MrRomero (1879), Wiesbaden-Biebrich, Germany Jun 7, 2008 33 cl bottle bought in Berlin at KaDeWe: poured a deep amber color with a big tan head. Lots of dark floaties in this one. Yeasty bread aroma, light pepper. Taste is pretty dry, not as sweet as I would have thought. Mild dark fruits and peppery. Decent but nothing great.
Borresteijn (427), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Used to be one of my favourites, flavour has changed a bit. Dark brownish/purple colour, off-white head. Aroma of sour dark fruits, malts. Flavour is sweet and dark fruits, a bit sour. Lots of carbonation. Out of the ordinary, definitely worth a try. chicagodri (467), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 11, 2008 When I ordered this I didn’t realize it was made by Hoegaarden. Pours a hazy amber color, thin white head. Aroma is fruity with sweet malt as well. Dark fruit and alcohol is present in the flavor. Solid beer though. Pinball (353), Allerød, Denmark Aug 11, 2008 what a great fusion between good belgian beer, and witbeer. still reminds me of delicious flavors from hoegaarden witbeer, but has like double the strength, and color. if you like belgian and like the hoegaarden flagship, this one will mke you weep. low score is because it is, after all, an in-between tryng to straddle two types that cannot be. tarjei (1131), Bryne, Norway Aug 6, 2008 33 cl bottle, bought in Oostende - shared with Roger. Slightly brown color, very big beige head. Aroma is hoppy and fruity, sweet malt, hints of sourness, wood. Flavor is malty, dried fruit, wood, hops, hints of sourness. Dry finish. note666 (192), Eindhoven, Netherlands Aug 1, 2008 330 ml bottle. hazy amber colour. small off-white head. spicey flavor with alcohol present.
