This lovelly beer was bought at 'Boozers', a warehouse just off the motorway near Calais. At 1.89 Euro's for a corked, caged brown 75cl bottle, I wish I had filled my car boot with it.
Lot 1 of 02/06, best before April 08.
This is one of the best non-British beers I have ever had.
It is really a 'Blonde des Flandres' according to the bottle, but it is an 'ambre blonde' more than a 'blonde blonde' if you catch my drift.
I poured it into two Duvel glasses, the second glass getting the sediment, so I could compare each against the other.
Strong aroma of yeast from both glasses, cloudy and amber in colour, the second glass obviously darker because of the sediment. Malt and hops also appeared within the aroma, all very pleasant.
The large white/off-white head stayed throughout the session, the Duvel glasses help of course, but I think the head had a good retension anyway.
The taste was super, a yeasty, vanilla, cum malty hop flavbour all combined to give a fantastic mouthfeel and drinkability.
If I ever come across this beer again, I shall go 'Bansi' on it.
The only poor score from me is the cloudyness, I know it doesn't matter really, but my eye's tell me so much about life, and a cloudy beer has, for my eyes always flaged 'bad beer', it's a British cask ale thing!
