Clear light to medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, nutty, bread, brown sugar. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (120408)

The color of this beer is amber and it has a beutiful caramel colored head. The aroma is slightly sweet, fruity, and fresh. The flavor is sweet, malty, and yeasty and rolls over the tongue with lemon and coriander notes. It turns in the end - and all the flavor with all of its complexity lingers a long time. It has a great palate for a beer thats "only" 5.2% ABV.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear orange with a lacing white head. Malty and mildly spiced aroma. Flavour is light fruity and light spiced. Mild caramel malt note with a light acidic touch. Light acidic finish with a spice note.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden with a small off-white head. Malty nose, and some roasted malt throughout. No real sweetness though. Not really what you would expect from Van Steenberge, but then again of course they would also have a "Speciale" type in their impressive portfolio. Pleasant if not exactly thrilling. 260798

Bottled. Amber colour with mediumsized off-white head, which turns small quite fast. The small head last for long, along with the lace on the glass. Flavour is flowery hops, some breadyness and yeast. Vegetablyness dominates the finish and also aftertaste. very watery, and not too pleasant.

Orange-red. Light bodied. Balsamic, sweetind & sourish, but still simple.

Light amber color. Light aroma, corky (it is a corked Magnum bottle). Very dry mouthfeel, quite poor.

Bottle, 5.2%. Clear amber colour. Very small tan head. The flavour is mildly caramelly and slightly sweet. Not very bitter. Has a hint of caramelly berries.

(Bottle) Pours a clear amber body with a descent off-white head. Aroma of wheat and wet grass with a hint of fruit. Flavor of sweet malt with some earthiness.

Bottle. Golden with sparse white head. Toasty golden syrup aroma and toffee. Some yeasty/toffee in the mouth, bit of boiled sweet. Finish has touch of hop, more toffee. Not a great golden/amber beer, but ok.
