Bottle. Unclear, amber body with a huge, dense tan head. Not much aroma here, weak malt and yeast. Flavor is sweetish malt, dry fruit and a slightly touch of spices, low bitterness. Fine balanced body, medium aftertaste that ends quite sweet. Not very impressive but drinkable.

Bottle. Unclear golden body with a huge off-white head. Nice fruity aroma with a spicy touch. Medium strong aroma, but a bit unusual and quite interesting if giving some time sniffing before tasting. Flavor is even better, with the kind of fresh fruit, spicy yeast and some ripe fruit towards the end. Fine balanced body and long lasting, complex aftertaste. Delicate, rustic and highly enjoyable.

Bottle. Dark brown body with a small, dense, lacing beige head. Quite light in aroma, some mild coffee and medium roasted malt. Flavor is smooth, perhaps a bit too smooth, almost a bit anonymous – mild roasted malt, light chocolate, mild coffee, low bitterness. Medium to thin bodied and a bit short in aftertaste.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a dense white head. Decent aroma of fruity yeast and smells a bit like a Saison. Flavor is light, soft pale malt, fruity and balanced bitter. Not very typical Blonde really, but quite nice and easy session beer.

Bottle courtesy of Rune. Deeper hazy golden with a bubbly head. Hoppy, citrus, yeasts in a very tasty combination. Possibly a tad over-carbonated.
