Pours a hazy copper with a lasting white head. Smells of sweet malt, fruity, gassy. Tastes of light spice, honey, grassy. Enjoyable.

Picked up a bottle from Mint in Tarrytown while walking home. Pours a dirty yellow with a dish soap 2 finger head that quickly dissapates. Tastes is of wheat, bannana, a little clove and some doughyness. Overall not bad but not totally exciting but fine way to kick off memorial day weekend.

Bottle 750ml. Ceramic w. swing top.
Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, toasted, fruity, moderate to light heavy yeasty, leather, spicy, coriander, wood, anis seed. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, peppery. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20091118]

Pours a cloudy orange-gold color with quick diminshing white head. Aroma is fruity and cereal malts. Taste is complex; lot of intermingling flavors. Cloves, banana and honey are forefront followed by notes of caramel and leather. Moderate hop presence that balance out the sweetness nicely. Finish is a little bit astringent. Overall, I am impressed. Very drinkable.

Colore giallo-biondo,schiuma bianca e frizzante.Aroma fruttato e dolce.Gusto dolce e forte con un certo carattere speziato.Piuttosto buona anzichè no.

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.

Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Sweet honey nectar aroma and taste with caramel notes and a dry finish.

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.

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.

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.
