Belgian Brew Factory Boho Organic Blond Beer – Belgian Blond Ale at 4.5% ABV (2019 Craft Beer Advent Calendar #15, 330 ml, best before 11-Jul-2020, acquired 22-Nov-2019, reviewed 16-Dec-2019)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with a huge fluffy white head, excellent retention and chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grass & cereal grains, bready yeast, floral, citrus. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-high carbonation, off-dry short duration clean finish. (4/5)
Boho-ho, Merry Christmas? It’s not exactly seasonal, but it’s definitely keeping with the Belgian theme of the calendar, and reasonably flavourful despite the low ABV, so, sure, why not? Despite the huge head, the body isn’t excessively carbonated, but certainly tends light. Ultimately, it’s very much a Blond, with not a whole lot going on, but no real negatives either. (14/20)
