* Belgian blonde ale
* brewed on May 15, 2014
* during fermentation, a strong, funky smell existed for the first 10 days or so, but it subsided some during the last week.
* bottled on Jun 1, 2014
** produced 9 bottles
** tasted great during bottling
* drank our first two bottles on Jun 14, and it tasted excellent. probably second favorite after the wit. not carbonated well though. maybe it needs more time in the bottle.
