UPDATED: OCT 29, 2003 Pours clear dark amber with small off-white head. Good lacing though. Slightly sweet spicy hop aroma with a hint of dark fruits there. Lovely smooth medium mouthfeel. Initial sweet malt taste with a mild bitter middle and dry bitter finish. Aftertaste is bitter yet sweet, almost slightly tangy, with a hint of spice too. Quite tasty. Not as complex as other belgians but very quaffable! Rerate: More plum and rasins in aroma this time. Palate wasnt as full this time either. Finish quite thin. Lost a point on palate, gained one on aroma.

[bottle--says "amber" on it] Flowers and greenhouse aroma, though weak. Clear, ruddy-gold with a thick, white ring. Very clean flavour, but weak: grainy and floral with a low bitterness. Good, even though it is a bit thin on the palate. Light body, moderate carbonation, clean finish.

The pride of Antwerp,at it’s best on tap in the city where it makes it’s home.Fruity,malty, nice amber color and a great session beer.

(Tap) Pours amber with virtually no head and medium carbonation. Bready and dry, with some toffee notes as well. A pretty good beer overall.

BA BBF 06. amber in color. Aroma is slightly spicy, and malty. Taste is caramel malts, yeast spices, pretty simple and drinkable beer overall.

Botle 10 C, 2009-09-16 AR: yeast, honey sweetness AP: colour - amber body, fully diminishing head F: yeast, honey sweetness, fudge, x-mass marshmallow, a bit over yeasty like a trappist but not that body etc. A bit tame and boring unfortunatly! AF: some of above

Bouteille de 33 cl. Ambrée orange, collet mince. Légé arome de malte caramelisé, avec un peu d’épice. Goût de fruits sûrette et d’épice simple.

Draft at PP Belgian Beer Fest. Some sour fruitiness on the aromas, but it was mostly malty. Flavor was almost all malt and some alcohol. Very dubble like. Not bad.
