COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ce fut aussi l'une des bières brassées à la brasserie brabançonne "De Biertoren". Elle reflète de l'esprit estudiantin de la région de Leuven, mais déjà à un stade de fin d'études. Cette bière ambrée très mure laisse apparaître un ton presque mielleux balancé avec un fruité discret ainsi qu'un malt bien présent. Son amertume sans retrouve arrondie, lui donnant des allures d'une bière douce et facile. Elle est toutefois très capricieuse, et maligne en conclusion par un ton plus de caramel amer et sec. Tout à l'image de son étiquette, elle possède un superbechapeau de mousse régénéré par un perlé vivace et permanent.

Little bit better than the Gold one. Nice appearance with an amber body with floating sediment, nice off white head what diminishes to a small but delicious one. Fine aroma of herbals, orange, yeast, caramel. Medium body, lively carbonation. Caramel, some spices and fruity citrus tastes. Light bitter, coriander in the end.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 27, 2008
A Mes rate. Bottle from beermerchants.com. Dark amber with a thin off white head. Far too many floaters. Sweet and astringent on the nose with a clear hit of emulsion. Metallic and yeasty flavour with very little of anything enjoyable. Not a great beer.

dj (438) - Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - OCT 24, 2008
Bottle, 330ml. A golden colour with a medium head and a lot of yeast particles. A very fruity aroma with notes of caramel, peach and grape. Taste has caramel, hops, spice and yeast. Not bad.

oh6gdx (15509) - Vasa, FINLAND - SEP 27, 2008
Bottled. Amber colour, with particles floating around. Mediumsized beigeish foamy head, some lace. Aroma is caramel malts, mild fruityness, some mild alcohol and a bit yeasty. Flavour is much the same along with slight burning notes from a combination of spices and alcohol. Quite mouthdrying.

Ungstrup (22904) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 14, 2008
Bottled. An amber beer with chunks of yeast floating around under a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, citrus, and yeast. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, bread, and fruit as well as a light touch of spices - among them black peber, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
