3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
33Cl bottle, 5.2% a/v
Pours a dark red tea colour with some haze. A smallish but compact off white head. Smells fruity as well as dark malt. Taste is also fruity cherry/berries with a hop based citric taste as well. The mouthfeel is somewhat thin, but a nice sweet and mellow flavour stay with you. Nice beer.

Fancy finding this in southern Indiana. Thanks, Sahara! Bottle. Very sweet and malty aroma with complimentary yeast. Lightly spiced with some citrus rind and caramel. Caramel-colored (translucent) with a large, rocky, pillowy, lacing, rich eggshell head that lasts for ages. Yeasty taste with medium-strong carbonation and oily malt. Only slightly sweet, and not really bitter, but a touch of sourness. Faint dark fruit with stronger lemon, orange, and coriander notes. Possible ginger, possible metal. Otherwise thinnish body and a dry, malty, biscuity, slightly spicy aftertaste. No real blend here. Decent, slightly dull session.

Brown amber poured into Leffe stem glass. Perfumy malt, slightly fruity. Kinda plain for a Belgian ale but still is tasty. Dark malty flavor that leaves slightly dry. Weird label looks like something out of the Prancing Pony in Lord of the Rings.

This one caught my eye since Bruegel has been one of my favored painters. Pours a golden amber with steady billowing carbonation that keeps a constant film. Nose is of gentle spices and freshly raked leaves. Body is somewhere between light and medium and that is where this easily quaffable beer begins to fall apart into a water mush of disapointment. A slightly rounded bitterness is the finish, which is also watery. This seems like a second pressing or third wash of wort. Kind of a Belgian-Lite redux.

33cl bottle - pours hazy amber, slight dark, with a rocky white head floating on top. Aroma is hoppy, yeasty, somewhat sour, reminscent of Flemish sour ale. Some other fruity/citrusy esters in the nose as well. Flavour brings caramel, honey, hops (bringing some interesting bitterness), in addition to that sour character that is found in the aroma. Bready character, typical of the style, makes up the background. Not bad, not remarkable either, just a decent Belgian ale. Sort of thin mouthfeel/body.
