Surfacing apple-spiced butterscotch tingle heightens creamy caramel-toffee sweetness reinforcing barley-dried wheat germ bottom (after carbolic foam subsides). Leafy earthiness lingers below, increasing divergent pepper-hopped bittering.

Founded in 1121, Lefebvre’s Belgian brewery is quite possibly the oldest in the world. Puffy head and cloudy amber complexion greet this moderate-bodied ale. Though thick foamy carbonation takes away from sweet apple-peach subtleties, its stimulating malted cereal grain finish reinforces barley-wheat graining.

Lively bubbly-foamed farmhouse-brewed blondie brings effervescent orange zest and tangy tangerine-apricot ripeness to vanilla Creamsickle theme. Nectarine illusions continually sweeten its already steady citric promise.

“Golden spelt” flouring and mild hop-spiced bittering caress dried banana frontage of Belgian-styled pale ale. Clove-backed floral accent gains affluence. Whimsy wheat wafer sweetness dangles from moderate-bodied interior.

Floral dandelion-lavender-sunflower waft descends to musty earthen lemongrass dankness, bringing mildewed distraction to perfume-y citric-hopped rigidity. Weary barley-oats graining becomes diacetyl.

Flowery aromatic hops, dry honey-malted wheat, and gentle clove spicing give butterscotch-fronted, ginger ale-textured blonde (from a 13th century recipe) its gentle white wine appeal. Wavering orange-bruised tangerine tang and silken banana-breaded vanilla whim stung by phenol coarsening. Well carbonated and lightly fruited but nothing extraordinary.

Resilient strong blonde drapes bitter-grained hop sharpness atop delicate citrus perk to astringent straw wheat backbone. A feisty li’l sucker punctuated by sinewy pale malt heft.

Polite light-bodied golden-hazed blonde renders mild citrus zest and toasted barley restraint over dried wheat chaff. Lingered lemony resonation turns astringent by fading yellow-fruited finish.

Tiny black yeast dots earthen wood-smoked grains consuming straw-hued silky-laced 8%-alcohol medium body. Yellow grape nuance closer to sour white wine than blonde beer, but weird mint-sage-lemongrass herbage, grassy vegetal notion, and phenol clove spicing upset wavered tangerine-quince tang.

Rangy 8% alcohol strength, acidic medicinal whir, and candied butterscotch twist aid initial citric-herbal pungency of glowingly turbid re-fermented summery blonde. Settling hop-spiced bitterness allows peach-grapefruit-lemon-apricot tang to inform white-peppered rosebud-coriander-allspice illusions.

‘Vroom!’ states the label, but void blonde never gets out of low gear. Mired by meager wildflower honey souring and inaudible yellow fruit adjuncts, its grassy earthiness becomes grimy, interfering with ancillary floral accents.

Lackluster straw-clouded dry-bodied wheat ale brings peppered citric hop spicing to faint banana-clove meadow. Mild white bread-like yeast provokes mildewed lemongrass souring countering wafted creamed corn sweetness. Fine for plowing by the poolside.
