Bottle 330ml. @ home.

Light unclear medium orange yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, toasted, cookies, moderate yeasty, belgium yeast, salty notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration, belgium yeast. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20101008]

33cl, from the brewery, complex brew, yet easy to drink, balanced, clear, rocky head, simpel brew, probably the same brew as Bruegel

No gushing, but pours more (dense, yellowish) foam than beer (deep golden, very carbonated). Very yeasty nose, faint whiff of hops, white candi sugar, bit insectoid. Toasted flavour, malts, bit of cookies & corn, and again white candi sugar, ending on yeasty and faint herbal retronasal. Ever so slight burning MF, spritzy carbonation, very lightly slick, medium bodied at best. Bit pale for an "amber", unremarkable on the flavour side.
