Fruity malt aroma, pale yellow, tiny head. Nice hoppy flavour, pleasantly bitter, a good beer, just doesn’t seem like a Belgian.

Bottle: Medium to slightly bigger airy and lively white head, disappears quick and leaves some bubbles on top of a clear yellow colored beer. Smell hops, grains, stngy, hay, light peach, light citrus, Taste is a bit sweeter than expected: hops, hop fruits, some hops bitterness, light barley malt and yeasty touch and a hint of grains. A nice gentle hop fruity touch. Nice hop bitter hop fruity and grainy aftertaste. Low carbo, soft light spicy mouthfeel, meium body and a creamy texture. Guess fresh from the tap this is even better.

Not a special beer. The taste is sweet with hints of honey, toast and malts. It is easy to drink, but there is almost no after taste. I am not going to drink it again.

Fles 30cl Kleur: goudblond, witte schuimkraag die heel snel verdwijnd. Geur: Licht hop, maar niet bijzonder uitgesproken. Smaak: Fris, licht zoetig, met een kleine bittere nasmaak, die redelijk snel verdwijnd. Weinig koolzuur.

33cl bottle shared with a friend. Thin white head. Clear golden pour. Nice enough but needs pepping up a bit

Originally rated January 2006 (under the name Parel). This one is definitely better than their Pils. Pours a pale yellow colour with a nice little white head. The lacing is superb and retention is good. Small transparent flakes are also seen throughout the brew. Hoppy Saaz smell is present, just like a pilsner. Medium-thin mouthfeel that finishes dry. Grainy flavour with a light bitterness from the hop, lingering into the back of the aftertaste. Then, some apples appear. Not really a Belgian ale, but a real good brew (that taste like a stronger pils).

Clear golden colour, medium white head. Not much to tell, pretty average. Malty smell and taste, average to low carbo and body.

Normal golden-yellowish colour. Lacking in smell, but the taste was pretty nice. Great mouthfeel also!

Bottle from Bier Koning. Clear gold beer, small white head. Light semi dry palate. Pale malt with a little bit of cream. Some dried fruits and then some welcome hoppy orange - tangerine. Semi dry finish. Clean and drinkable.

Bright golden colour. Thin, fading head. A thin, watery texture. Quite a sweet maltiness. A slight bitterness on the finish. A bit stale tasting.

Draught at het Amsterdamertje, Göteborg, Sweden. Clear golden, medium white head. Fruity aroma with red berries and herbal hops. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation. Well balanced; dry with medium bitterness.
