(Bottled) Golden-amber color (murky light brown with yeast) with a smallish, lasting, creamy and lacy head. Sweetish, honey-caramely aroma with fermented strawberries, and smooth alcohol hints. The flavor pretty much matches the aroma: sweetish caramel, old strawberries, yeast. Some acidity and slight tartness. Yeast gives the flavor an earthy, smoother feel. Medium-bodied, a bit sticky and foamy palate. Without yeast, this would be much like Estonian bocks. Overall a quite decent blonde, but nothing immortal.

Pours a medium golden yellowish color. Aromas of fruit, yeast and some pepper. Flavors are sour, yeasty, and a touch of sweetness at the finish.

Tastes of cider and European malts. Aroma is tart as is the finish. It starts quite sweet but ends a combo of tart and musty.

Smells like wheat, tastes creamy & lemon. Not bad but has a bitter aftertaste. Not happy about this aftertaste. Gross. Go away.

Bottle from Beer Planet. Murky citrus body with huge, puffy head. Nose of citrus and fruits. Soapy too. Taste of citrus, also soapy and a bit sweet. Not entirely enjoyable. But okay. Have had better from Brunehaut.

(33cl bottle thanks to bu11zeye) opaque blond with a few soapy bubbles on the edges. Nose of grain, pear, watery and stale grains. Taste of alcohol, stale watery grain, corn, spices and umami.

(330ml bottle) Pours a hazy yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, orange, and cardboard. Flavor of yeast, some noticeable oxidation, minerals, and light lemon.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The bottle gushed for several minutes when the cap was removed. Once it settled down enough to drink, it poured a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma is bready malt with some yeast notes. The flavor is bread and some grassy hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Nothing too exciting here.

Bottle.
Gusher. Pours muddy golden amber with a lovely, stayin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma is mild yeasty, some slight metallic notes, oranges and mild oxidation notes. Low carbonation, fair light dry and mild creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, yeasty, definitely better than the aroma, but still kinda mild. Some viniousness. Okay beer.

Dark yellow colored with hazy appearance. Grainy-yeasty aroma with some fruits, also some cardboard comes up. Medium bodied. Flavor is even more earthy-grainy, yeast also here. Aftertaste is smooth with some peachy note lasting.

Bottle. It smells like sour, yeast and fruity (grapefruit), refreshing aroma. The head is small, white and milky with a short duration. The body is clear and orange. The taste is light sour, some yeast, but overall not a very strong taste. The body is light without much carbonation and quite watery.
