'[Ezel] “Donkey” is in Flanders a nickname for certain inhabitants or even entire village communities. In fact, for them, “donkey” stands for patience, persistence and self-confidence. So is the “EZEL”, a blond beer of highest quality with a mild flavour but fierce character.
Serve this blonde fresh and enjoy!'

I'm not sure why De Brabandere has two brews with different ABVs and styles using the same name, but what I drank at their taproom was at 6.5% ABV. And it was a nice table ale that I'd be glad to have again with a meal.
Ezel Belgian Blond Looks good with a nice foam and active yeast. Smells are fruity, mostly citrus; although it is now Spring and blossoms would be better. Tastes are balanced well by sufficient hops. Medium-mouthed.
I give very good Overall Hugs to De Brabandere because of their leadership in the BFBA (Belgian Family Brewers Assn) and consistent brewing quality... of which Ezel Blond qualifies.

L- Mid gold, pours clear with quite lively rising CO2 into a 2cm 'whipped' looking pale cream head. Ps at +10mins, the head holds reeeally well.
S- Mild through the foam, possibly some mild Belgian yeasty esters on the first sniff.
T- The foam head is really thick as I sip, unusually so. Though balanced malts into quite a dry trad hops finish. ps at +10mins the malty richness builds as the fridge-chill comes off it.
F- It's dryer/hoppier than I had anticipated, it might be considered a slightly more contemporary spin on the Blond style?
O- It's mostly enjoyable but hoppier than I'd anticipated. Considering the cost it likely not one I'd choose again.
