Beer of the Day Florival Blonde

I grabbed this from a Delhaize near my apartment for about 0.70 Euro. I sampled it while watching the Wimbledon 08 Semifinal between Marat Safin and Roger Federer. Safin is losing badly, with Roger ahead 4 games to 1 in the first set. It doesn't look good for the Russian...anyway the beer pours a bright orange, I mean like Fanta. It has a citrus malt aroma and is slightly acidic on the palatte. Some think this beer is closer to a Tripel, but naaah.

The flavor is a bit non-descript really - I would call it 'unoffensive'. I don't think I would go out of my way to drink this beer, but by Bacchus it is better than 'Rodenbach'. I will post a review of that polarizing brew in the coming weeks.

Hints:

• Florival is a bright orange, bubbly beer. It scores a nearly relevant 3.2 out of 5 on my "Beers that Look Like Fanta" scale. However, because it is an Abbey beer (Biere d' Abbaye'), I give it a mere 2.2 on my "Beers of God" scale.
