Affligem Blond Ale: Review

The Ale

Affligem Blond Ale

6.8% abv.

11.2oz. bottle.

From: Belgium

Affligem is the oldest abbey in Flanders, Belgium.

Nice looking golden color with a fluffy head and some lacing on the glass. Nice summertime tropical like fruits dipped in honey. There is a good grainy and herbal taste with a little peppery spice to give the ale some character. This is no foo foo blond, this blond has it going on. You will want to experience the firm body of flavors this blond has to offer. I am going to give this a 5.5 on my strength scale. I could even go to 6 on the scale.

As you sip this ale think of what you like best.

Is it the honey and fruits?
Is it the grainy and little peppery taste?
Is it the herbal and slight bitter bite?
Then the carbonation seems to swirl them all together.
