Brewed by Brouwerij Palm
Style: Belgian Ale
Steenhuffel, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

An orange beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of yeast and brown sugar. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, yeast, and caramel.

Bottled. Deep golden. Sweet and fruity with notes of melon, cane sugar and tin. Sweaty and unfrefined, not succesful at all.

Aroma is a fruity and a bit yeasty. Clear, amber-golden coloured with a thin, white head. Taste is sweet, hoppy, bit yeasty and quite fruity. Bit cider-like in the background. Very average brew.

Bottle in Brugge. Clear, dark golden color with a creamy, long lasting whie head and good lacing. Light aroma, slightly old summer fruits, a little soured and bold yeastiness. Sweet and bready flavor, some fruit and plentiful floral hops giving a nice tart, bitter bite and pepper in the finish. Medium body and priclky carbonation.

(Bottle 25 cl) My version originally from "De Gouden Boom" in Bruges. Pale golden, cloudy with floating impurities and a fat, sticky head. Fruity, fresh esters - I bet there’s quite some wheat in here. Extremely refreshing and well-made. A great summer-beer. 121197

Draught. Slightly cloudy golden colour. Hint of yeast, some citrus. Spicy aftertaste.

On tap: Light citrusy nose, pale orange color, white foamy head. Some honey-ish malt up front with a sour middle. Some vanilla. Thin, but smooth. A tasty light blond

Bottle from Hotel Ibis, Brugge. No yeast evident. Blonde in colour. Aroma of honey, vanilla, fruit. Fairly bland blonde ale in the manner of Leffe or Grimbergen, not hoppy enough for my taste (I quite like the style, too, better examples are Straffe Hendrick or Antoon). I remember a better beer when it was brewed at Goudenboom.
