On tap at the 10 years fest yesterday, having a good time at Rad van Wageningen and didn't bother to take notes then. Today again enjoying this beer, this time from bottle. Color; Very hazy dark orange, off-white head. Very dense. Nice lacing. Aroma: Hoppy, spicy, subtle citrus. Taste: Very dense mouthfeel, creamy, grassy hop, spicy rye and Kveik yeast, subtle fruity notes of orange, citrus fruit. Refreshing. Over moderate going to medium bitterness, moderate to over moderate sweet. Over medium body, just below average carbonation. Very nice anniversary beer. Liquid hoppy rye bread. Unique, brewed with 85% rye malt, made possible by the Meura filter that Stadsbrouwerij Wageningen owns as one of very few Dutch breweries. Well done! On to the next 10 years, Dennis and Stefan!

Bottle. A BA Blond isn't a beer you see much, so curious how it will taste. Color: Clear golden to orange amber, white head. Aroma: Malty, rum. Taste: Malty, some grain, sweetish and bit boozy rum. Long lasting finish. Just over medium body, just below average carbonation. Subtle citrus fruit and zesty notes. Nice moderate bitter hoppy backbone Rum is lightly overwhelming but not disturbing. Very nice.
