ligt maar wel een goed aroma zeer moeilijk te bepalen. mooie goude half helderen kleur. een goede smaak van een kruiden mix een zeer konplex lekker fris biertje

Bottle. OK, this may not be as good as some trappist beers, but for the most part it wasn’t bad. Needs to be tried at least once.

Golden blonde beer with nice white mousse. Aroma is slight fruity and dry malty. taste is mild with a sweet side and hops in the finale.

clear orange, large white to offwhite head with lacing. aroma is fruity, faint banana, yellow fruity aroma with grapes, citrus fruits etc. warming up i got more sweetness, more banana, even some peaches. flavor is a bit bitter, notes of yellow fruits, faint citrus, yeast. the flavor is in fact fine, but the yeasty bitterness gets in the way.

Slightly cloudy golden pour with a white head. Mild citrus aroma. Flavor is similar, but contains some mild garbage notes at first. This fades, and the beer gets a little bit better, but remains average at best.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity not wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and evenly of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a thick golden color and a light acid taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a fruity touch. This beer smells malty.

The beer that the Brewer gives at the end of the tour should encourage people to want to drink the other beers that the brewery has to offer right? Well, in Belgium, Brugse Zot does not cut it. There are too may beers that are far better then this. THis beers does have a good aroma of citrus from the yeast selection. BTW the tour is pretty good, but very basic about brewing. The old equipment is nice to see.

Draft at De Halve Maan after the brewery tour. Pours a cloudy, dark, orange amber hue with a frothy, off-white head of foam. A wet, soapy wash mostly rejoins the body, though a few scant spots remain behind on the glass. The aroma is based in blonde candy sugar, showing hints of banana, and is spiced with coriander, orange peel, and soft floral hops. Flavors are largely the same, again sweet up front with blonde candy, yet balanced decently on the back end with spicy coriander and dried wildflowers. Mediuml bodied, with lively carbonation, the palate is easy going, finishing clean. Solid spicy blond, but nothing special.
