Very mild caramel and grass nose. Some grainy notes with a touch of malt. Good head retention with a nice release of gases. Mildly herbal. Soft mouthfeel and a clean finish. A session belgian.

Strightforward light hop aroma. Nice estery yeast profile layered on a fairly solid malt backbone. Good medium strength belgian. If this were on tap @ a local, I would enjoy it regularly.

Bronze-gold, clear colour, with creamy off-white head that disippated very quickly. Faint ,floral hops aroma. Weak but balanced body and palate and short non-descript finish. For my money its like almost indistinguable from Palm.

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

Deep amber, lightly hoppy and slight bitter fragrance with yeast. Taste is fruity malt profile, only a little sweet, dry-grassy hops are present. Pleasant and forgettable.

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2008 Bottle, a fathers day gift from numba won Son: Hazy peach-amber color with a small fading eggshell white head. Aroma is candi sweet with over-ripe fruit. Flavor starts sweet and fruity (apricot) followed by light caramel and a lightly dry finish with just a hint of bitterness. Medium body is sticky with moderate carbonation.

"Hoge Gisting." 330 mL bottle. LCBO gift box. Smells like raw barley malt, with a touch of hops. (Smells like my basement when I’m making beer.) Copper brown in colour. Lightly carbonated. Tastes like it smells; sweet malted barley with enough hops to make the finish interesting. If you’ve ever made your own beer (all grain), you’ll recognize this. Undecided. I’ll have to have another (colder) one.

Amber color with a large thick white head. You can smell the aroma of hops and malt very clearly along bread and oak. Very hoppy, fruity flavor but is not sweet. Very dry.
