(bottle, 75cl) Slightly hazy, pale golden colour with a loose foamy white head. Mildly grainy pale malty aroma with hints of juniper and a delicately hoppy touch. Shy bitter flavour with a mildly malty sweetness, medium bodied with a slightly sharp carbonation. Pale malt-character with notes of juniper as well as flowery accents; sweet-bitter and mildly fruity finish with a well-masked level of alcohol. Okay. 12.XII.12

Bouteille(0.75l): Pale greenish golden, hazy, small and stable loose white head, sweet pale malt, juniper and herbal hops in the nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, a bit fizzy; becomes hoppier and more aromatic in the sweet and tart finish. Not superb, but quite good...

33cl bottle @ home. Clear light golden color, full sized, lightly creamy off-white head. Smell malts, yeast, a hint of banana, fruitpeel. Taste malts, yeast, again a hint of banana and lightly some other fruityness, and finally something weird I can’t quite put my finger on. Pretty high carbonated, medium body.

33cl as Wambrechies Blonde. Dorée/orangée, devenant trouble sur la fin, col fin blanc. Arôme donne bien le bouquet agréable de baies de genièvre, note aussi un malt agréable allant vers le biscuité léger. Palais est très agréable sans pour cela être transcendent. Je note un profile doux sur baies de genièvre, je suppose que ce dernier a été rajouté après le brassage? Bref, on retrouve un profile bien belge qui est ici mis en avant par ce rajout de genièvre, sans quoi la bière aurait été d’une triste banalité. En reste un profile de bouche assez doux allant sur le fruité et herbacé laissant une brève note d’amertume. J’ai déjà pu déguster de nombreuses bières avec ces baies, cette version est très appréciable.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm, 11 July 2011) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, spicy nose with flowers, grass, some juniper twigs and something undefined herbal. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of citrus, mild spices and gentle jenever hints coming through towards the finish. Slightly more than medium body, fairly dry, with a grassy bitterness. Nice and well balanced.

750 ml bottle. Barnyardy aroma with grass, dust. Flavors of lemon, cream, juniper, wonderful sweet and tangy fruity taste then dries out nicely. Great stuff. Really fascinating with a creaminess that was quite unusual. Love it.

Golden color, lots of farmyard and hay in the nose. Very dry, honey, hay, earthy, a touch of funk, lemon, honeydew. Lots of dryness. As KyotoLefty says "tastes like lemon meringue pie that is very dry". Very complex. Excellent. Dry finish with touches of lemon.
