33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Burg Bieren, Ermelo. Dutch brewery #490.
Clear dark golden with a white head. Grainy yeasty aroma. Light sweet taste with a sweet finish. Almost no taste at all, I'm sorry to say.
Huge frothy head that lasts. Hops in the nose. Hoppy, even a bit oily flavor. Thin with hints of citrus. Very pleasant ale.
Fruity nose. Hazy pale to medium golden colour, tall frothy white head, gradually receding to a thick layer, heavy lacing. Aroma pale malts, wheat, lemon, yeast, coriander. Taste medium sweet and light bitter, malty, grainy. Semi dry aftertaste, bit dusty, spicy notes, medium body, oily texture, average carbonation, very nice atypical blond.
Bottle @ home. Clear blond color, average to medium sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly yeast, slightly herbs or spices, a light spicy bitterness. Decent body and carbonation. Ok beer but not a golden/blond ale imo. Seems a regular Belgian Blond Ale to me.
Backlog. Tap @ Botermarkt Bierfest. 2003 (version brewed at de Kemphaan). Cloudy blonde color. Aroma’s of grain & malt, fruit, refreshing. Flavor is fairly neutral with a light bitter finish. Not bad
On tap at NHBF. Hazy golden colour, dense white head. Aroma is sweet, flowery, light spicy, hint of toasted malts, not your ordinary blond-aroma. Flavour is light sweet, malty, flowery, light spicy, light hoppy bitter finish, hint of roasted malts. Light to medium bodied. Nice blond ale.

Creamy, white head. Blond body. Good nose of orange, old cheese, malts. Lightly bitter, watery flavour. Lightly bodied. Not very interesting.
