Dorqui (1547) - Brescia, ITALY - FEB 13, 2005
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.

Gusler (2655) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - MAR 3, 2002
Ruby red to brown color, slight head, fair lace. Fruity nose, light cherry, sweet, as is the start. top is a bit thin, the beer is acidic, dry, moderately carbonated. Finish is lightly hopped, and dry, but a good beer non the less and much to my pleasure, reminds me of Leffe Radieuse.

jerohen (1776) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - OCT 12, 2002
Belgian Ale? It tastes just an autumn bock to me. An autumn bock with the typical Grimbergen sweetness.

bierkoning (7777) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - SEP 2, 2002
Cherry aroma. Buttery taste with cherry, a hint of tartness and oak. Hopbitter aftertaste.

daknole (5474) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - MAR 16, 2008
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.

Bloemart (257) - NETHERLANDS - OCT 24, 2001
A special beer from the aken maes brewery, with a fruity flowery (roses i think) flavour, but the taste is very mild.

jbrus (4989) - Delft, NETHERLANDS - JAN 2, 2002
Bit disappointing aroma with just yeast and some hops. Dark amber colour and great head. Spicy (cinamon), hoppy, some bitterness. Long finish.

Not my taste, it is a special kind of bier. It makes me think to Leffe Radieuse.
