Now.. This is supposed to be the “original” blonde strong ale.. and Westmalle was very easily found in nearly every pub I went to in Brussels. Having said that I prefer the Westmalle Dubbel more.. mmm.. why? There seem to a tinge of spice in the body which I did not really like (maybe it was the crushed pepper of my chicken) but I just didn’t like the distinct flavour of its body.
Otherwise, completely drinkable Not too gas-sy, had a good texture.. just me personally no likey
plus I am writing these review 3 days after drinking it.. so .. the beer was fresh but my memory not.
