Pours rather clear blonde, but looks unfiltered ( the way it should be ! ) . Good white head, but not super-stable. Smell is bit sharp, mild yeast and some malt tones. Taste is bit bitter, very yeasty ( the overripe fruits ) . Malts are very in the back. Appart from the bitterness , no hoppy characteristics are to be found. Some sweet sidenote. Overall, I’d say this is too yeasty to be in that tight spot of pure balance, yet too safe to be really rememorable. An OK beer, but nothing more. The sweetness in this is mild

(Bottle,0.33 l, at Tuulensuu, 20150307) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, spiciness, honey and yeast. Palate was medium bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, yeast, honey, sugary sweetness, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was yeasty, sweet and bitter. A decent brew with Belgian style yeast.

Bottle @ home. Hazy orange - golden color, medium sized white to off-white head. Aroma is lightly malts, yeast, a hint of citrus. Taste lightly malts, yeasty, slightly sweet but also a bit bitter. A hint of orangepeel. Average to medium body, medium to full carbonation. Nothing really wrong with it, but it’s one of so many average to decent Belgian Strong Blond beers.

Blond colour, white head. Aroma of chewing gum, yeast, citrus, banana and wood glue. Malty flavour, banana. Finish banana, malts and straw. Not my favourite.

Bottle sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Dorée, col blanc. Bière au parfum légèrement doré sur une levure prenant un peu le dessus avec un bouquet prononcé de froment Palais est prononcé sur le côté grains; blé qui donne une certaine épaisseur. Le tout est accompagné par un citronné moyen-houblon, reste très belge et (surtout pour 8%) légère avec en fin de bouche, le grains qui vient un peu changer d’une blonde on ne peu plus belge.

Medium, stable white head over hazed golden-orangeish beer. Soapy, bit of malts, faintly herbal and spicy nose. Faint restsweetness, tastes quite as a wheatale. Sweetness is reminding me of a certain type of childrens’ sweet. Feels very spritzy, highly carbonated, medium bodied, quite slick. Is this a wheatbeer? Can’t make out what the intention might have been, and sample tastes a tad young.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2013. Hazy golden with a white head. Smell is sweet wheat (is this a wheat beer?), light spices and herbs, light banana touches, light fruity, white sugar. Taste is sweet wheat, lightly fruity, insinuation of banana, light spices, white sugar, fruity, inkling of grass. Light, almost touch watery. I can live with his but it is certainly not a revelation.
