2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled @ Aarhus Beerfestival 2008. Aroma is yeasty, bit cheesy, bit grassy. Pale yellow coloured with a white head. Taste has some bitterness, yeast, citrus, grass. Bit too carbonated.

Bottle (also had this on draught a couple of times in Belgium). A hazy golden pour with a decent white head. Floral, hoppy aroma. Tastes rather bitter, sour, citrus, fruity, hoppy. Rather hard going for me anyway. Really love Het Anker but not this particular beer.

[1159-20080301] Bottle. Alcoholic vomit aroma with a bit of sweet fruitiness. Hazy, yellow light brown body with quick white foamy bubbles. Sweet wheatie flavour is a little toasted and yeasty bitter. Medium body is a little sour. Surprisingly underwhelming, would like to re-rate if possible.

Great Head that fades slowely, great lacing, cloudy blond color, but not much distinstion for flavor as hops go. As a strong ale it is OK for its alcoholcontribution, sweet, but weak on fruits. As a hopped Belgian there are better versions. Distinctive but not the best use of hops.

Pours a murky SRM 5 with big white head. Citric but not lemon or orange. Medicinal with some bandaid. Some hop in the finish with EXTREMELY high carbonation. Actually made me a little sick.

Giusto un assaggio dal bicchiere di Diego, troppo strong per i miei gusti, pur apprezzandola non mi piacciono le birre così

Belgian Strong Ale in piena sintonia con le birre belghe molto luppolate tanto di moda al momento. Schiuma molto pannosa e persistente, il colore è dorato carico quasi arancio. Al naso non esce tutto questo aroma decantato se non forti sentori di luppolo e lieviti che conferiscono una certa fragranza. In bocca prevale subito l’amaro ed è invadente anche l’alcohol con i suoi 8 gradi sentiti in pieno anche se una certa freschezza la rende abbastanza facile da bere. Non una delle mie preferite, del resto non mi aspettavo molto da questo birrificio.

Bottle. Yellow with pretty, voluminous white head. Smells like maple syrup and lemon. Mild sweet taste with crisp dry finish. Like some of their others better.
