Abbaye-Val~Dieu Blond
Bought as a 3 pack (each with a different color cap) and a very nice glass (see pic!) for $9.00. Bottle is classic three tier in brown glass (11.2oz). I tasted the Blond tonight with talapia.
Pours with a rich puffy white head and color of beer is rick golden color - like brazilian citrine. Does not lace at all when sipped. Definite pear and maybe apricot taste - love the fruit on the palate! Finishes smooth with a hint of an oaky taste that remains after each tasting. This is the real deal Belgium beer and at a modest 6% abv delivers a very respectable session without too much punch. Will be reviewing all 3 from this lot over the next week.
Package: 9.4 (for the layout of case and glass being included- top marks)
Color: 8.2
Taste: 8.5
After Taste: 8.1

Brazilian citrine? I would have said more of a Peruvian amber, with a female mosquito trapped inside.
