bottle thanks to bu11zeye. poured a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. aroma of butter, spices, and a touch of citrus. bout the only flavor i could get from this one was the nice alcohol spice. notes also point to citrus, but i am probably wrong on that.

Bottle at Biest Poort in Leuven. Orange gold color with a big fluffy head. Aroma of light citrus and white pepper. Flavor is plain, slight hops. Thin body. Average.

Bottled. Hazy golden. Aroma of honey and apples. Sweetness balanced by grassy hops, rounded mouthfeel. Lively and drinkable, but somewhat uninspired.

(Bottle 75 cl) Slightly hazy pilsener golden with a nice creamy and very white head that leaves some laces. Aroma of sweet malt and yeast. Good, solid body with a distinct alcoholic touch. Soft and sweet malty flavour with an edge of sulphur. Very discreet bitterness. Comes out somewhere between a Belgian Blond and a Tripel. 251205

Bottle says 05/12-07. Seems old. Bottle @ Willems, Belgium. Pours dark unclear golden with a creamy white foam and lacings. Nose is quite oxidized. Beneath there are hints of dark fruit and yeast. Palate is a bit thin. Mouldy oxidized flavor with a bit of fruit. Over the top.

0.33 l bottle. Deep golden color with creamy head. Malty, candyish, parfumy and berryish aroma. Sweetish, malty and candyish flavor with some sharp alcohols, phenols and vanilla.

This was disappointing after its companion beer, the Totentrekker. Buitenlust is a strong blonde for those with a sweet tooth. Looks nice with a lacy, fluffy head, translucent gold. Medium-strength aroma of yeast with notes of apples, citrus and wet dust, and a touch metallic. Quite sweet from start to finish, slightly alcoholic at the end. Medium to thin body. Light bitterness with some barely detectable spicing beneath all that sugar. Some notes of apricot, rum, and again, metal. We had to dig out some salty snacks so we could finish the bottle.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is strong alcohol along with yeast, malts and some caramel. Flavour is alcohol, metal and some slight caramel malts. Out of balance and really weird.

Bottled. Thanx oh6gdx. Hazy golden in color, bubbly and foamy white head. The aroma is fruity and alcoholic. The flavour is a bit on the alcoholic side.
