Very fruity and aromatic-hoppy flavor with honeyish maltiness and a touch of acidity. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. An enjoyable, clean, strong and hoppy, aromatic blonde. 5436

A Mes rate. Draught at ZBF.
Bright clean gold with a thin white head. Quite sweet and fruity with some faint spice in the finish. Sweet alcohol, faintly herbal. Oh my GOD!!! Another one of these? Really? The Belgian equivalent of a run of the mill bitter.

Tap @ ZBF 2009.
[As Kapittel X]
Pours clear golden with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has some sweet wheat, light oranges and feels quite vinious. Low carbonation, impressive creamy mouthfeel. Flavour starts rather vinous (and a bit too much). There is some lactic feel to it, though never feels infected, more creamy. Sweet and just a touch spicy. Good balance, but the alcohol sticks out too much.
