2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Fairly bland Belgian beer. Goldish color with a white head. Aroma and taste have touches of malt and hops with some yeast. Nothing special.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear amber with little head. Musty, earthy nose with pale cracker malts. Smooth frothy mouthfeel. Nice taste is lightly sweet caramel with a mildly drying cracker malt flavor to finish. Easy drinking and a good session brew. 378
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Appearance is promising, nice head and colour. Aroma is okay, taste is quite simple, but okay.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle explodes a light brown with an overabundant tannish colored frothy/dishwater like head. The carbonation of this one just cant wait to get out of the glass. Lacing seems nice. Aroma is of tart apples and raisins. Initial taste yields a yeasty sulfur like taste, along with some mold & earth hints. Finish is a bit tart, perhaps like unsweetened fruit. Mouthfeel is explosive, overly carbonated. Not bad, but probably not something I would have again.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Deep red amber, quite clear, smallish head. Neutral sweet and burnt aromas. Burnt caramel flavours, rather sweet. Lightish body. A disappointment from Van Steenberge.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bonus from Piscator34. Copper with a nice frothy head and delicate lacing. Bit of a weird aroma. A bit of nutmeg or pepper, malt and something a little sour and sharp. Body comes of a little thin. Has to be drunk relatively warm. Intriguing combination of brown sugar and sourness hinted at in the aroma.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours reddish brown with a tall foamy tan head. This is VERY carbonated. Nose has some sugary notes along with some light spices and a flowery hint. The taste is thinner than the aroma would suggest. Some very faint spice and sugar hints as it leans towards a floral taste. Almost tasteless finish. Average to below average Belgian ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Yeasty, bubblegum-like aroma, slightly sweet. Thick, foamy beige head with floating sediment, hazy dark orange pour. One dimensional flavor -mainly yeast with some bubblegum notes - just like the aroma. Has a bit of spiced fruit flavor as well. Decent mouthfeel. Finish is a bit dry and leathery. Had much better from Belgium.
