable head over a hazy peach blonde beer with olive greenish tinge. Aroma of banana, apricots, powder sugar, meringue, coriander seed, rye bread, green pear, apple peel, grass, baker's yeast and a touch of DMS. Banana-estery sweetish onset, hints of pear and pineapple with a light green apple touch (acetaldehyde); medium carbo, smooth and supple mouthfeel. Soft bready and cereally, bit grainy and soapy (wheaty) body with a dash of sourish-grainy spelt noticeable, leading to a dryish finsih with some phenolic (and coriander) spiciness, bready yeastiness in the end and floral, tad grassy hop bitterishness - but far from the glorification of hops suggested by the label. The Palissade in particular should and could have been much more outspoken in order to lift this beer out of the vast pool of mediocre Belgian blondes - feels like a missed opportunity. Decent enough, but far from exciting.
