beastiefan2k (1055), Hicksville, New York, USA Jun 3, 2008 As TBone says "I suppose that this the right one even it doesn’t mention "Cuvée Speciale": it is 6.5% and contains: "water, pilsmout, tarwemout, hop (challenger en ek goldings), korrelgist lesaffre T58"."
Pours out beautifully with a humongous head, especially with the Alvinne glass. A thick golden color with some slightly visible carbonation. Aroma is as usual for Alvinne, yeast gone wild, this is in the form of milky-pineapple with an airy Belgian feel and sweet candy. Taste is nicely different with the pilsner malt coming through and the esters are died down just a tad. Sweet finish but the strong carbonation chases away any negativity from that. My only complaint is that house yeastiness is so prevalent in all there beers that it is becoming a bit boring. Also, since when is a mistake beer become a "Speciale" beer, its like trading cards. 33cL bottle @ Bierbrasserie Cambrinus, BB 03/2009, in a large Alvinne tulip on 5/19/08. Jerre (1268), Waregem, Belgium Jun 30, 2007 Bottle, 33 cl. We ware the first who drinked this beer, at a taste-evening on febr. with Glenn & Davy from Alvinne.
This is a special brew, by mistake. Aroma and taste is very hoppy with a good mix of sweet and bitterness. A very good aftertaste. But ill prefere the Alvinne Blond TBone (4616), Pori, Finland Jun 16, 2007 Bottled, alc. 6.5%
