bierkoning (8099) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - APR 22, 2003
Chunks of yeast, just a little honey in the aroma, together with apple. Full bodied, almost buttery. Honeyish flavor, not coming forward too much. Hoppy, yeasty and some orange, apricot and apple. A bit of sourness and herbs. Not a bad beer, reasonably balanced.

This beer has a yellow body - hue with an acid initial flavor and a honey taste and a heavy body.

Kåstå (1221) - Mol, BELGIUM - MAR 10, 2003
Dark blond cloudy beer with a huge quickly disappearing head. Slightly honey sweet with a yeasty taste. The alcohol is noticeable but not disturbing. Medium bitter finish. A bit too yeasty for me.

Cloudy light amber color, with too many sediment particles; persistent head. Strong biting malt aroma, white sugar. Smooth taste, well balanced (i.e. not too sweet), velvety; malt, fudge, light honey. Interesting final, not really hoppy, but juggling between sweetness and dryness, bitterness and honey.

SilkTork (4736) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - SEP 11, 2002
An incredible zing of fresh fruity flavours, a hint of honey lurking around, lots of fresh spice, a firm malt body not overdominated by the alcohol strength, and a pleasant and subtle hit of fragrant hops. A wonderful beer. Strongly recommended. Well worth seeking out. I bought mine at the Canterbury Beer Festival, so I don’t know where to get it. The website address is: www.proximedia.com/web/boelens.html - but it’s in Dutch.

The flavor couldn’t match the aroma. It started out so well but couldn’t finish the job.

Fantastic fruity hops aroma that gave me great expectations. But no!

jcalbi (378) - New Jersey, USA - MAR 25, 2002
Somewhat of a rust color (although the lighting in the restaurant made it difficult to see) with a nice lemony aroma. A rather astringent hop bitterness yet quite flavorful and filling.
