Poured into a goblet style glass, this organic Belgian blonde appears more like a gold/amber ale. It is immediately obvious this beer is unfiltered as it is not only cloudy, but has quite a lot of sediment floating around. This should not be a point for concern as the beer undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and this sediment enhances the flavour and in no way is bad for the beer; like those large brewing companies would like you to believe for some strange reason. Anyway, topping off this beer is a voluptuous lumpy froth.
Orange/citrus and sweet malt aromas hover around as a small dollop of the creamy head slides down the glass screaming "why aren't you drinking me yet!"
Malt sweetness fills the mouth with a few sneaky visits from your old friend mandarin. A Royal lingering bitter aftertaste hangs around until all the other guests have left the party in your mouth.
This lovely beer quenches a thirst that can be attained from a warm morning of walking through any historic town. Perfectly matched with a pork lunch, outdoors, cast iron seating, old stone building covered in vines.
