3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Orange colour with a decent white head. Spicy and fruity hop aroma with hints of yeast and bread. Flavours are sweeter with herbal hop bitterness. Bready as well as grassy notes. Medium to full body. Quite a bit of character.

Bottled (BBE 02/2007)
Hazy orange, steady creamy off-white head. Yeasty, orange peel and peach aroma. Medium-bodied. Grassy, chalky, some spices are there too. Reminds me about those ginseng-flavored beers. More or less drinkable, but I am not a big fan of these spiced Beligum ales.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottled) Very hazy golden color with a small, lasting head. Very fruity, somewhat yeasty aroma with pear and slight apple hints. Fruity, slightly sweet flavor with hints of peach, apple and pear. Light to medium-bodied, quite low-carbonated palate. A fruity, but not very memorable brew.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pale straw-amber; good white head, fast gone. Yeast clinging until the last drops. Nose as if somebody is roasting beets, caramelised and fresh plantjuice, garden weeds and sulphur. Very pilsner-like taste, lots of fresh grassy lager malts and a touch of ambrée malt. Fresh herbal flavour, lunaria, and dry grain. Medium bodied, slightly burning sensation. For a first try, quite meriting, the more as they tried a rather basic beer, rather than a bowl-you-over.
