330 ml bottle. Pours a dull amber with moderate head. Aromas of coriander, earth, lemon wax, fruity Belgian yeast and soft wheaty malts. Thin flavors of same. OK, but not getting anything really hoppy, even for EU hops.
Strange metallic aftertaste, obviously yeasty like most Belgian beers. Could be better.

On tap at Henry VIII Irish Pub in Valkenburg on 3rd November 2025. Light haze to the pale golden body, white crust. Hop front, more subtle than in your face, but there is a hop bite to it. no citrus notes (always a good sign to me).

Bottle, bb 5/26. From Armadale Cellars (small, well-chosen, mainly European selection). Gold with a good cm of dense white head. Lemon pudding aroma with dough, oranges and spices. 6.5+ So it tastes. Sweet at first but a little drying at the moderately but classily bitter spiced end. Not bad at all.

0.33 l bottle from 'Drankgigant.nl', best before June 2026. Hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-floral, slightly grassy aroma of lemon peel, pineapple, gooseberry, light banana and hints of grains. Slightly sweet, gently bitter, rather fruity-floral and gently grassy-spicy taste of grains, straw, lemon peel, pineapple, gooseberry and hints of banana, followed by a short, gently bitter, quite dry finish. Medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice hoppy Blond, very refreshing, highly quaffable.
