Blond color. Very simple Belgian Ale, just a nice spiceness, both in the aroma and taste.

Very light colured, taste is of yeast and barley, foams in the mouth and on the palate like champagne

It looks awful, very very cloudy, almost no head. Aroma is dough with lemon. Taste is like a fluid sweet lemoncake with some spices. What happened!? Body is as it looks, very murky.

Tall thin 330cl bottle, best before Mar 2013, poured into a Duvel glass in Nov 2011. I managed to keep the sediment out, so the beer was a golden yellow colour with nothing floating about within, the head was poor, thin and wispy: the pour didn’t help the head of course, with me being cautious trying to keep the yeast and sediment elements out. To be completely fair an island of bubbles did stay throughout the review and a full collar surrounded the beer until the end also. Belgian yeasts and sweet floral, fruity notes from the hops (and malts). Crisp and sharp in the mouth, a bit fizzy, too carbonated for my palate, but not unpleasant. Those sweet aroma notes carry on in the taste, this isn’t bitter or harsh at all, even though it isn’t smooth or rich in any way either. Lets just say it’s rough around the edges in flavour and texture. Different and interesting without being completely unusual or fantastic: I liked it, but didn’t go overboard about anything.

Bouteille de 33cl (sous appellation "Goliath"). Couleur blond pale, mousse assez grossière avec peu de tenue. On est pas dans le chef d ’oeuvre mais c’est une bière goutue, bien équilibrée, aux arômes plutôt épicés avec des notes d’orange et de miel. La carbonnation est correcte et elle est déshaltérante. Impec pour accompagner un Steack-frite-salade! Trouvée à Roby - Menin.

Gedronken bij dutchdrebus uit een fles, geel/goud kleurig, helder, gist bovenop. Smaak voor de rest goed, beetje bitter

33cl bottle. Golden colour with a mostly diminishing white head. Aroma is very slightly yeasty. Flavour is slightly yeasty and spicy, moderate malty with a dry final. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium.

Pale hazy yellow colour with a nice white head. Smells fruity, orange peel, sharp, fresh and yeasty. Tastes a bit fruity, fresh and weak. Slightly watery palate with a nice carbo. Okay beer.

33cl bottle from the Wine Company, Slough. Hazy amber with a loose white head; yeasty aroma; slightly sour flavour with some honey sweetness and then a peppery, but rather watery, finish.

Simple and light golden fruit with s touch of spice in the nose. Taste is lightly sweet with cotton candy, honey and pear. Light pepper.

Tap. Pours clear golden orange with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is fruity esters, biscuit and cereal malt with spicy hops. Flavor is malt forward with medium hops and bitterness, spicy alcohol and a dry finish. Medium body, warmth and carbonation.
