Hazy orange/amber with a small but creamy white head. The sweet, yeasty aroma had notes of spice and fruit. Heavily carbonated. Flavor was simply yuk!

Light golden color with an everlasting head. Forward yeast and malt nose with some alcohol coming through. Taste is fairly thin. Just not a lot of depth here. Light, watery, and simple with a slight bitterness on the finish. I’m sorry I bought the 4 pack. Time to cook with it.

Big beautiful Belgian Ale style eggwhite head that refuses to go away, bright golden color. Aroma of yeast and citrusy hops. Pleasant sweet/sour taste with more maltiness than others of this style. A very good effort, but not a Piraat.

Nice pour, a clear golden body with a tall fizzy head that coats the glass in sheets. It smells of ripe cherries and sweet apples. The flavor continues the fresh, fruity flavor, adding a bit of a citric bitterness. It has a clean finish. Eminently drinkable.

Bottled. Fruity sweet apple aroma. Golden color, white head, good lace. Apple, citrus, light sweet, light bitter, sparkling, refreshing. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the same beer as Augustijn Grand Cru.

Hazy yellow color, foamy white head. Fruity, sweet yeasty aroma. Dry oaky mouthfeel with bitter finish. Quite thin bodied with some alcohol in the middle. Aftertaste has lemon and is quite dry. Balanced, but not really in the world class.

(Bottled) Hazy golden color and a very large, white and frothy head (Duvel glass). Fruity, slightly sour, sweetish and honeyish, earthy aroma. Sweetish-sourish flavor of orange and citrus, plus some spices and a quite dry finish. Medium-bodied, very refreshing, slightly alcohol-burned and sugary palate with crisp and high, but balanced carbonation. A nice and refreshing, strong summer blonde!

Clouded straw color with a big white foaming head. Floral aromas at first with a slight hint of citrus. A bit of malt and the citrus at first, finished on the dry side. Alcohol well hidden. Nice brew.
