I give this one the worst note possible for the look, for one simple good reason : it's the first time ever I see food coloring in a beer ingredients list. It's just a shame. They wanted to make a blonde look like an amber so they put some E150.
The beer itself is overall quite dull and not really balanced. Grainy notes and floral notes doesn't mix very well in this one

I purchased this in Belgiumnat a very good price, poured the 33cl bottoe into a teku, this poursna white head fading pretty quick.
Unlike many ither similar belgians in the style I wasn't ''blown away'' by this. It's a decent offering but for the same price -- maybe less you can get yourself better belgian beers.

Bottle at Au Bon Vieux Temps.
Orange amber, clear, good lacing.
Dry dusty grain, hint of pear, caramel, light spice in the nose.
Lighter bodied, some maltiness, wet, mild hopping, watery fruit, kiss of spice, butter?, dry grassy finish.
Not bad, not exciting at all either. Weak, easy to drink. Good perhaps to pair with a quick sandwich at lunch.

Stella Artois is the brewer of this brew. Let's see what they did with it. Bought the bottle at the Bierloods in Adegem, the place of Vacas. He opende the shop just for us so that we could buy some beers. Best before nov 2010. Oops a bit over date...
Poured in my Struise glass this beer looks very good. Fluid has a tea colour and the head is very nice, millions of little bubbles and four fingers big. Some carbination in the glass, not bad.
Smell is good and inviting. A bit yeasty. Taste is normal, not very much going on in the mouth. Very nice normal beer.

The nose smells of malt and some grains. Body very close to the Bass but the presence of honey cauliflower curry. Close to the Palm but not on this side aromatic hops but with a body richer. Easy to drink, in the tradition of Pale Ale Français. Aftertaste pleasant but no great complexity.
