Dec 23, 2007 Amber beer with disparate hed, leaving lace all the same. Fresh hops (EU) nose, really nice, garden herbs, nettles(cheese). Fresh greenery taste, nice hoppy taste - noble, but not C-hops. Medium bodied, alcohol burning. Nice one from Bouillon: usually very unexciting beers, this one is an exception. It is not yet an Orval, but one can’t have everything.

Dec 18, 2007 Bottle at Delirium Cafe,Brussels. Deep amber colour with a medium head. Caramel and citrus aroma, almost like an English bitter. Gertrude must be one bitter lady- her flavours are bitter indeed, leaving the mouth very dry. Hints of fruit, though. A good, if somewhat extreme Belgian beer.
