Fin (5490) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 21, 2009
Bottle that I picked up in some random supermarket in Belgium. Consumed at Campsite in Koksidje, Belgium 12-06-09. Pours clear bolnde with a white head and had a busy carbonation going on. Quite a pokey beer, mine actually said 9.4% abv. Spicy with coriander and also a touch of honey. Drinks far easier than 9.4% which I must confess the strength did surprise me a little. Soft in the mouth with a good tanginess. A5 A3 F6 P4 Ov12 3.0

(33cl bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy yellow body with a rocky white head. Aroma of florals, yeast, and biscuit. Flavor of citrus (kind of tangy), florals, coriander, grass, some pepper, and yeast.

ghawener (1220) - San Salvador, EL SALVADOR - JUN 17, 2009
Bottle: Bought in Sao Paulo, it was extremely expensive but hard to get In El Salvador so I guess worth the price. First beer from Huyghe, not impressed, simple one sided.

Marko (2977) - Split, CROATIA - JUN 13, 2009
Bottle at the Belgian Brasserie Henry in Budapest, shared with and courtesy of ogivlado, thanks! Poured a murky yellow orange body with almost no head. Perfumey nose, lime, honey, quince. Sweet light honeyish and fruity taste, slightly acidic and refreshing. Coriander and no real alcohol presence. Nice overall.

Borresteijn (2596) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - MAY 20, 2009
33cl Bottle at Café De Paas, ABV 9.4%. Hazy dark golden colour, lots of floaties, white head. Aroma of sweet malts, some fruits and yeast. Thick flavour of sweet bready malts, fruits, some yeast, caramel, alcohol. Light bitter finish, but mostly just sweet and malty. Medium to fullbodied. OK, but a bit one-dimensional.

Bottled (from lahoublonniere.be, 9.4%). Hazy golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is alcohol, caramel malts, cookies, some fruityness and yeast. Flavour is fruity, yeasty, wooden, mildly spicy, flowery hoppy and also some alcohol, which grows the warmer the beer gets.
