De Graal Blond - Brouwerij De Graal

Poured into a tulip glass
This is Belgium blond pale ale

The appearance is a hazy, honey colour with a  thin white head.  Decent carbonation with some lacing

The smell is a little funky; yeasty with some lemons and grapefruit, with hints of lemon.  Maybe some stewed hops and leaves... Can't really smell much else

The taste is better than the smell.  Pale malt gives of a sweet bread flavour and the yeast is evident too.  This moves into a hoppy bitterness with spicy, floral notes and some orange peel.
Finishes sweet & sour with the yeast and lemon / grapefruit

The mouthfeel is a bit thin with barely any astringency.  Medium bodied with moderate carbonation

This is an average Belgium pale ale; nothing really wrong with it, but nothing really of note or special.  Worth a try though if you come across it
70% - Average
