3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle at Cafe D’Afspraak: a hazy amber with a bubbly white slowly fading head. Pale malt with hops sprinkled all over. Both earthy and citrusy hop notes. Light caramel and a bit of orange juice offer a light but deep sweetness. Malt takes the lead in the mouth at first, but hops definitely come into play. Perhaps not as much as I would like from hearing what this beer is supposed to be, but it’s there. Pale malt and pils malt character with CO2 pushing through some yeasty spice. Hop character is mainly spicy earthy. Light cardboard. Mouthfeel is perfect though. Dry enough, not thin, very slight slickness on back of tongue. Hops build up but so does an odd spice note. Long spicy hop finish with yeast. Overall much better than expected.

Bottle. Very high and very long lasting fluffy head leaving long lacings. Hazy yellow body. Lemon coriander aroma. Spicy lemon flavor with a lot of carbonation and a long dry aftertaste.

Draught at ZBF09. Weak aroma, hint of spice. Cloudy dark yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is slightly citric with an OK bitterness, seems to come from lemon peel. Also a little spiciness from the hops, hint of grapefruit.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: APR 16, 2009 Huge, slightly yellowish tinted head over yellow, not quite clear beer. Aroma from hops, vanilla ice-cream, fruitshake, canned fruitmacédoine, and meaty ester. Outspoken frangipane/marzipan flavour, but because of the reasonably high bitterness, it’s as if those were prepared with bitter almonds. The head, weirdly enough, does taste LESS bitter, and has this vanilla/ice cream streak in it, as well as hopflavour, rather than bitterness. Underneath, after some warming up, sweet canned pineapple syrup. Not very well-bodied, light and quite quaffable. So far, hands down the best Belgoo try I’ve had. Strange, but inviting.
