Apr 28, 2008 750ml bottle: Deep golden pour with a thick, lace inducing head. The nose is pretty quiet for the style. The doughy malt and esthery yeast are there, you just have to dig to get to them. Everything comes alive in the body though with a great balance of honey, straw and earthy malt mixed with lots of banana, apple, pear esthers. Some mild vanilla and caramel sticks to the back of the tongue on the way down. Drinks nice and easy for a big beer and is complex enough to keep you on your toes. Another good one from Bornem.

Apr 26, 2008 Apple, strawberry, and lemon bouquet. Clear amber, thick white head, and streams of carbonation. Cidery, slightly dry. Over carbonated. It’s ok, but I have notcied a lack or originality withthis brewer.

Apr 20, 2008 Very much a doughy aroma, along with yeastiness and bananas. Yellow with thick fluffy white head. It’s hard to imagine 9 % alcohol in this, very well hidden. Very sharp, bubbly palate, a bit hoppy in the background. Nice.

Apr 20, 2008 Pours golden with a huge tight white foamy head. Fruity alc aroma mixed with that belgian yeast smell and some grassy hop.
Flavour suggests alc, but is not sticky or too sweet. Good balance with the grassy hop and alc, and finishes clean.

Apr 18, 2008 Looks a lot like the Bruegel I just had, but more straw-colored than golden. Kind of smells like bubble gum. Carbonation front and center while the flavors are kind of mushy. Nothing to write home about.

Apr 14, 2008 bottled. Watery pale w/ a funkned up nose of stale straw(?). Has a dry crisp start but still ends in that same off putting funk. Blah!

Apr 13, 2008 Pour was cloudy straw with soda pop head and a little fizz left over on the glass (I wouldn’t really call it lacing). Aroma was faint barnyard funk. The flavor was sweet malt fruity trippel malt, some barnyard funk and a mild twang finish. A bit overcarbonated on the tongue. Not a horrible beer, but not great either.

Apr 8, 2008 aroma of sweet malts and spices ... taste of spiced apples and yeast ... fruity finish with a thin mouth ... more apples in the after ... sharp and bubbly champagne feel .... drinkable but not overly notable
