Ruiselede, Belgium

Draft: Blonde with a medium white head, sweet, yeasty nose with a fair amount of hops as well, flavor is similar, sweet, sugary, yeasty, with a floral/hoppy finish.

11.2-oz bottle Phillipe’s Lafayette, LA - Aroma: grainy (husk-like), black peeper, lemon, floral; Appearance: clear, golden color, white head, laces; Flavor:sweet, salty, bitter; Mouthfeel: full bodied, thick texture, average carbonation; Overall: very nice hoppy, fruity, spicy, and strong belgian beer with a refreshingly dry finish. However, I wish more of a distinct hop character.

Bottle, 33 cl. Blonde, light orange hazy beer in a beautifull glass and a huge white head, nice lacing. Smell of hops, but also grainy (a bit like the Tripel Karmeliet), light spicy with some sweetness included Taste is hoppy, spicy, herbal, grainy and has a surprising full mouthfeel for a hoppy beer. At the end an enjoyable warming alcohol aftertaste comes into your mouth ending with a bitter finish eventually. At first just a nice beer to drink all the way, but the further you drink the more special the beer becomes.

Bottle. A - Light golden with an orange tint color. Large white foamy head with average retention. Decent lacing left over. S - Good amount of citrus and topical fruit hop smells come out. A little bit of pine and grass as well as some pale malt. T - A faint subtle taste of pale malt starts the sip. This doesn’t last long though and gives way to a plethora of hop flavors. They intermingle and change with every sip. Plenty of orange and some grapefruit and lemon, along with a bit of pine and grassy flavors. Also a good amount of tropical and golden fruit fades in and out. These fruit flavors consist of pineapple, mango, a bit of apricot, and peach and these fruits have a slight candied taste to them as well. Finish with a bit of spicy and a slight alcohol warming as well as Belgian yeast. M - Medium body with higher than average carbonation. Fairly creamy and drying finish. D - Good drinkability. Hop flavors dominant but they don’t kill the palate, also not incredibly bitter. Pretty creamy and goes down easy. Refreshing, but ABV is a little high to drink too many. Notes: Really nice beer that taste somewhat like a mix between an American IPA with West Coast hop flavors and a Belgian IPA/Tripel. Lots of good hoppy flavors with lots of fruity hops and some pine.

03/03 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden, slightly hazy body with bigger head that was ivory colored. Fine hoppy aroma, orange, possibly cascade, some herbs and some biscuity malt. Of course, it has bitterish flavor, hop bite is equal to those in its nose, some vanilla and biscuit malts are hiding beneath. Very refreshing, medium bodied with long bitterish herbal finish. Alcohol is well hidden, but still slightly felt in the flavor and especially in the finish. Its style fits better under IPA or APA, but it’s a nice and enjoyable beer anyway.

Bottle from beershop.hr, shared with heavy.
Poured a hazy orange/golden boy with a big white head that went away at a medium pace. The nose is aromatic hops drowned in a sea of malt, pollen, elder and orange. And maybe alcohol. Very bitter hoppy taste battling with the alcohol presence and honey. Some orange. Dry. Something there but the alcohol and the unpleasant bitterness ruin everything. Light but crude bitter hop aftertaste. These Urthels aren’t doing much for me so far.

Bottle from Bert’s Bierhuis. Pours a hazy yellow beer with a big white head. Sweet and hoppy taste. Strong taste of alcohol. A nice and warming beer.

750 ml bottle from Vinmonopolet. Pours murky orange with a huge creamy white head.Belgian yeasty aroma, hops and flowers as well. Taste is medium sweet with a hoppy touch, pine and resin. Ends with a alcoholic bite before the dry hops lingers on for ever. Nice drink in front of the fireplace.
