33 cl bottle @ Venlo.
Rated on 20101002.
Pours brown color with small head. Aroma of caramel malts, sugar, ripe fruits and yeast. Flavor of yeast, malts, caramel, toffee notes and some alcohol at the end.

Bottle. Pours a deep gold colour with a thin white head, malty aroma and loads of alchol, the taste is thin and watery with hint of pear with a dry bitter finish.

Bottle: Small off white head, that disappears quick into a lacing, on top of a clear orange colored beer. Smell is dominated by malts, with some hints of fruits, nuts, sweets and yeast. Taste is a mix of malts, spices, hops, yeast, bitter Malty bitter aftertaste. Low carbo, soft tingly mouthfeel, low to medium body and a light creamy texture.

Apart from being rather watery there is a boring and unbalanced alcoholic taste. In my opinion an insult to Belgian Ale and the craftsmanship which is normally involved in it’s production. An overall very flat beer-expierence.

Wässriger Antrunk, minimal getreidig, etwas honigartig süß. Im Mittelteil nur noch getreidig, allerdings eher an ein alkoholfreies Aroma angelegt als an ein würziges. Nach und nach etwas alkoholischer, aber selbst das peppt das Bier in keinster Weise auf. Lasch wässriger Nachgeschmack mit leichtem Malzhauch. Test vom 29.10.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,5,6,5,7,6 - 6,05

Bottle thanks to Deanso. Pours golden amber, medium off white head with low retention. Aroma is caramel and malt. Flavour is sweet with fruit, yeast and caramel. Finish is a warm alcohol. Ok beer

Bottle, 25cl. Pours clear golden, with a decent lasting foam. Not exciting but ok.

Poured in my trusty NB snifter/wine-type glass. Golden amber with a small white head that does not last but a few seconds. No lacing. Looks decent minus the poor head retention. Starts off with malty and caramel aromas, finished up with cara aromas. Little bit of hops seems to be there, but this thing may be screwing with me. Sweet, but not too sweet. Although it starts getting to be too sweet at the end. Little bit of artificial taste, but not overpowering, but still distracting. Almost thin, but not quite. A little more viscosity might save this one, but that’s asking way too much. Leaves a weird aspartame taste in the mouth. Not too drinkable. But for 2.50 euros a sixer it’s better than Bud Light.

Bouteille de 25cl- Mousse moyennement épaisse et de tenue moyenne. Couleur blonde très claire. Au nez et en bouche, elle se rapproche davantage d’une lager améliorée que d’une bière estampillée "abbaye belge". Pas beaucoup de personnalité mais le rapport qualité/prix reste cependant correct. Trouvée à Lidl Hénin Beaumont.
