The first-rate raw materials constitute the riches of this blonde high-fermentation beer. Alc. 6.7 % vol.
Flavour: Ochre-coloured abbey beer, light fruit, good balance between sweet and bitter and a full, rounded flavour.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by porterhouse from Oklahoma City, OK, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/31/2008 4:29:15 PM)
"This is way too fruity for me. Upon opening, it smells of a little Belgian yeast. It pours like a Belgian, but the similarities end there. The taste is of sour fruit. If you like Lambics (which I don't) then this is the beer for you. No Belgian bite here. I could say that the mouthfeel is a little Belgian, but that would be giving too much credit. You may like this blonde, but I sure don't."

[2] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer many times. (5/11/2008 7:35:12 PM)
"Enjoyed most of the six pack throughout this past weekend, I find this to be a nice easy going Belgian Blonde. Nothing spectacular, but very satisfying and makes for a great transition brew. Sparkling, clear golden-yellow pour with a large white top and blanketing lacing. Small bubbles of steady carbonation. Sweet, musty fruits and a minimal earthy yeastiness are contained in the gentle aroma. Light bodied and airy with a sharp quenching ability. Fresh fruity flavors, mild malts and some faint spicy hop characteristics. Yeasty along with a faint metallic flavor (also evident in their Dubbel that had been previously rated). After sampling a few this beer has finally grown on me, it's rather nice and simple for it's style and that's what makes it work."

[3] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/26/2008 7:38:48 PM)
"I grabbed this one as an afterthought but it ended up being an enjoyable beer. Clear light orange color with a nice off-white head that did taper down pretty quickly. Some lacing sticks. Aroma is of citrus fruits and some yeast but faint. Pretty easy drinking beer here with some of the lighter fruits coming to mind, orange, mango, banana. Sweet malts, actually the whole thing is a touch too sweet but good. Compared to the Affligem Blonde this was a little sweeter with a touch fuller mouthfeel but still a bit of a bland finish with a very faint sour almost metallic aftertaste. Good beer but not a great one. "

"Golden pour with decent head and lacing. Aroma of light fruits. The flavor was light fruit, a good level of spiciness and a touch of funk. A pretty well balanced brew. "

"Mighty tastey brew, pours a slightly hazey orange-yellow colour with a quite large fluffy head that sticks around for a logn time. very pleasent in taste as well with peace and apricot flavors. Overall, sweet with a supple finish, a modest 6% abv."
