Bottle, 33 cl. (bought from festival Hotton) Dark gold - amber color; white head. Aroma spicy, with sweetness, and malts. Medium body. Taste is very great ! Fine character, yeasts, spicy, good in balance, very pleasant to drink.

Tap?, at Erasmus, Brugge, March 2006. Hazy amber gold , good fluffy white head and gentle condition. Big booming complex aromas of limes, pineapple citrus, dry resinous pine sap, yeast and an overall fruitiness, quite dry and bitter in the mouth with a strong citrusy lemon and lime note mixed with woody sap, lingering dry yeasty finish with more fruity resinous pine notes.

Draught at Erasmus, Brugge. Hazy dark amber coloured. Huge aroma of pine needles, juniper and fruits. Like walking into a forest after it’s been raining. Pine needles and loads of citrus in the flavour. Woody notes. Light astringency. Medium to high carbonation level. Medium body. Extreme. Excellent. Reminds me of Småland.

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.

Fun pine - cinnamon aroma and flavor. Blond - gold color; white head. Big spruce and other herbs flavor with lovely sweetness - big carbonation. Best drunk fresh for spruce - pine - juiniper aromas! Beer made for three friends - one is a youth hostel cook and the other two work in a prison. Had at brewery May 30.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized creamy/bubbly white head. Aroma is coniferous woods along with juniper and some other spices. Flavour is spicy, caramelly and slightly sweet wooden. Really pleasant thing.

Golden color, with the most classic and beautiful of the creamy Belgian heads. The aroma is peculiar, with some herbs (rosemary) to join the malt and coriander. Medium body structure, malt taste, softer than expected, and quite refreshing for a Belgian ale; very light herbs here as well and very light lemon peel. Consistent final. A solid blond strong Belgian ale, with a touch of originality.

(Bottled) Very hazy reddish amber with a tight, medium head. Smoothly malty and spicy-herby aroma. Sweetish, strangely but pleasantly herby flavor with very smooth maltiness. Medium to full-bodied, silky-smooth palate. A very pleasant, extremely balanced and totally enjoyable brew.

tap at Erasmus Brugge. Pours a cloudy amber with a white head. Aroma is pine needles, rasins, honey malty. Taste is pine, citrus, rasins, honey, and a spicy yeasty component. Nice one

Tasted at Zythos Bier Festival 29th April 2012 Brandy like, elderflowers, perfume, dandelion and burdock
