Friday night is here and it is time for some new beers! The first review for the night is Quintine Blonde from Brasserie Ellezelloise brewery in Belgium.
We purchased this beer in Belgium while on our beer quest at the recommendation of a wonderful gentleman named Nasser who runs the store Beer Mania in Brussels.
As you can see the bottle comes with a cool little flip top. Quintine is pronounced like the English word, "canteen."
This is a belgian style blonde ale with a ABV of 8.0%.
- Apperance - Hazy golden yellow with a creamy white head about 1-2 fingers deep. Good lacing all around the glass. Lots of sediment floating in this one.
- Smell - Citrus, apples and yeast. Sweet yet tart smelling with a good amount of alcohol.
- Taste - Yeast flavors are right up front with some hints of apple and citrus. The finish is very hoppy but not overpowering. The alcohol comes through strong in the end and warms the mouth.
- Mouthfeel - Good amount of carbonation with a nice crisp feel.
- Drinkability - If you are in the mood for a hoppy beer with a good crisp refreshing feel this beer is for you. I could drink this one alot on a nice warm summer day.
- Serving type: bottle poured into a trappist goblet.
- Rating = A-
Cheers!
