Bottle, 33 cl. Thx to Vacas (bierloods) to find this beer. Hazy darkgolden to orange color, with an off-white creamy head. Aroma caramel, malts. Medium body. Taste very little sweet start, malts, caramel, some yeasty touch, nice hopsbitternes, good balanced, bit spice and dry finish. LIKE IT ! (for me one off the best from this brewer)

On tap at Luxembourg festival in Brussels. Bright orange body with top head. Nose is citrus, malts and sour. Taste is malty, sweet, roasted. Quite nice. Some chees notes in there as well.

Stumpy brown 33cl bottle, best before 21st Aug 2010, drank on 18th Jun 2010. Poured into a Westmalle chalice. The body was an orange/amber colour, slight haze to it. The head was a blanket of off-white foam. Sweet smelling beer, obviously Belgian yeasts and that combination of hops and malts that only they seem able to do. The sweetness stays in the taste, but with a tangy, hoppy bitterness just under the surface from the start. Good body feel to the beer, well balanced with everything a fine Belgian ale should be. Very easy to drink, the alcohol only being evident as the mouth drys between sips. Worth buying if you ever see it.

Milky, somewhat metallic aroma. Flavour of nice citrus hops, flavour disappears quickly, though.

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a medium, firm and lacy head, forming Duvel-clouds. Pale-grainy-malty nose with honey sweetness and some tripel-like pear fruitiness. Flavor is very fruity with peach and passion fruit, orange, some coriander spiciness, strong pale-malty backbone, some hop presence, but only to balance the malt and dry the finish. Quite full-bodied, yet refreshing palate with medium CO2. A superbly balanced and tasty strong pale ale / tripel. Goes down very well after sauna, with the ABV completely hidden. 5447

Bottle 33cl, a slightly cloudy yellow beer with nice head. Nose is very hopy on the peppery side. Aroma is sweet, malty near to a triple beer, quite hopy and lemony.

Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur blonde aux reflets cuivrés, superbe mousse fine de belle tenue.Un subtil mélange d’épices et d’arômes fruités, légèrement maltée, c’est une bière bien équilibrée, sucrée comme il faut. Carbonnation fine, agréable au palais. Trouvée à Vanuxeem -Ploegstaert

In a time where every city, town and pub have at least one beer as a promotion tool, Gouden Pier Kloeffe was a pleasant surprise. It’s well balanced, rich and has wonderfully golden in colour.

33cl, exclusive brew, from De Bierloods Adegem, complex brew, slightly spicy, yet balanced, hazy, rocky head, nice brew
