Bottled. Beer Circus, Brussels. Cloudy amber colour. Average-sized head. Fruity, berry-ish aroma with candisugar. Sweet, malty flavour with candisugar and spices.

Bottle @ Chris_o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
[thanks to Harrisoni, for bringing this back from Belgium]
Pours hazy, pale brown with a small, creamy, off-white head. Sweet aroma, very pleasantly spiced, good yeast and strawberries. Good, creamy mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, light coriander and strawberries. Quite nice.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Gold/amber with some floaters and big rocky head. Some spice, some syrup, some toffee. Quite an unsubtle syrupy spicy beer, with some jammy syrupy malt/alcohol. Just too syrupy really. Bit disappointing as I liked this brewery at ZBF 08. Not great.
