LordCorkscrew (1774) - Ronco Scrivia (GE), - SEP 28, 2009
Quando l’ho stappata (nonostante non sia tanto in forma oggi..ma avevo voglia, come si faceva a rifiutare una bella birra dopo pranzo?) mi sono un poco pentito: l’ho versata e ho sentito odore di alcool, pungente, ho pensato: "eccola è quel che mi aspettavo, una botta di alcool mascherata da birra raffinata tipo HY etc" poi sono andato a sciacquare la bottiglia e mentre andavo annusavo il collo; hmm che buon aroma, il fondo di lievito c’è, mi consolo. Torno al bicchiere, la schiuma è leggermente calata ma mostra comunque persistenza: annuso, di nuovo molto alcool però ci sento qualcosa sotto, pesca, albicocca..assaggiamo valà. L’assaggio è purtroppo deludente, grande dolcezza e sentore metallico rubano alla birra quello che potrebbe sprigionare in bocca; inoltre la frizzantezza è abbastanza pesante e si combina con l’alcool per creare un certo senso di scarsa confortevolezza. Brigante chi ha permesso che accadesse questo scempio, peccato perché poteva avere qualche qualità.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2013 Une bière blonde de qualité avec un vrai gout et qui ne laisse pas d’arrière gout amêre. Il y a du caractère dans cette bière

EddyBeer1 (129) - Brussels, BELGIUM - JUN 8, 2013
Blonde claire, forte pétillance, mousse crémeuse et persistante. Principalement maltée avec une légère amertume, un peu métallique, présence de fruits, un rien épicée, mais il est dommage que l’alcool soit si présent.

rosenbergh (4762) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUN 7, 2013
330 ml bottle. BRBR0911A. BB 09/2015. From bierzwerg.de. Cloudy lively pale golden colour with a huge foamy white head. Belgian yeast, mild spiciness, mild floral hops and mild citrus notes in the aroma. The flavour is yeast, mild spices, mild hops, mild malt and mild alcohol in the aroma. Rather enjoyable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sampled from bottle at Cafe Buitenlust, Oirschot. Yellow color, small to medium sized white head. Not much to tell about this beer, pretty average I think.

Abijen (268) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 17, 2013
Pours a golden beer with a big white head. Smells pretty standard. The taste is ok I guess. Good carbo and a dry texture.

Migmar (66) - Hohhot, CHINA - MAY 11, 2013
Golden colour, ample head that stays long. Mild caramel, medium bitterness towards the end. Alcohol comes through pretty clearly. Still not offensive, a nice Belgian ale.

Theydon_Bois (3387) - The ’Sham, Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 5, 2013
Bottle from Carrefour Bruxelles Midi, split on split on the not so 300kph tasting part II on Train 9437 to Koln, 26/04/13. Hazed pale golden with a decent sized off white head. Nose is burnt toffee, sugars, yeast, citrus, orange pith, burnt alcohol. Taste comprises lemon rind, orange, caramel, light booze, wheaten notes, barley, sugars. Full bodied with fine carbonation, sweet bitter notes in the finish which carries a little booze. Ok stuff but nothing I’d rush back to.
