Reviewed 12/20/2009 (bottle coded 06/DI): Pours a very clear golden yellow color body, a bit darker than typical football beer. Big foamy head, good-sized bubbles somewhat lasting. Very fruity, somewhat floral aroma. Lots of pear and light fruit, light colored grapes. Some spiciness too. Perfumy, but almost a fake type smell. Floral taste, some fruit and some nuttiness near the end. Pretty clean after taste, some light fruit. Some harshness and some alcohol. Crisp, but I was hoping for smooth. Very fruity.

Soft hazelbrown pour with large thick head. Subtle hop and yeast aroma. Mild yeast and hop flavour, some fruity reminiscence. Not very deep or complex, but definitely smooth.

Bottle. Poured a light gold amber. Light nose with some Belgian yeast. Light flavors, and decent carbonation. It’s sort of like a sessionable triple. Then I checked an it’s 9% so careful on the session. Has a slight metallic aftertaste. But the abv is well hidden and it’s easy to drink. Lacking depth but an easy drinker. Not bad.

lots of honey, sweet bandaid and golden hay aromas .. . good pool of head in my chimay chalice .. . somewhat bready and fake honey sweetness, ugh, way to phoned in, not to fresh tasting.. . keyboards work better when the letters you press produce the letter on the key .. . ever been to jail?? do you eat ramen? .. . smooth and sweet but so basic... judge judy would be a tiger and a half in the sack!! .. internets are retards...

355ml bottle. Pours cloudy gold with a white head that lingers throughout the entire glass. Not bad, but seems to be lacking something. Almost has a watered down taste. Still...not bad.

I got as a Christmas gift (Brouwerij Van Steenberge mix 6 pac). Veiled blonde, medium head. Barley malt aroma, with hints of lemon. Taste of malted barley, sweet citrus, aftertaste dry and slightly bitter. It’s good but it lacks something!

Nectarine pour with a fluffy white head. Aroma is yeasty with some sweet fruitiness as well. Flavor is sticky and sweet with a whole lot of booze upfront and in the finish. Slightly tart as well, with some light spicing.

Slight hazy golden coloured beer with nice white head. Malty and fruity in the nose, some spices and some citrussy-hoppy accents too. Taste is mild with some malty touches and some hints of honney. aftertaste turns dry which is good.
