Superb golden ale from the Maes brewery. Clear gold, strong complex flavours with a dry aftertaste. Not to heavy in body and quite lively. Should suit the British palate well. Best served in it's own glass. 8,5% alc. Serving temperature 16 •c

Judas was launched in 1986 and was originally brewed in Brasserie Union at Jumet, until production moved to Alken in 2007.

@home poured into a tulip glass. Yeasty nose. Slightly unclear deep golden colour, tall creamy white head, slowly and unevenly diminishing, some lacing. Aroma sweet malt, yeast, banana, light spices, some honey, hay. Taste light light heavy sweet, light bitter, malty, grain, yeast, alcohol notes. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbontion, more bitterness in the sweet aftertaste, smooth and a bit prickly mouthfeel, bit peppery on the tongue, alcohol well-hidden, too sweet for the style but quite nice, easy drinking.

330ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is Belgian yeast, floral woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, malt, yeasty, dry, floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. A solid Belgian Blond and up there with the top beers of this style.

At Eetcafé Twilight, Ghent. Pours clear dark golden with a small, foamy, off-white head. The aroma contains esters, banana, some bubblegum, some sugars & iron, hops & spices, alcohol. It tastes medium fruit/sugary sweet and light hoppy/spicy bitter; the finish is slightly dry and spicy. Medium, almost full, body, oily/slick texture, soft carbonation (surprising). Overall sweet and alcoholic, nowhere near the better Belgian Strong Ales, but I could see myself having this again with a meal..
