V - straw colored a bit cloudy with little noticeable head, gets to onr finger when agitated, but settled quickly. A - pale lager aroma of yeast and a bit of candied sugar T - alcohol and yeast/straw P - watery and thin and yet carbonated, reminds me a lot of an american pale lager.

Bottle from total wine. Pours brown with an inch of white foam. Not much on the nose. Mouthfeel is thicker then I was expecting. Not much on the tongue. It’s Belgian like Stella is Belgian.

Clear amber color with a decent head. Aroma is nondescript with maybe a little yeast. The flavor is watery with a little hint of apple followed by more water and yeast. It’s easy to drink and not completely tasteless. Fairly one-dimensional and boring. I have little desire to ever try this again.

Huge frothy head atop a hazy amber/copper body. Hay-like dry fruit aroma with grape skin hints. Flavor is light and tastes sweet & dry like watered-down slightly yeasty sprite. Too much carbonation... burns the tongue. Nothing special to me.

Bottle. Hazy orange-yellow, huge head. Slightly woody aroma followed by an excellent and straightforward flavor but with some nuances in there if you taste for it. This is like "The Simpsons" of beer; I can see appeal on many different levels. Some fruity flavors, mild holiday spice, crisp. Very good and satisfying finish; this would be a great fridge beer if I could get some of it around here.

This beer had very much carbonation which resulted in a thick and froathy head that took a long time to diminish. Once the head went down, the beer was very nice and smooth. Not too much bite to it at all like other Belgians i have had. Very amber in flavor.

11.2 oz. bottle. Poured a clear amber, with a very strong fuit nose. Citris, apricut. Firm foamy head, offf white in color. Sour taste, not very nice. Taste like , fruit, but not good fruit. oh, I do not like this. Bitter also.

33cl - Aroma is stank. Wet grain, rusty water and caramel. Pours transparent brown with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is not as offensive as the aroma. Very sweet malts, caramel and toffee and that’s about it. Sticky palate. Nothing special but not a drain pour.
