3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On draught at Brasserie Erasmus, Brugge. Cloudy orangey amber with a small, lacing head. Overpowering pine aroma. Sweet caramel flavours have no chance to match the strong pine flavours. Medium body. I like the idea- plus for originality, but I don’t think it is a beer that is going to be part of my staple fare.

33cl bottle @ home. Slightly unclear orange-golden color, average sized white head. Smell malts, herbs, spices (ginger, rosemary, cinnamon?) and sweetness. Taste malts, sweetness, slightly bitter, light to medium herbs and spices. Definitely not my thing.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber colored pour. Small white head, fades fast, no lacing. Smells spicy, like heather and malt. Tastes the same. Sweet, but dry. Not to bad for a spiced beer.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
The beer is amber colored with fine-pored head. It smells malty, cinnamon, sweet and yeasty, slightly resinous wood. Starts with lots of cinnamon, caramel, sweet and yeasty fermented in background, with some aroma hops. The middle part shows a lot of cinnamon, caramel and sweet malty nuances with yeast. Goes into a yeasty-sweet finish with lots of cinnamon and pine wood flavors!

Draft @ 9th Rencontre des Brasseries du Luxembourg Belge. Holy smoke, how did I ever not try this one before?
Superbe surprise que cette petite Forestinne.
De suite, on est envouté par les pousse de sapin, impression en effet de se retrouver en milieu de forêt avec une Forestinne. Note superbe d’aiguille, de cône de sapin donnant un arôme très frais.
En dégustation, pareil résultat une bière qui emmène en forêt, c’est frais, boisé, impression de forêt sous pluie avec un petit caractère malté sur la fin.
