Eructoblaster (2043) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 8, 2011
On tap at La Mort Subite (Bruxelles). Beautiful hazy golden body with a thick white foamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with yeasty and honeyish hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Its malty/hoppy taste carries grainy and coriander notes. Ends with a good bittersweet finish. Enjoyable.

It poured a hazy yellow liquid with a white head. Smell and taste of barn yard, lightly malted, dried herbs, yeast and fruits. Nice beer with a special flavour, reminds me of dried herbs.

yngwie (8703) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - OCT 2, 2010
Bottle, 75cl corked. It pours a clear, golden body under a white head leaving some lacings. The aroma has cellar hints along with fruits and white sugar. Sugary sweet flavor with quite a lot of fruityness, some spices, and a decent bitterness towards the end. Medium to full body. As for many Belgian beers, it’s a bit sugary, even for my sweet tooth, but it’s a quite nice and easy drinking beer. 100521
