3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The aroma is fantastic; sweet malt with strong notes of fruit and spices - I can't put a name on. The aroma also contains notes of yeast and some sourness - like it is found in the aroma of geueze. The color is an unclear dark yellow and it has a beutiful bubbly white head - though very fast disappearing. The flavor is very unusual; sweet though with a strong sour background of wheat malt and with strong spice notes - dominated by corriander and lemon. The corriander and the sour wheat lingers for a long time, just to turn into a lemony dryness. A very complex flavor - great for a Witbier. The palate is quite good. Great thanks to Alex (Fiulijn) for bringing me this beer.

Cloudy blond color; compact head. The aroma is spicy, nice. Spicy wheat flavor, smooth and dry mouthfeel, strong bitterness, with a shade of bitter oranges in the final.
Correct brew, but without any BFM character.

Cloudy blond color, the head disappears quickly. Refreshing aroma, with some malt, hop, pepper. The mouthfeel is quite thin; it has a quite good mix of flavors (light hop, malt, spices…), but light compared to the usual BFM quality.

Dark ruby ale. Spicy aroma. Strong character, a light sourness similar to the belgian Oud Bruin beers. Nice malty palate.
