Comments: I wrapped up the evening by finishing off a Brugge Blonde. It was also a great beer. Our dining companion had recently been to Brugge for work and hadn't been to the restaurant in Broad Ripple, but after our experience last night, I'm sure we'll be going back for some mussels and beer sometime soon. He's also inspired us to add Brugge to the list of places to visit. I wasn't too sure after seeing the movie, In Bruges, but after his commentary on the city, it's on the list! The movie, by the way, was pretty darn good - a little more disturbing than I expected, but there are some great lines in the movie.

Comments: I found this beer in a drawer of our beverage fridge. Yeah, we've got a full sized fridge for beverages - jealous? It's about half full of bottled water and the other half consists of beer, G2, and sometimes diet soda. I'm working on drinking the case or so of Miller Lite we've had in there since a party last summer, in order to make more room for good beer.

I'm guessing this bottle is over a year old. I think I got it as a gift in a mixed pack. It's held up surprisingly well. Very carbonated, but also very smooth. It has a bit of a floral aftertaste. I've got no idea how much this beer costs, but if it's on par with some of the others in this style, I'd say give it a whirl.
