(Bottle) Hazy golden colour with lasting, frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with white bread, lemon, hay, a touch of honey and cereal. Malty, fruity taste with notes of white bread, peaches, honey, hay, citrus, cereal and a mild spicy bitterness. Medium body, with just a touch of sweetness. Mainly grain, hay and some lemon. Apparently lacking some malt character, but decently drinkable.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance was a glazed over pale golden to yellow color with a slight transparency all about allowing a fair amount of carbonation to be seen rising.
The smell seemed to have an almost overly cooked corn to it. A light weird grainy / grassy heavy sort of kick of wheat came out a bit.
The taste was moderately grassy and somewhat grainy - sweet but an almost overly cooked to almost come across as bland.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a sessionability that wanted to show its face but something from the taste makes it somewhat hard to put down.
Overall, I’m not exactly sure what happened with this one but I can’t see for any reason why I would really want to try this again.

33cl bottle, labeled Green’s original blond ale. BBE 06/2018. From Systembolaget. Pours hazy golden with a huge, frothy white head. Nicely dry, with orange peel, spicy notes, pear in aroma. Flavor has fermened sweet fruits, belgian yeast, spicy notes. Alcohol is coming through a little. More dry than sweet finish. Quite nice as it is, but feels raw, think I’d like this even better when a little older. Too straightforward now.

Flaska från SB. En stiltypisk och kryddig belgisk blonde som får bonuspoäng för att lyckas vara en alldeles utmärkt glutenfri öl. Lätt kropp och drickvänlighet utan att tumma på smaken. Mycket jäst och örtig kryddighet, citrusfrisk, vetekaraktär och jästig beska. Riktigt trevlig.
