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.

Golden amber color, off white head. Sweetish and pretty sugary, light yeast and light fruit. Pretty straightforward in its sweeteness. Medium bodied. Decent.

Slightly hazy amber w/ creamy beige foam. Aroma is fruity & malty. Light feel. Relatively simple, sweet, mildly yeasty flavour w/ some mineral notes.

Malty sugary aftertaste, I didn’t mind asn much as me neighbours. A pleasant surprise at Doug Shoemaker’s tasting. Usual better than average from this brewery, but not a top notch Belgium.

Nate (3026) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 14, 2004
Sweet strawberry and vinuous aroma, mild hops, brown sugar, talc. Dark amber brown clear with large foamy off-white lacing head. Medium-heavy watery body with active carbonation. Alcohol-carbonic burn. Starts medium sweet, with light brown sugar, caramel malt, and some fruitiness. Vapory carbonic tang, not quite sour, but almost salty or light acid. Finish is medium sweet with medium fruity hops. After is sweet-dry, with a bit of chalky bitterness. Alcohol. Cooked vegetable or some cardboard notes. First bottle I’ve gotten where the beer was filled right to the top of the rim - no headspace. Don’t know if this had any ill effects.

Bottle provided by DougShoemaker. Decent aroma, slightly sweetish. Amber colored. Balanced well. Alcohol is hidden fairly well. As stated before, a little too sweet in taste.

Thanks to whoever brought this to the Toronto Christmas Party ’04. Really orangy sweet nose. Tastes like orange halls. Way too freakin sweet in the finish.

jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 12, 2004
Golden amber body with a smallish fluffy white head. funky sweat socks over hops in the aroma. Malt and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Light and boring. Toronto Christmas Party 2004.

Bottle. Typical Huyghe. Fizzy, thin, sugary and boring. Brown sugar and lemon detergent. Not very good.
