JohnRMurdoch (1387) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - MAR 19, 2011
Bottle from Bier Tempel, Brugge. Comes in a mini champagne like bottle. Pungent sour fruity yeasty aroma. Clear medium brown colour with a good head. Strange bitter fruity flavour with coffee caramel aftertaste. A bit like dry vimto. Not really my thing.

BelgBeerGeek (824) - Antwerp, BELGIUM - MAR 18, 2011
head: thin, creamy , white
colour: caramel , orangy , amber
smell: apples, caramel, wineousy nose, some mild soury touch, overall sweet , but ver enjoyable !! , reminds me a bit of a barley wine
taste: start is cooked vegetables, skunky , salty malts in the start, a bit champagne like yeastnotes, end is more of a dry , nuty malty flavour , no real sourness in the beer ... kind of a dissapointment , but still a good beer i think ...

konstifik (573) - SWEDEN - MAR 18, 2011
Pours orange with a small head that instantly disappears. Only faint signs of spontaneous fermentation in this one, with some slight tartness and a funky hint. Not much sweetness either, but a rather dry beer.
