Draught @ La Vaudree 3, 13 Chaussee de Tongres, 4450 Juprelle, Belgium.

Clear medium orange yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, vintage malt, moderate yeasty, belgium yeast, fruity. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, bright raisin notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100926]

Hazy golden color. Mild aroma; the flavor is quite sweet, with malt and light chicken stock. Strange.

Bottle @ Local Tasting, Nov 2010. Pours slight unclear golden with a small white head. Nose is sweet. Cookie dough, yeast and spices. Lively carbonation. The finish is vaguely metallic. Medium bodied.

First Snowfall of the Season tasting in Odense. Golden with a small white head. Fruity and slightly spicy aroma with a hint of nuts. Sweetish fruity flavour with orange peel notes. Spicy yeast and a mineral note in the finish

Nice label on the bottle. Blonde and hazy. Hoppy, flowery, soapy aroma and flavor. Mint and mandarin. Quite a nice and tasty beer.

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).

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.

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.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is caramel, fruit and co2. Flavour is caramel, alcohol, fruit and co2. To high carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a clear and golden with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, sweetness, fruit and yeast. The flavor follows the nose with some additional banana. The palate is sweetness and a high level of carbonation. Overall a good beer.
