Limpid boring beer with little to recomend it. Flavor of wet paper and diacetyl very poor brew.

Bottle at restaurant in Brussels. Hazy orange with a beige head. Aroma moderate malty (caramel, fruit), a sour note, moderate hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter. Light body despite the strength.

Dark reddish color and a really nice aroma. I think all Grimbergens have a nice aroma. This is not nearly as good as the double or triple. But a drinkable beer. Malty flavor, maybe hints of caramel. Drinkable, but there are better beers in this category for sure.

Dark redish amber colour, average off-white head. Fruity and malty aroma, little sweet (some caramell). Full body, light carbonation, with some sweeter hints.. Finish is spicy and fruity ending a little dry. OVerall not bad. I like this one.

Draught at By-Kall pub (Rovato, Brescia). Cremosa and compact foam. Discreet persistence. Red color diamond much elegant and attractive. Delicate and much rich scent. Notes of red fruit and alcohol. Indeed a lot yielded. Determined taste but not strongly. Medium fizzy. Optimal persistence to the palate.

I had this one quite often when it was still available at our local supermarket. Aroma of malt (caramel) and fruits. Amber coloured with a medium, lasting head. Taste is sweet, caramel-malty and a bit fruity. Not really special.

Hazy light amber color. Just some caramel; reasonably bitter; not special, but drinkable.

A fine red-amber beer with a airy beige head.Medium sweet aroma’s a malts with touch of caramel and sour apple.It has a light sweet taste with a touch of spices and malts.The afthertaste is light dry with a small bitterness in the end.

An amber beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, straws, berries, and with a light dry finish. I had expected more.

Bottled: Light amber coloured. Beige thin head. Fruits and alcahol in the nose. Some notes of perfume. Fruity and perfumed sweet flavour. Not unpleasant. Light watery aftertaste.
