3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Beer Planet. Hazy golden body with big, soapy head. Nose of bananas, sugar and alcohol. Taste is sweet, syrupy texture, malty. Prickly texture. Warming finish. Quite enjoyable.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Despite its initial interesting malty, citrus nose, reminding me of an amateur Duvel with some alcohol perfume, this one tastewise went into a far more recognisable but less enticing dusty and sticky Belgian ale territory. Wearing its 9% on its sleeve, drinkable but falling short of its potential.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle@Home. Soapy and lemon aroma. Golden, white head, good lace. Light malt sweet, light bitter, some citrus. Sparkling, light, alcohol hidden. Mega clean and boring.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pretty odd aroma and flavour. Not quite sure how to describe it. Sugary and spicy.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled 330ml (Drink Shop, BB 05/2013)
Slightly hazy orange color, small steady white head. Spicey aroma has green apple, wet doggie and mango. Body and palate are suprisingly weak/thin for this ABV. Flavor has metal, fruityness (peach, lychee) and some alcohol in the finish. Not infernal at all. The worst of three Gruuts sampled.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear goldblond coloured beer with large white head and lots of carbonation. Full sparkling palate. Finish is bitter dry hoppy. Rather flat taste.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle, 9%. Weak peppery aroma. Hazy golden colour. Good stable fluffy white head. The flavour is peppery, grainy and bit sour. Like many mass-produced strong Belgians.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled: Hazy golden color, creamy huge white head. Fresh, flowerly and citrus hoppy nose. Flavor is fresh, fruity (citrus), almonds, caramell, sweet-sour, dry hopped. Dry, citrus bitter finish.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Clear yellow color, small white head, delicate lacing. Aroma is subtle straw. Taste is similar. Very hi carbonation.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
gold blond coloured sparkling body with a white head a spicy sweet hoppy aroma a spicy hoppy herby sweet taste with a herby bitter finish
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Botttled) Gigantic creamy head lives peacefully above glowing yellow streams of vibrant yeasty liquid. The nose speaks of flowery hops ,green apple and perfume. Quality ’Belgium’that I could happily drink till I cant remember my name.
