3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Off-white head, gone after scant seconds; fully hazy amber-orange beer. Flowery nose, some liquorice and other spices, peppery smelling. Sweet-spicy flavours, discreet ginger and it would seem some pearester. Well-bodied, but not really viscous or oily. Alcohol is very present in the aftertaste. Interesting, but not really outstanding.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
0.75 l bottle from ’t Rusteel. Nice hazy deep red amber colour with a medium head. Fruity aroma with pears and apples. Flavours start fruity as well, mid-way meeting some caramel and ending semi-dry. Full-bodied. Well-carbonated. Robust Belgian craftmanship shines through, worthy of celebrating the 25 years’ existence of one of Belgium’s best (and most unsung) beer cafés, ’t Rusteel near Kortrijk.
