Tap at M-Cafe, Leuven: Hazy blond coloured brew with an sweet taste all, likes water with an faint beery a appearance. Quite dull brew.

Bottle from Mam & Dads holiday, Belgium. A cloudy pale yellow beer with a tart lemon and vanilla flavour followed by a creamy, spicy warming finish.

Hazy golden/yellow body with a nice persistent white head. Aroma is spicy, some yeast. Taste is some honey, peach, surprisingly bitter.

33cl bottle from Terre de Boissons. Belgian ester aroma. Yep a tasty standard belgian blonde

#1388 Frisches Blonde mit Zitronenanklängen im Duft und Geschmack, minimal hefig. Wird zur Mitte malzig und klingt trocken aus. Obwohl nicht vollends überzeugend, ganz nett.

Hoppy aroma with some creamy aspect to it. Rather bitter taste. Not sugary, like it says on the label.

December 2008: This brown 33cl bottle which had a long neck and was very un-Belgian in shape. It had a normal cap, but there were two holes for a flip-top style closure on the neck as well. Claims to be ’Naturally Sugar Free’ and 100% malt. On my return from Antwerp in December (an 11 hour nightmare of a journey, due to accidents and idiots) I dropped this bottle on my drive as I unloaded the car. Luckily it landed on its cap, but it loosened the seal and began spurting out. I managed to save about 25cl and this is the review. Poured into a Palm tulip glass the shook up beer was a pale milky white colour and very cloudy (well I had dropped it). The head of white foaming bubbles stayed as I wolfed the beer down, remember I’d been sat in the car for 11 hours! The label mentions spices and I found coriander in both the aroma and taste, or I think I did. Obviously fairly malty in the taste and aroma too, this was a good well balanced Blonde and I wish I’d got two of them instead of just the one. I really enjoyed this beer, but after the journey a warm pint of Fosters Skippy Piss might have tasted OK.

Bottle @ home shared with dad. Gusher. Hazy orange color with a lot of floaties, small off-white head that leaves a nice lacing. Smells like tomato-juice mixed with red wine: a big no for that combination. Taste sour-bitterness, a hint of chocolate somehow and again I’m reminded of tomato-juice. Weird stuff. Don’t like it.

From Backlog

Head: foamy, white
Colour: gold yellowy
Smell: dry , bitter, slight hops, yeasty,
Taste: quite surprised it’s not extremly good but it’s just good , way better anyway than the other ’Caulier’ sugar free beer ...

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.
