3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

Clear, blond body. Ok lace. Aroma of hops, oranges, flowers, quite ok. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet finish. Hints of caramel.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Gushing to huge, yellowish whipped-eggwhite head, slightly irregular, over fully hazy orange beer, UFO-laden. White candi sugar (..), alcohol, faintly citric & spicy yeastesters. Sharp vegetable-spicy-yeasty taste. Sample tastes quite young actually, which is strange seen the bottling date has had 1 yr. already. Still, balance is OK, some restsugars, especially warming up; slightly smoked flavour. Sharp, burning MF; titillating & well-carbonated; medium bodied at best. Not half bad, but once the sharp taste & MF settled in, not really distinctive.

RE-taste @ home (bought Pauwels, Heule)
Hazy dark golden color, with a large white head.
Aroma bit spice, fruits, malts.
Medium body. Taste little sweet, some spices, fruits, hops, bitterness. It’s like this beer has more than just 6 % alc.
Good.

2.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled @ One Pint Pub, Helsinki, Belgian Week 2008. Very soapy aroma! Flowers, camomille. Taste very bubbly, huge white head. Taste soap as well, but not horrible.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: APR 26, 2009 750ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, Belgian Week 2008)
Cloudy pale yellow, lively and with a huge head. Taste is tangy but a bit astringent. Decent hoppiness, but there’s something obnoxious which spoils the good aspects. (5-3-6-3-12=2.8)
Rerate: 750ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks 2009)
(5-3-5-4-10=2.7) Dishwater aroma. Vegetal taste. Hoppy finish is tasty but the rest is very disappointing. Soap too. Simple and a bit watery. With yeast, you get very in the aroma too. Misses the mark.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottled, 0.75l) Almost opaque yellow with a very large, cloudy head. Very crisp and fruity, witbier-spicy aroma with sweetish honey-maltiness. Sweetish, crisp, spicy and slightly acidic-alcoholic flavor. Lots of yeast in the bottle, but doesn’t affect the flavor much. Medium-bodied, reasonably refreshing palate with a bit foamy carbonation. A pleasant and crisp brew.
