Light misty and golden blonde in the glass with a taste of soft hops and slightly sweet grains and soft foam

Purchased at DekaMarkt, sitting on the couch

Poured from a bottle fresh at the brewery. Label says it's a Belgian blond ale made with US hops (not sure if the recipe has changed over the years).

It has the citrus/tropical fruit tones of a US IPA but with the noble bitterness and bready malt and Belgian yeast character of the local style. Good balance of malt sweetness and hop flavors. Very nice!

Unique and definitely glad I tried it, worth a try when it's seasonal.

Superb taste. Lemon to grapefruit notes. Smell nothing spectacular.
Wonderful craft beer taste without anything to criticize.
Nice hops. Very good choice from the tap.

Look: clear, warm yellow. Not really remarkable but pleasant all the same.
Smell: bread, fruit, some spice (probably the coriander they refer to).
Taste: a surprising balance between bready/malty sweetness and hops. I'm not the biggest fan of these hopped Belgian ales, either they are too sweet or sweetness and bitterness don't blend and you feel a sort of "conflict" in your mouth. Here they've achieved the quadrature of the circle it seems.
Feel: Good. Clean enough not to saturate but with some body.
Overall: pleasantly surprised. Not stunning, but will repeat.

33cl bottle. Pours a briight yellow, with a white head. Smells sweet, like a Belgian ale, candi sugar, caramel, yeast, bread. The taste follows the same notes (I wonder where the "usa hopped" notes are), very nicely balanced, not too sweet for a Belgian pale ale.

Not sure how to classify this one: smells like an American IPA (Amarillo and Cascade are used), but (after)taste is more like a Belgian Blond. All in all a very nice and refreshing beer appropriate for the spring time. I would gladly drink another.
