Dark brown beer, orange highlights, under a medium, cream head, stable. Light roasted notes, faint hops. Nice citrussy, mildly fruity flavours. Medium bodied, quite slick. Nose didn’t present itself as such, but taste delivered bringing it to a pleasing, nice black IPA.

Pours clear blonde, huge white head. Smell is dry, bitter, with a touch of fruityness that makes it really nice. Taste is sharp, bitter, grainy, mild sweet ( fruity ) touch. I do not agree with the deScription ( close your eyes and you taste a saison) since I’m not the biggest saison fan, but I do like this ! Very good dfrinkability, the taste is ideal to drink lots of it. Refreshing as well. I can’t say anything bad about the taste of this one. Body is AVG, But unfortunately, the carbo is extremely high...

Bottled. Same name, yet different label and ABV ( 6,5 on the current botteling I have before me, 6 on RB ) Rating it here, since I imagine this is batch-variation and just a new label. I trust the admins enough for them to notify me if I am wrong here . Pours rather clear, dark blonde to amber. Good white head. Smell is bit sweet, fruity ( apple and peach-notes ) bit yeasty and some malts. Taste is more bitter than anticipated. A metallic sidenote that provides an interesting, and actually quite yummie experience to the beer. malty, in an aromatic way, and a mild hop character (mostly bitter, but contains some of the fruity notes that also gave their presence in the scent ) Aftertaste is rather yeasty, but - unlike many other belgians - balanced. The MF is agreeable ( quite enjoyable for a 6 abv, especially with this intensity of flavor ) and the carbo is high, but agreeable. yeah, Den triest def. went up in my experiences and did not let me down with this ’regular blonde’ - a stryle I am not a big fan of to begin with.
