Pours a pale golden colour with a big froathy head that has very good retention. Aroma is very yeasty with citrusy notes. The flavour reflects the aroma with yeast and citrus being the most dominate, with notes of spice, but thats where the fun ends, the aftertaste of this beer is brutal, it’s a acidic bitter metal taste that completely ruined the whole thing for me. Lucky for me you can get rid of that taste by drinking more beer.

Aroma was horrid, I didn’t even get a yeasty smell. Pours a light honey color with good head. A bit more body than the dubel, but still crisp. The finish has more to it as well, somewhat fruity w/ Mild hops. Not quite as refreshing as the other Bornem, attempts to be more complex but fails.

Very strong in taste and in alcohol, it was very blonde, but also a little boring. Good head which lasts forever and I liked the dizzy sensation, lets you sleep very pleasantly indeed.

Hazy golden yellow with a large white head. Aroma of earthy hops, toasted malts and mild fruit. Taste of fruit, apple, pear, sweet malt with a mild alcohol finish though it generally hides the alcohol well. Speaking of which – it seems to hide everything else well too as it’s a bit devoid of flavor and taste. Perhaps that’s why I found it fairly cheap for a Belgian ale.
