Jun 8, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle from Dranken Geers.
Lovely clean gold colour with plenty of rising carbonation. Initially huge rocky head that is full of huge bubbles, settling to a thin covering that lasts well and leaves plenty of chunky lacing. Pleasant yeasty and alcoholic aroma that is typically Belgian. Lovely sweetness and delicately spiced hoppage. Flavour has an odd burnt and smoky note that doesn’t really work. Slight hops, more yeast and some fairly harsh alcohol. Salty finish with some faint bitterness leaving some lingering alcohol. A little sticky unfortunately. Almost very nice but the flavour lets it down.

Feb 18, 2008 Bottled. Pale golden colour with big fluffy/bubbly head. Aroma is malts, some fruits, yeast and grass. Also some mild earthyness. Flavour is fruity, grassy, yeasty and some mild notes of cooked vegetables in the background. Hides the alcohol quite well.
