2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Tasting at my place. Courtesy of Fonefan. Nice warm amber color and the head is nice. The aroma is rather thin with light notes of malt, spice and apple. The flavour is thin too, it has notes of malt, spice and a dry grapefruit-like bitterness. Not really my taste.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Beer gushes out of the bottle while opening. Thick, creamy off-white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus. Cloudy appearance. Hoppy, citric flavor with a hint of metal, some yeast and licorice.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
(bottle, from bierkoning - thanks!) Clear, amber colour with a short, but persistent off-white foamy head. Sweet toast-malty with aromatic notes of caramel and cacao. Moderately sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty taste with caramel, cacao, light notes of liquorice and subtle fruity notes, getting only a bit stronger towards the finish, turning out to be also slightly nutty, moderately sweet with a light bitterness. Okay, easy going.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled, 330ml. Golden amber colour with dissipating head. Enjoyable light refreshing Belgian Ale. Hints of clove with a touch of corriander in the flavour, nicely light and pale for a hoy afternoon, a good refreshing beer with few challenges.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aromas of caramel malt and fruit. Brilliant coppery color with a slight beige head that tries to lace. Light plummy flavor, followed by a sour component, and finishes slightly bitter and semi-dry. A really pleasant drink.

A Mes rate: Great label. Great glass. Let down by the important bit. Full on yeast hit. Dry and slightly sour. Very lively in the mouth. A novelty toke but nothing more.

Beer #25 at Croydon Draught Belgian Beer Festival. Attractive bronze colour. Otherwise I couldn’t get too excited about this. Malty throughout. Reasonably dry. Nothing wrong with it, but a bit dull.
