Fruity aroma with hints of baking cake. Light amber in color with athin lifeless head. Thin fore followed by some citrus hop notes that meld into more mellow flavors like raisin, bread and mild spice. Still manages to feel light and alcoholic though for all those heavy flavors and low abv.

UPDATED: NOV 30, 2005 Amber-orangeish hue, with a shy tan-colored head, with a malty nose, toasty malt and fruity aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a fruity, malty character, grainy, toasty accent, with in an emerging hop bittrness finish.

Tap at cafe Breda, Antwerp waiting for the train back home. True classic amber thats have mild bitter taste.

On draft at Teresa’s Next Door. Poured light reddish-brown with thin lively head. Sweet malts dominate the flavor. Thin and fizzy on the tongue.

featured all the yeasty/spiciness you expect from something from belgium...as well, it had a earthy/woodsy flavor i would guess come from the hops. easy drinking beer but nothing i would go out of my way for. average.

On tap at The Globe. Poured a murky copper. Mild fruits on the nose. Raisans and prunes in what was a somewhat muted flavor to me. Had a bit of a funky mild sourness to it.

The new label says: Hoge Gisting - Pur Malt. It lives up to that and comes with a high carbonation, light sour flavour and malt scent. Reddish color. Nice beer

330ml bottle, 5% a/v Cloudy ruby colour with a light offwhite head. Malty, spicy, fruity aroma. Spicy and fruity (plums?) taste with a similar clean palate. Not bad but not great.
