Pale, slightly hazy yellow with orange-green shine; very slim head, reduced in seconds to film. Terrible nose of Belgian "pickles" (=lots of vegetable things in a sauce, involving a lot of vinegar or stomach acid, and a sickly unripe mango colour). Fruity too, but VERY unripe fruit. Sour, diacetyl, acetic acid. On the verge of undrinkable. Infected as the plague. Medium bodied, acid burn, (stomach burn guaranteed). Boelens ought to be ashamed of themselves. This is not acceptable - and I tried 2 bottles, both undrinkable

Bottle 330ml. @ home.

[ With blue label ]. Clear with tiny sized body particles, a medium yellow orange colour with a average to large, frothy and open, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruity, grass, moderate yeasty, fruity, light leather. Flavour is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, fruity, funky, leather. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft and fizzy. [20120108]

33cl, with blue label, exclusive brew, from De Bierloods Adegem, complex brew, not balanced, cloudy, small head, nice brew

Bottle. Simple paper label. Honey color, little chunks of yeast. Yeast and vinegar in the smelly aroma. Initial flavor has pineapple and honey, but is overpowered by yeast flavors. Sorry, not good enough.
