330 ml bottle a amber colored beer with a white head aroma malts spicy and hops taste malts spicy some fruits and hops

Appearance: medium brown, short tan head. Aroma: brown sugar, toffee, molasses. Taste: as the aroma indicates, with some faintly metallic hops way in the background. Finish: short, sweet and a little mineral-ly. Notes: Pretty sweet, with lots of brown sugar/caramel flavors. Hops were very subdued.

Pours clear copper with a quickly dissipating moderate off-white head. Aroma of nuts, toast, caramel and a bit of yeast. The flavor is sweet and bready malt, and not that great. Light hop bitterness. Medium bodied, but somehow watery seeming. I’m glad this is just one of a variety pack.

330ml bottle pours a pale orange beer. A light white delicate head that gives off a pleasent aroma of toasted toffee and plenty of malt. The flavor is average of Beligum beers but with an amazing taste left on palate. A very nice Beligum beer that most can enjoy.

Cloudy and bitter, but has a resin to it that helps balance it out. Good beer very easy to sip.

This brew poured up a rich copper-colored body with a thick foamy head with great retention and lacing effects. Served slightly cooler than room temperature, the aromas of apples, malts and yeast (biscuits or bread) were just amazing. This medium-bodied brew produced some incredible flavors of warm caramels, sweet malts, and candy apples followed up with a slightly ‘hoppy’ finish.

Not bad. Some decent floral hops and a good head of foam on the pour. Colour isn’t that great but it’s an alright beer, as long as you’re not comparing it to the good Belgians.

Nice amber/orange color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of malt, yeast, & subtle fruit; Flavor of malt, yeast, some caramel, light fruit, and spice; Finish is slight bitter and tart; Overall, the palate is a little thin - but still a decent brew.
