I had this one 14 years ago and it did not impressed me at that time.

Pours a cloudy golden body with a small quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of grass, lemon, wheat, and spoiled citrus.

5/II/2012 33cl bottle early 80s vintage @ vintage tasting Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2012-93) Thanks to Thierry for the sample!

Clear amber coloured beer, big off-white head, still stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: port, walnuts, mildew, little sweet, pepper. MF: still carbon, light to medium body. Taste: card board, cork, some port, watery, some caramel, toast. Aftertaste: watery, slight port note, walnuts. Note: yes, I’m aware it’s a +- 30 years old vintage, but my guess it’s as a good as any bottle to rate in this case. :p

Amber coloured beer with a medium head. Smell is malts, spices, yeast. Taste is yeasty, malts, light sweet, expected worse.

Bottle, bought @ Beer Planet, Brussels.
Completely clear ambwe with a small, creamy, off-white film head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, yeast, red apples, coriander. High carbonation, okay light dry mouthfeel. Flavour has lots of toasted caramel, yeast, some red apple. High sweetness, light Belgian sugars. Some malty graininess and bitterness towards the end. Actually quite comparable to the Op-Ale, I had earlier. This is much cleaner, simpler and better. Not splendid, though.

Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a white head and lacing. This is a bog standard Belgian ale with a yeasty aroma and some peppery hops. A bit thin but this beer shows that even run of the mill Belgian ale is still usually drinkable.

Bottled. An amber beer with a huge lingering yellowish head. The aroma has notes of hops and straw on a lightly malty background. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Clear golden with a large off white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with malty and caramel notes. Sweet breadish flavour with caramel, yeast and malty notes.

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a huge white head. Aroma is dry malty and phenolic. Bubblegum and estery into a dry finish. Dry bubblegum finish.

Bottle. Clear amber with small off white head. Aroma is malty with old beer. Flavour is watery with some spices. Drinkable but boring.

Bottle, thanks for sharing dEnk! Clear dark orange to golden pour, thin white head. Aroma of fruity malts and pub ale. Flavor is slightly bitter, fruity, and with some ginger. Bitter finish, decent carbonation.
