sayravai (3720), Helsinki, Finland Dec 5, 2004 (Bottled, BBE 2004) Very muddy yellow-light orange color with a smallish head. Some cardboard and peppery spiciness in the hoppy aroma. Very spicy, witbier-like flavor with blood and cardboard. Medium-bodied, slightly foamy-carbonated, but soft palate. A very interesting brew, to say at least. A fresher bottle could be even nicer... schuimkroaat (391), Leuven, Belgium Nov 15, 2004 Bottled, bbe 2004. Nice golden colour, nicely combined aroma of Blanche des Honnelles and flavour of Tripel Karmeliet (although both a bit diluted). A nice beer. hopdog (5525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 15, 2004 Poured a hazy, darker amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of yeast, breads, spices, and fruity smells. Starts of sweet with kinda of a sour and spicy finish. Peppery. Watery body. Overall a decent Belgian Ale. Hansen (2235), Randers, Denmark Oct 8, 2004 Dark orange colour, medium head. Lots of flagelates in this brew, looks spooky. Hard to rate, taste good and has some badness. I think the overdose of hops/bitternes is confusing me. pivo (2535), Germany Sep 26, 2004 I’m a fan of this brewer and this was consistent with their fine brews. Wonderful pleasant and not overpowering dusty, yeasty nose. Clear deep gold color and foamy head. Smooth, creamy malt with an orange background - coriander. Grassy tones and texture witha drying hop bitterness - what I generall like in a beer. Wanted some more malt body or even fruit taste up front to counter this, but I’ll take it. Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Sep 9, 2004 Sampled in celebration of my summitting the 3900m Ala-Kol pass. Hazy dull tan colour. Sweaty, bready aroma with lemon, lime and bubblegum. Palate is slightly watery, quite yeasty with lemon, banana, perfume. Straightforward Belgian session ale - perhaps a bit too yeasty for my tastes. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany Sep 7, 2004 Belgianbeerweekend, Brussels 2004: Golden color, small head, leaving laces on the glass. Sour nose with fruity incling. Metallic pine taste with a nice hppy finish. diabel (1366), Aarschot, Belgium Sep 5, 2004 At Belgianbeerweekend, Brussels Creamy, off-white large head. Excellent lace. Murky, orange body. Moderately bitter initial flavour, but what a heavlily bitter finish. I like it. Medium bodied and an average carbonation.
