Bottle at Moeder Lambic. Poured hazy burgundy with a stable yellowish head. Sweet, malty, bready and spicy aroma. Well-balanced flavours with fruit, spices and bread in good harmony. An interesting amber beer.

bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels pours amber, white head. aroma is malty, caramel, light fruits with a nice floral background. Taste, yeasty, light caramel, fresh floral hops leaning toward the orange blossom, sweet with some hints of honey. Light spices. Finish is lightly bitter and yeasty. Overall palate was very satisfying and this review just lacks the proper wording to say it all.

Red amber with a lasting off-white head. Fruity yeast and caramel in the aroma. Sweetish yeasty flavour with fruit and caramel.

Bottle @ Poechenellekelder, Brussels. Pours a cloudy amber with a small white head and lacings. Sweet malty nose. Floral and fruity. Some caramel. Warmth. Very tasty.

Bottle at Poechenellekelder. Ruby with a pinkish? head. Sweetish aroma. Light and fruity flavors with a strong herbal? note. Seems to have cherry. Rather dry. Works well in the mouth.

Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk.
Pours slightly muddy golden with a very fizzy, off-white head. Powerful aroma, some raspberries, caramel, strawberries, blackberries and lots of sweet, red apples. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and fruity, again lots of red apples, some raspberries and a good malty, bready sweetness. Great vinious and surprisingly bitter finish. Nice, sweet though, but very drinkable.

bottle, small head, subtile pear flavour,vanilla, no compexity at all but worth to try

(Bottled) Very hazy dark amber with a small, but lasting head. Grainy-caramely aroma with strawberries and syrup. Very sweet, grainy-syrupy-caramely flavor with dried fruit and soem ashiness. Medium to full body with lowish carbonation. Quite pleasant as a sweet dessert beer, but the grainy sweetness is a bit too much for everyday use.

Draught at zythos bierfestival 2009. Medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing. Fruity aroma, vanilla and pineapple. Taste is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Hazy orangey golden with an off-white head. Aroma of oranges. Medium body with a heavy carbonation and a somewhat tired mouthfeel. Dry finish. 291208
