Bottle, best before Feb, 1st 2011 Blond, pale body. White fizzy head, mostly diminishing, fairly lacing. Hoppy and yeasty aroma (quite alcoholical). Neutral initial flavour, bitter finish. Dry mouthfeel.

Peach-golden beer, light (cold?) haze; white head, some lace. Faint but persistent perfume - one part white candi sugar, a bit of rosewater, and part fruity esters. Surprisingly alcoholic taste, from the beginning. Then quite sweet, nearly syrupy - but not cloying - and fruity both. Dry beer, and lighter mouthfeel than it is - tripel characteristics. This "blonde" has a marked triple-like constitution. Quite good brew, really. And that means that not only the spelling (no more hyphen), not only the label (quite artsy-modern), but also the recipe has been bettered.

[I believe this is the one I had - at ZBF 2004 it was called Ultra Ambree] The color is hazy light brown and it has a fine though collapsing head. The aroma is sweet malty. And the flavor i sweet malty with notes of yeast and coriander. The alcohol runs prickling over the tongue before a dry hoppy end sets in.

A sweet fruity aroma with notes of corn eminates from this beer. The color is hazy yellow and it has a fine though collapsing head. The flavor is sweet malty - too light and simple with a thin body. I'm disappointed in this beer.

An unclear orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is almost nonexistent, but slightly malty. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of coriander and a dry finish. An OK but quite ordinary blonde.

[Draft at ZBF 2004] A clear dark brown beer with a fine disappearing though laziing head. The aroma is sweet roasted with notes of raisins and plums. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and a dry hoppy end.

(draught) Fully hazy amber-red; foxy head, quite lacey. Overpowering onslaught of perfumey "fruitaroma" - or another toiletsoap article. Taste is even worse - melted fruitsweets for overweight American children. Ouch! Sweet - with a citric acid sourness. Less natural, one dies. Sticky mouthfeel, which is tried to be gainsaid by the obligatory coldness at which it is served. Truly horrible. Thank God this one was on the house...

Pale yellow; big white head, not stable. Grassy nose, but also bit of esters, hay, bit of honey, summertrees pollinating. Bit malty taste, specific pale mats, faint grass. Slight liquorice and honey on the palate. Light bodied, slight warming burn - not even really thirstquenching (soif=thirst). As an attempt to brew pils with top fermenting yeast. Not bad, but it tears of in five directions at once, arriving nowhere in the end.

[Draft at ZBF 2004] A brown beer with a fine lazing but disappearing head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty too - but with notes of roasted bread and aroma hops giving way to a bitter dry woody end.

The aroma is slightly sour combined with sweet notes, fruit and cherries (more than strawberries). The color is an unclear light brown and it has a small lazing beige head. The flavor is very sweet berries combined with dry wood and metal. The flavor is a little too sweet - but besides that, this is a really good beer.
