33 cL bottle from Beers of Europe. Golden orange, largely opaque with a lot of particulate (despite leaving some in the bottle). Head doesn’t last long. Nice ’blond’ aroma, dry and well hopped. Pleasant, light and smooth, a touch bitter and hoppy. Pretty reasonable.

Draft at De Paas, Den Haag. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is big Belgain yeast leading to a yeast and malt combo flavour. Ok and refreshing but nothing special.

Bottle, 33 cl. Hazy golden with half a finger of white head. Fruity aroma of pale malts and yeast. Citrusy, flavor, very yeasty with spicy notes of dusty coriander. Decent hoppy, but vegetable watery finish.

Served in bottle 33cl. Nice beer, full of flavour. Has a nice smell to it. Not a mind-blowing beer, but well over average

Bottle 33 cl. Pours golden in color witha foamy white head. Light perfume, sweet spices and notes of wheat in aroma. Light grassyness, some citrus and light yeasty notes in taste. Bitter and slightly sweet in finish. The sweetness is actually quite pleasant in end so it lifts the score a bit.

33 cl bottle.

Pours golden color with a large head. Aroma of ripe fruits, caramel and toffee, some malts and yeast. Flavor of yeast, spice notes, malts and caramel, mild fruits at the finish.

Draught at Abbot’s Ale House. Pours a nice hazy old with a frothy white head. Hints of grass and hops on the aroma. Taste is light bitter and medium sweetness. Almost buttery in both taste and texture. Medium bodied, with a nice smooth carbonation. Lingering sweet aftertaste. Quite tasty, and very refreshing (especially considering its ABV of 6.5%).

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is full of fruity esters and not much else. Flavor is pretty much the same. A dry plis type malt with Belgian yeasty esters taking over from there. Finish is light and not much in the aftertaste. Kinda a one trick pony with the Belgian yeast

Aroma has citrus, some apricot, carmael and hints of spices. Flavour has somewhat soapy citrus, fruity notes, spices and some caramel. Your typical Belgian ale.
