3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle@Home. Not a strong aroma but there is some sweet citrus. Golden color, white head, good lace. Sweet, citrus, caramel, soft mouthfeel. Interesting combination of citrus and caramel.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy golden color. Mild aroma; the flavor is quite sweet, with malt and light chicken stock. Strange.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange, hazy beer with a creamy, near-white, very persistent head. End of bottle near opaque. Creamy nose with an obvious sweet alcohol smell. Something both spicey (ginger?) and fruity (?), hint of glue. Again alcohol in the taste, sweet from sugars. Faint spicey (pepper, ginger, grains of paradise). Finally some hints at celery, pineapple, and at the end licorice. Bit burning MF, very deceptive light body & texture. Alcohol remains obvious however; in the aftertaste a little lemony flavour emerging. Strange. It’s too sweet. It’s pretty raw-alcoholic. There’s little or no distinctiveness. And yet, I rather like this. It’s exactly a beer that wants to be drank more. And if I interprete its name, and the synonyms on the label, that was exactly the objective. (La Douf stands for p*ssed).
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle@Delirium, Brussels. An easy drinking Belgian ale, particularly for its strength. Touches of raw alcohol, but mostly well hidden. Yeasty, floral characters, with some citrus rind in the finish. Yeah, not bad.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice label on the bottle. Blonde and hazy. Hoppy, flowery, soapy aroma and flavor. Mint and mandarin. Quite a nice and tasty beer.
