Bottle, 2024 vintage. Bready malt aroma with notes of pear, spicy Belgian yeast, pepper, clove, grain and banana. Pours clear golden colored with a finger white head that has good retention and lacing. Starts with bready malt, pear, pepper and banana flavors. Finishes dry with grainy malt, spicy Belgian yeast and clove flavors. Excellent Belgian style blond.

Bottle from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours gold with a decent white head. Aroma is light yeast/spice with something suggesting buckwheat. Med body. It's quite dry. Flavor is light yeast/spice with a flavor that's new to me but suggests spelt. Nice flavor.

Bottle to glass. Pours clear, light gold with firm white head that retains well. Grain and Belgian esters on both the aroma and flavor. Really enjoyable.

335mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has dry bready, gentle spicy Belgian yeast, toasted grains, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is basically bone dry, with crisp biscuity malt, toasted grains (somewhat husky), and a light spiciness. Very clean and dry, but not particularly vibrant or memorable; just a solid albeit ordinary blonde ale.
