A light yellow beer, a head is quite big and white. Aroma has flowers, fruitness, lemon. Taste has the same flowers and fruitness of citrus, medium bitterness, nicely dry. Medium bodied. Very refreshning. Great beer.

Tap at the brewery. Thin bodied, mostly clean, with a bit phenolic yeasty character. Moderate bitterness, grassy herbal hops character, a bit citrusy, lemony. Easy drinking, good.

(Draught at La Source, Brussels, 22 Oct 2022) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with bread, grain and herbs. Malty, fruity taste with notes of bread, hay, cereal, peaches, yellow plums and a gentle herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Interesting, and quite tasty. Nice one.

23/XII/22 - 33cl can from La Source webshop, shared @ home, BB: 22/III/23 (2022-1763)

Clear pale gold blond beer, small creamy irregular white head, pretty stable, a little adhesive. Aroma: very yeasty, lots of banana, a bit malty, grains, hint of honey. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, pretty bitter, some caramel notes, floral, a bit grassy, some ripe banana. Aftertaste: more malts, grassy, herbal, banana peel, cow fodder, some honey, metallic finish. Very mediocre. Not the regular quality we're used from La Source.

Draft @ La Source.
Couleur paille avec un voile léger - plutôt 'cloudy' pour une bitter mais comme elle se veut aussi 'blonde belge' cela explique peut-être le visuel.
Arôme est sur une approche houblonnée noble - fleurs des champs, fin terreux, frais mentholé (discret), et côté grains concassés en rétro-nasal.
Palais garde une approche plutôt belge au niveau de la levure, note de grains et pointe épicée de la levure ? - étonnant pour le style.
Fini assez sec, houblonné sur le noble vert apportant un côté belgo-anglais, effet un peu herbe fauchée, menthe et groseille verte.
