Gypsy19 (603), California, USA Oct 19, 2009 Pours a cloudy brownish red with little apparent carbonation. Looks like raspberry iced tea. Flavor is slightly fruity and with a little bit of iced tea but is actually just plain awful. Infected? My first drain pour in a long time. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Jun 5, 2009 Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Sweet honey nectar aroma and taste with caramel notes and a dry finish. LordCorkscrew (939), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Mar 10, 2009 Serata delle ale belghe simpatiche ma non esagerate: prima la Augustjn di Van Steenberge, piuttosto generica pur nel suo carattere vagheggiato, poi una Chouffe meno in forma del solito, sottotono anche se con qualche lontana eco dell’antica gloria. In mezzo questa Borkijks Kruikenbier, sempre di Moortgat, non speciale ma comunque godibile, lieve e fruttata (agrume), forse più adatta a scacciare la sete di una serata estiva che a scaldare gli animi alla fine dell’inverno. madquacker (707), Canberra ACT, Australia Feb 14, 2009 Strange jar and odd label. Was not cheap at close to A$20 for the jar. Orange colour with little bit of a head and low carbonation. Very chewy grains and a disguised alcohol content. Mmmm.... chewy as Homer Simpson would say. gte620v (27), Georgia, USA Jan 27, 2009 750ml bottle. Cloudy golden color, thick head. I have had this beer a few times and I remember liking it more in the past. This time the taste seems too wheaty and lacked the fruity refreshingness that I like in strong wheaty ales. Also the carbonation is a little bit light. There is not the delicious bit of carbonation that Duvel has. I may have a slightly skunked bottle. I plan to reassess with another bottle in the future. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jan 21, 2009 75 cl. bb 20/04/11. Golden with a lasting half-inch of foam. Spices, citrus, light honey and resin on the nose. Flavor is the same, with more peppery resin and citrus-eucalyptus hop than expected. Frosty and soapy lacing left behind. Light-medium body is smoothly carbonated, hop-spicy-tingly and dry. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England Jan 1, 2009 Bottled at Chris O’s tasting, 26th Sept 2008. Cloudy straw yellow with an insipid taste. Forgettable. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Dec 23, 2008 Hazy golden pour with a half-inch white head. Fruity, yeasty nose, slightly sour. Semi-sweet flavor: light and citrusy with maybe a touch of candi sugar and biscuity yeast. Very nice.
