2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
33cl bottle from Franglais, Calais. Golden strong Belgian beer with fluffy white head. Looks like Duvel, claims to be like Duvel, but has none of the subtle nuances and great flavour of that beer. Sickly alcoholic flavour, no great aroma apart from some over ripe banana and finish has some harsh hop and apricot flavour. Some golden syrup as well. Bit of a sledgehammer this one.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled (BB 11/2005)
Very pale yellow, huge foamy white head, lots of lace. Strong aroma of Saaz hops and ear wax. Hoppy, white wine-like palate: hint of apples. Hoppy bitter aftestaste. A bit like a witbier. Quite thin bodied for this ABV. Expected more from this.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Hazy, soft golden body with medium white head -- fizzes on the pour. Aroma is apple and floral, some yeast. Taste is alcohol and apple, along with some and yeast. Finishes alcohol bitter.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head. Pale malts, citrus fruits, some alcohol, white sugar, a little yeast and hints of acetone in the aroma. The flavor is a tad better and clear, with fruits, citrus, spices, white sugar and grains. Some alcohol, and a fine bitterness in the finish. Warming, medium to full body, quite dry and effervescent. Overall, a decent beer, but too hot I think. 090925
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours hazy pale yellow with a great, big, frothy white head with super lacing. Aroma is sweet, lightly fruity (mostly oranges) and weak caramel. Nice, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is soft, quite vinious, sweet, a touch metallic, yeast, biscuits and sweet doughy malts. Okay beer.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
It’s hazy golden with a huge and lasting head. The aroma has notes of malt, candy sugar and fruit. The flavour has sweetness and notes of citrus, fruit, alcohol, malt, cany sugar, yeast and the finish has a dry, somewhat harsh citrus. IMO a bit unbalanced.
