3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very fruity, quite funky. Belgian yeast, malty, yet properly hopped. A Duvel lookalike, but perhaps more related to a saison. I will buy more of this.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear golden body with a huge, frothy, white head that laces my plastic cup well. Moderate aroma with sweet honey, candi sugar, spices and yeast. Very sweet taste with a light bitterness in the quite long-lasting, far too alcoholic aftertaste. Sugary sweet flavours with fruits, yeast, candi sugar and obvious alcohol. Nice oily texture, medium carbonation and medium to full body. A decent beer, but too sweet and too much alcohol.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a medium white and frothy head. The aroma is dominated by both fruity and berry sweetness, and with hay and something perfumy towards alcohol. In the flavour I find more of the typical belgian yeast fruityness along with some spices. Slick mouth feel, and light bitterness. A decent belgian strong ale, balanced, but nothing special.

Hazy yellow colour with a white head. Yeasty and fruity aroma. Moderate sweet flavour. Some spices. Light acidic and a bit fruity. Also some alcohol. Fresh and nice.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft @ Delirium, thank goodness for the free sample, another proof that a cool label does not mean a good beer, yet another mediocre John Martin beer.
Dorée/orangée claire, col blanc léger.
Arôme fruité houblonné avec qcq ester et fin malt, le tout dans ce bouquet typique belge laissant ce fini industriel.
En bouche, pointe de levure belge, palais réchauffant, houblon type européens en amertume, mi-sec, mi fruité, fleuri avec ce malt pâle typique légèrement grillé sur la fin sur note de grains.
