[2] Review by vanderla from Sydney, Australia who has tried this beer once. (10/19/2006 4:42:07 AM)
"Pours a hazy amber. Nice frothy off-white head, that keeps kicking up when you swirl the glass.
As far as sensory variability goes, this beer kicks a*se. Every time I think I've named a flavour, something else comes along and confuses me.
An initial nose of dry malt extract, that becomes more like liquid malt extract as it progresses. A spicy profile, nutmeg, dried ginger, specialty malts, yeast extract.
Malt & spice. White pepper, star anise & cinnamon, nutmeg & musk candy. Licorice stick. Briney aftertaste, which would pair this nicely with moules et frittes.
As it warms, some caramel fudge, and chocolate licorice.
An aftertaste of floral perfume and hop flower. There is a light bitterness. And in spite of all the confectionary descriptors above, it finish quite dryly
Remarkable beer. And unlike other Belgian blondes, not cloying or heavy. I could drink this all afternoon.

"Reddish amber colour, big foamy head. Aroma of fruits, sourness and hops. Flavour of fruits, hops and sourness. Still kind of (un)pleasantly sweet. This is one of the beers which are not crap, yet I don’t like it too much. Hard to say if it’s very good or bad. "

"A great blonde, one of the best Ive had in this category. If you like the style, there is no reason you wouldn't like this one - a truly fine example of a quality Belgian blonde. "

[5] Review by Skanadian from Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/27/2005 12:05:23 PM)
"Cloudy yellow-orange colour with some decent head, but very good lacing. Some honey in the nose, with hints of orange peel and sourness. Strange mouthfeel - not very pleasing, but the dry finish was decent. Taste was a miss-mash of honey, light malts, hops, orange, dryness and sourness. I expected more taste, not more ingredients! Not a horrible experience by any means, but I don't think I will be trying this one again."
