Not good. Pours clear amber with floaties and a quickly-dissipating head. Aroma of stale malt. The taste is acidic; some malt with yeast, but mixed together to form the dreaded sweaty gym sock. Avoid.

Hard to believe I’m rating the same beer given the 61% percentile. Rocky head dies down very quickly. Darkish amber in colour, very clear. Nose is malt driven and fits the commercial descriptor well - a text book example perhaps. Palate is a let down, just a bland mixture of bubbles and faint malts. Hints of the Belgian Ale surface early but disappear quickly. Needs to delivery more obvious malt flavour.

Poured from a 33 cL bottle. Amber colored with a thin off-white head. Large amount of sediment present, definately not filtered. Aroma has a certain caramel and biscuit scent, also some light fruit, but not much. Flavor is a bready maltiness followed by a light sweet fruitiness and a nice hop kick. Palate is a little watery with an abrasive finish.

Golden amber, aromas of bready sweetness, something faintly floral. Smooth malty palate, a little perfumy, a little bitter. Very drinkable.

Tap in Amsterdam. Very good session beer, amber colored with little head. Some sweetness. A little simple, but easy to order in bunches.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours copper color with an off-white head, aroma of sweet malts, fruit, and some spices. I didn’t care for the flavor, yet i finished the bottle.

Looks good but tastes weak. On tap at everybody’s pizza. Slightly sweet aroma. Bitter taste predominates. Very thin with a quick finish.
