StoutHead (231) - DENMARK - MAY 19, 2013
Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a two-finger off-white creamy head. Grassy/hay-ish aroma with notes of fruit and yeast. Taste is like the aroma plus caramel and spices. Medium body, sweet taste with a bitter aftertaste. Alcohol is well-hidden. Pretty good.

jd7h (2) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 19, 2013 does not count
Cute beer with a peachy taste. It says "Serve at 6 degrees celsius" on the bottle, but at 6 degrees I didn’t taste a thing. At 15 degrees suddenly: summer fruit. Creamy palate. Beer has a murky brown color with lots of particles. Hardly any carbonation.

CPH2200 (41) - DENMARK - MAY 12, 2013
33 cl bottle. Pours light murdy brown with yeast sediments. medium head and some lacing. fruity hoegarden signature aroma. taste is fruity and sweet with some bitternes. the aftertaste is somewhat metallic maybe due to the bottle yeast, but otherwise its a fine beer.

thanatosti (587) - NETHERLANDS - APR 21, 2013
33 cl. bottle @ home, bought online @ Mitra.nl. Hazy dark amber with an off-white head. Yeasty fruity aroma. Nice bittersweet taste. This was one of my favorites when I was in my late teens and after all those years, I’m 35 now, it continues to impress me. Great beer

Red amber colored beer with hardly any head. Soft carbonation. Herbal nose and taste. A bit of caramel, cinnamon and alcohol in the medium lasting aftertaste.

Holmen1 (1074) - NORWAY - APR 20, 2013
Flaske fra Belgisk Bryg, delt med Ovesen: en god inspirasjonsdrikk på en dag hvor vi brygger en beligisk tripel. Innsmigende aroma som bærer bud om at behovet for snop kan bli tilfredsstilt. Og det gjør den på en forførerisk måte.

rauchbierlover (450) - Roma, ITALY - MAR 24, 2013
Ruby/amber body with a froathy off-white head. Complex aroma: caramel, belgian yeast, spices, ripe fruits. Taste is pretty similar. Starts mild-sweet than a nice hoppy note comes in mouth. Complex but balanced beer.
