During my 8 months in Zagreb, I was enjoying the great beer, Karlovačko, trying to avoid Ožujsko, and having a few Pans here and there. Beer selection in Zagreb was limited but local brews were available during my travels throughout the region. In Serbia I became a fan of Lav, in Montenegro it was nikšičko but now, I'm in Brussels for 5 weeks and thoroughly looking forward to sampling the expertise of the Belgian brewers and the variety of beers they have to offer. I'm seeking to experience as many of these beers as possible and chronicle this adventure on this blog. My initial goal was 50 beers, then I realized this meant 10 new beers a week. While I'm sure I could handle this, I'm actually here to work so 25 is a much more reasonable goal :-) Check out the blog for updates from my stay and feel free to leave comments or suggestions about your favorite Belgian beers.

Judas Blonde

This Judas Blonde bottle was picked up at the corner store and enjoyed on a lovely evening at home. It's 8.5% ABV and brewed by Alken-Maes brewer which is one of the large brewers here in Belgium. The aroma was that of a typical blonde, slightly sweet, slightly citrus and the beer feels creamy and full. The flavor is sweet with a hint of hop that makes the beer just slightly bitter. The color appears much like any other golden, filtered beer and sips smoothly from the glass. Overall it's a nice beer that registers high on my drinkability scale. 
The breakdown:
Appearance 5
Aroma 20
Flavor 35
Mouthfeel 9
Overall Impression 17
Total 86
