I suppose this is mean to be the Belgian Blonde.
Pours a slightly cloudy honey colour, with a moderate amount of carbonation - in fact it looks like I poured a glass of fizzy honey. Small white head that fades to a thin lacing.
Fist Sip: Quite a lot of lemony citrus up front, with a faint, long-lasting hops. Malt is trying to get through but it is largly hidden by the citrus flavours. Mouth-feel is smooth and quite dry, with a carbonation tingle on the tongue.
I dunno. I want to like this a lot, but it is... ok. Nice, but not excellent. I think I was expecting more. I could drink this in a BBQ session but it won't be one I would specially seek out. On the other hand, I would never refuse a glass or four if it is offered.

Wow. It *does* go well with a strong cheddar! I could drink/eat this combination for quite a while.
