OK, not great but OK

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2009 Pretty average ale. Nice name, but lacks complexity. Did have a nice head and drinks away easily. Had it at Olivier in Utrecht.

25 cl. bottle @ home. Hazy amber with a small quickly disappearing white head. Soury yeasty smell. The taste reminds my of cheese to be honest but not in an unpleasant way. Maybe my bottle was a bit spoiled so I’ll retry it soon.

Nose of toast, pear, apple, slight banana. Light amber color, light haze, with slight gold and orange highlights. Light nutty flavor, banana, pear, light earth and citrus. Light to medium bitter finish, slightly creamy. Nice, balanced Beligum Amber. Really surpised by the rankings on here, this is a really delicious beer, but not "extreme" or done by a well established brewery, which is why I would account others for the low ratings.

bottle, amber clear with medium head. very nice dry sweet beer that’s very drinkable. i like it

floral, caramel, bread, amber, clear, frothy, white foam, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, oily feel, average carbonation,

Cloudy, amber-red, no collar. Almost no smell, other than beer. Strong bitter taste. Not really special, but altogether a nice beer.

special belgian ale, red brillant, foam beautiful like in the fermentation, full of taste, caramel is sweet, but important effect of the hops, body structured full, something smoke, raisin, little ginger. In the finish is fine bitter. A very artisanal quality with intesive and durable taste. My prefered belgian ale. speciale belgian ale, rosso brillante, bella schiuma come in efrmentazione,gusto pieno, dolca di caramello, ma con un effetto importante di luppolo, corpo strutturato, qualcosa di affumicato, resina, leggero ginger. al finale retrogusto lievemente amaro. Una vera qualità artigianale. la mia belgian ale preferita.

0,25 bottle at Pater Veatje, Antwerp. Strong aroma of hops and yeast. Sweat and hoppy. Bitter finish. Bit creamy. Quite good:)

Amber coloured beer with nice white mousse. Aroma is malty, dry caramel, cereals and hop. Taste is slight caramel like with nice malty touches and some fine hops in the end.
