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.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy orange gold with a 3 finger collapsing whiteish head. There’s a strong citrus, light stone fruit aroma. Backed by some earthiness and yeast/spice. Full bodie - cause of the carb. Flavor is spice/yeast, banana, light stone fruit, touch of barnyard. This is delicious. Obviously very, very underrated. There is a tendency towards cod liver oil towards the finish, but a sophisicated palate welcomes the new.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is yeasty, vanilla and corriander. Flavor is fruity to start out then comes some herbal tea and a decent hop backbone. Finish has some honey and spice. I quite liked this one. Had all the fruity, yeasty things you look for in a Belgian but with low alcohol.

(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.

750 from Wine and Cheese Place. Yeast/banana flavor. Nice orange body. While it may not wow you as a Belgian, a very tasty and drinkable beer. Belgian pale ale driven by yeast. I get that nice yeasty burp that Belgian style needs to deliver.

Draught. High creamy and lasting white off-white head. Hazy dark bronw body. Roasted barley malt aroma with cocoa and caramel. Sour berries roasted malt cocoa caramel flavor with low carbonation and a long aftertaste.
