This is one of worst beers I have tried in a while. This beer has a great rep but I just thought it had very little flavor and its hops were all out of whack. Its possible I got a skunk bottle but I am not giving it another try to find out.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 20 June) Colour is amber, with a foamy, lasting head. Nose is spicy, slightly fruity and yeasty. Taste is malty and spicy, with hints of yeast and caramel. A bit drier than expected and with a slightly metallic bitterness in the finish. Soft mouthfeel. An ok and reliable beer, but not really exciting. Go for the draught version rather than the bottled if possible.

Not impressed by any standard. Where is my money??? The unfiltered residue is disturbing---much moreso than a Hefe. Questions if actual ’crystal clear water’ is used or if it is from the sewers of Belgium. Not even worth trying once. I’m tempted to pour this out but at least there is some sort of unnatural taste that, I believe, will prevent me from finding the drain.

Draft pint
Consumed at Bierspeciaalcafe De Paas, Den Haag, May 2006

Clear dark amber color, large head. Lightly sweet, bland, pale, malty, simple semi-sweetness and nothing else to offer. Glad I did not pay for this one.

Bottle. Pours clear golden color; white head disappears quickly. Smells rather like Grolsch. Nice wheat aftertaste. Not really what I expected though.

An amber Belgian ale. Oily body, sticky palate. Malty sweet and fairly one-dimensional.

caramel and dark fruit aroma. a cloudy red beer with lots of huge chunks of yeast floating around. no head. flavor is very mild with some fruit notes and the same burnt caramel in flavor but pretty much tasteless. slightly watery and a really gross looking beer. way too many chunks floating about just like the cuvee, which i hated. it may have been slightly drinkable if i never saw what it looked like. then you towards the end of the beer all you drink is chunks, like pulpy orange juice......gross. quickly becoming my least favorite brewery

Poured to a bright copper with suspended yeast, absolutely no head or lacing. It had a very weak aroma of some spice, may have been cinnamon. Flavor of cinnamon and hops, but had a dry, sour finish. I have three more, and will try these, but not real impressed with this one, especially for a Belgian Ale.
