Pours copper like with a small quickly diminishing head. Malty aroma with fruity/yeasty notes. Light taste, it’s sweet and spicy, light bitterness. Carbonation is rough on the palate. Slight sour hint in the taste also. Mild finish. Light bodied. Overall OK

Brewery tap, Antwerp. What I drank in Belgium on those few occasions when there wasn’t something new to try. I have a great fondness for this beer. Pours clear golden with minimal head. Malt aroma. Fairly light bodied, nice feel in the mouth. Flavour subtle and complex, fairly sweet.

Malty aroma with some slight sourness. Nice deep copper color with a wispy white head. Flavor is very subdued and subtle. Good earthy malt flavors with a light sweetness and just a touch of sourness. Hops are there but mainly just to balance the malt. Leaves a little sweetness and mild funk behind. Nice session beer.

Tap, pretty average stuff. Tastes like what you might expect from a macro. it was pretty drinkable and not much flavour. Lighty yeasty flavour and a light spice as well

Malted aroma with fruity esters, a bit cheesy and grassy. Deep golden orange color with little white persisten head. Highly spicy phenols flavor with hop cheesy notes, light carboard flavor. This makes a high phenolic and oxydized beer, which ruins the malted side of the beer.

On tap in Amsterdam. Poured clear, light amber with little head that retained. Very smooth malt flavours with no hop presence. Very smooth finish.

Pours a brown-orange color with brown/white foam head. Has some malt and some bitterness.

330ml bottle. Pours an orange- amber colour with a thick beige head that dies away to thin lacing. Big caramel aroma and flavour with some biscuity malt. Flavour also of grassy hops, bready yeast and barley. A little thin with a light dry linger.
