Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: murky orange to slight brown color with two finger white foamy head which tapered off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some banana sweetness; bubblegum, honey, citrusy to floral tones; Belgian yeasty spiciness, light notes of pomme fruits and some caramel malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair spicy to sweet quality; finishes dry with some Belgian spices
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; light smoothness but also the expected "back-of-the-throat" Belgian grabby-like drying sort of tone
Overall: I say a nicely done Belgian strong ale I would return to.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com. Light cloudy gold with small white top. Gooseberry, icing sugar, bready pale malts on the nose. Taste of flora, candy, grape, honey, spice, bold bitterness. Medium bodied, soft to frothy carbonation, semi-drying. An interesting take on the style, a little rough around the edges .but decent flavours.

Spotty white head on an unclear pale golden coloured body. Earthy & bubble gum aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue with a soft cloying back. Herbal, bubble gum, tangy & hoppy tastes with a peppery finish. Very tasty Blond.

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - golden and clear. Thinnoff white head. Nose - lemon and honey. Taste - more honey, almost lozenge. Palate - medium bodied, a touch sweet. Overall - is this supposed to be a strong ale or barley wine. If so, good enough. If its supposed to be a pale ale or IPA,it's too sweet.

Third at the hanging Bat. Golden pour with an adequate foamy white head. Aroma brings Belgian yeast, floral notes, sourdough bread. Taste adds some light fruity notes, plus more of ythe Belgian flavors. Soft and light.
