dark amber beer, medium/light head what dissapeares quickly. The nose is yeastly. In the taste are some sour flavour with a little roasted maltand yeast. Simple, drinkable beer.

pours a light rootbeer and orange color ( a little dingy looking) with an off white fairly flat head. aroma is full of yeast, malt and citrus, with some lingering vinegar attributes. Flavor reflects the vinegar presence with a cider like sharpness - lacks flavor "complexity" - sorry, i hate that pretentious word. palate is a little watery - not a substantial mouthfeel. I bought this b/c of the Belgium origin, but it simply doesn’t stack up.

Bottle. Poured a rusty amber with a white head. Diminished almost completely. Nose of cotton candy....seriously. Also malt and spice. Flavor was strange as well. Picked up hints of oak, cedarand metal. Worth trying.

Bottle. Pours deep copper with slight head. Aroma is apricots and apples. Flavor is caramel maltiness, non-descript ale flavors, a bit of earthiness. Lightly bitter with fruity/berry tasting hops. Full mouthfeel. Simple, but good.

Bottle 33 cl Pours a brownish red with a small white head. Taste has banana, caramel and brown sugar with a hoppy but sweet aftertaste

330ml bottle.
Pours copper with red-orange highlights with small to no head. Aroma is of fruit and spice with some graham cracker too. Light and refreshing. Tastes acidic with prunes, banana and other fruityness. Finishes similar with some bitterness. Not bad.

Clear amber with a off white head. Light sweet with buiscuit & caramel notes. Spritzy mouthfeel & medium (close to watery) filling body. Very mild overall and not much character!

UPDATED: APR 24, 2008 on tap at the Brick Store Pub on 11/4/07. Belgian’s session beer as the menu declared. This is true... at only 5% it is truly a very drinkable Belgian. Not too much going on with this one - a basic drinkable golden ale....
