For a belgian strong, this was definitely a bit on the weak side. Lighter in color More like a belgian white but more alcoholic. I was expecting a belgian strong, and that’s not exactly what I found. For that reason, I was a bit disappointed. That being said, this was an acceptable beer. Hazy-light yellow in color, it poured thick with an unrelenting head. Fruit flavors have a strong presence throughout with increasing intensity near the end.

Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s warm golden with a huge, white and lasting head. The aroma has sweetness and it’s spicy and perfumed. The flavour has sweetness and notes of citrus, malt, yeast, spices, and the overall impression is perfumed, but pleasant.

Bottle: Pour is medium hazy golden with a big white head. Head lasted quite a while because my bottle was a gusher which was due to over-carbonation. Aroma is sweet malt, yeast, and light fruit with some floral characters. Flavor is also sweet and floran but has some hop character and bitterness which doesn’t have much place in this brew. The color of the beer is a little off as well for it looks a bit like hazy urine...oops. Overall, not a bad brew but could hammer out a few kinks.

Tap @ Publick House, Brookline, MA. Pours a hazy golden amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma is yeast, dark fruit, malt, and a bit of candy sugar as well. The taste hits you completely out of left field - we have dark fruit and candy sugar up front, dissolving into spices, hops, and slight malt at the end. A wonderful surprise, and yet another beer you just can’t judge by its cover.

Bottle, 33 cl. Yesterday @ home (bought Bierloods) Hazy darkgolden color, with large white head. Aroma, some yeast, fruit and malts. Medium body. Taste bit strange sweet, fruits, some spice, and hops + bitterness. Good.

Nice thick, frothy head, but doesn’t leave much lacing on the glass. Aroma of bubble gum, apricots, and cloves. Flavor is a little flat with some sweet, fruity notes. Fairly effervescent. Nothing special.
