(Bottled) Clear darkish amber color with a smallish head. Sourish-wheaty-caramely aroma with chlorine and cardboard hints. Extremely sulphury, quite disgusting flavor with some caramel. Medium-bodied, sulphury palate with medium carbonation. Either this was a bad bottle, or a very bad beer. The sulphur makes it completely undrinkable.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a hazy deep golden with a small white head. The nose has a little greasy hops and brown sugar. Medium body, caramellish flavours and a subtle yeastiness. Subdued hops. 010412

33 cL bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is toasted malty and light phenolic. Toasted malty and caramelish. Sweet toasted malty and caramelish. Bitter into the finish.

Bottle @ Fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are caramel, malt, fruits and hops. Oxidated.

Bottle: Medium vast creamy off white head on top of a hazy dark amber colored beer. Smell sweets like sweet fruit, raisin, peach, apple, rose, some flowers, hint of candy sweets. Taste is light toasted barley, caramel, some yeast, grains, medium bitter, lesser sweets, fruit, apple, some light hints of sharp apple, apple syrup and green grass, caramel, some light hints of roast, some slight hints of liquorice and whiskey. Herby grainy bitter aftertaste. Medium carbo, spicy mouthfeel, good medium body and a watery texture. Strange, bit out of tone, sweet fruity, not my thing, but not that bad.

Bottle @ home. Aroma is fruit and malt. Standard Belgian. Flavour is watery fruit, some malt. Too thin imho.

Good looking light brown body to amber with beige, lasting creamy head. Great lacing. Orange liquor, dried apricots, fluffy white bread and honey. Quite a syropy body, pleasantly sweet with herbal hops. Reveals alcohol it seems, but it’s only 6%.... Light bitter, short aftertaste. Lots of unfermented sugars? Bit amateurish brew but definitely tasty. (33cl bottle)

33cl bottle from ABCBeers Thin white head. Clear amber pour. A bit thin tasting. Nice enough beer but needs more body/taste

33cl, exclusive Dutch brewery, from De Bierkoning Amsterdam, not complex brew, floral/spicy and slightly malty/bitter, not balanced, cloudy, good head, nothing special
