Reviewed in "Michael Jackson's Great Beers of Belgium", this awaits my review with another tasting.

Blonde? More like a Blanche!

I wouldn't call it a belgian pale ale. It looks like a witbier, it smells like a witbier and it tastes like a witbier.
Not too bad though, refreshing. A good summer beer

Desperate to come out of the bottle. Nice head in a tulip. Color: Fuzzy yellow. Aroma: Coriander, orange peel, vanilla. Taste: Too much carbonation. Tastes like a light Hoegaarden. Some wood with a bitter alcohol finish. A good beer for summer to drink fast but not something to taste in detail.

A: Pours a cloudy golden orange with a puffy, pillowy white head. Carbonation appears to be relatively active, giving the beer a turbulent appearance.

S: Soft, bready malts, spices, and citrus are present on the nose. Very light and sweet, but quite appealing.

T: Soft and sweet notes of oranges in syrup, lemon zest, apricot, caramel, biscuits, cream, and vanilla. A dab of spice and yeast flavors is subtle, but present. The finish is very gentle with sweet citrus and cream notes.

M: Medium bodied, smooth, and creamy with gentle, unobtrusive carbonation. Very drinkable.

O: This is an excellent Belgian pale ale. Very nice all around.

Poured from 750mL bottle into a tulip.

Appearance: nice golden hue with plenty of effervescence and three fingers of frothy white head. Decent!

Smell: lightly sweet malt with a fair amount of breadiness, graininess and yeastiness. Not bad, but it seems unpolished.

Taste: smooth, slightly sweetish malt flavor with some light fruity character. Not nearly as unfinished as in the aroma. There is a bit of a breadiness at the end but the tone there seems fresher than the aroma. This beer would go very well with a meal -- I like it.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a pretty big, if evanescent, creaminess. Carbonation is good but it just doesn't have enough staying power to be truly remarkable. Good, but not great.

Overall: this is a tasty and fulfilling Belgian pale. It's a bit earthier and breadier than many BPAs I have had, but it works well in its niche.
