2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: JAN 24, 2009 09/01 0.33 l bottle @Hopdevil, Zagreb. It poured darker amber body with medium sized head. Sourish hoppy aroma, quite empty and ordinary. Winy flavor, caramel malty, dubbel-ish, some faint hops, but generally empty and bland. Thin bodied. Shorter and watery flavor with some grapes and that’s it. This is stated as dubbel by the brewery and has all its characteristics except the color.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Source: 11.2 oz bottle purchased from Greenlife Grocery in Chattangooa.
Appearance: Poured a clear, light gold color (almost yellow) with a finger and a half of bubbly white head that quickly dissipated..
Aroma: Very earthy, musty with faint notes of caramel.
Flavor: Toffee, earthy hops and a metallic twinge that dominated the finish. Very disappointing.
Palate: Medium body and watery mouthfeel. The metallic bitterness hangs around for a while, and really ruins the rest of the beer.
Overall: Very disappointing. Will not buy this one again.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A good but rather unassuming beer. Heavy on the carbonation, but a nice red color to it. A good beer, but perhaps not a first choice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This started to gush when I opened it, but I was quick enough to not lose any. It had a huge head and was orange red colored. Aroma of yeast and malt. Flavor is sweet, malty(bread) and a little sour. Dry and tart finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Mapley color with thin white head, it’s got a yeasty cheesy aroma with a hint of caramel. Taste is a bit pretzely, and carries a funky acetic undertone. $3/11.2oz
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
From the bottle.
Pours amber with a fluffy white head. Belgian yeast, some wit-like spice, lemon, citrus peel on the nose; the flavor is relatively dry, relatively tart, lemon juice with water, reasonably refreshing. The carbonation is active if not aggressive in the prickly sense; some metallic bitterness lingers on the finish.
Tolerable enough beer, but somehow it’s just not coming together for me as something worth revisiting. It’s watered-down and so straightforward as to be almost unnoticable.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a medium frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a very grainy malt with fruit and yeast. Good sticky lacing along the glass with a lot of carbonation. Thin mouthfeel with a slick crisp taste of pale malt and apples. A decent belgian from Brouwerij.
