Cloudy golden with a tiny white head. Sweet fruity aroma with malty and yeasty notes. Flavour was sweet with fruits, malty and yeasty notes.

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2009 Clear amber coloured beer with small white head and few carbonation. Spicy slightly hoppy aroma bit sweet fruiy. Full sweet palate. Finish is sweet hoppyending bit bitter and more dry.

25cl bottle @ home, shared with Joes. Hazy, cloudy orange color, huge white head that disappears quickly. Smell lightly malts, sweet, some alcohol. Taste malts, sweetness, hints of honey. Medium carbonation, low to medium body.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2011 750ml bottle. Deep and coppery with a high, uneven head fed by torrential carbonation. The aroma has cherry sherbet and apple-flavoured confectionary, the flavour some teasing flecks of Flemish complexity (iron, wood, berry-like acidity), largely demolished by a brown sugar, apple bubblegum and grenadine sweetness impossible to really warm to. There’s also that mouth-drying, low cal soda hint suggesting artifical sweetener has been used- becoming unbearable over a pint of the stuff. Drinkable, but too sweet like a cup of tea with 3 sugars and a sweetener sweet. Frustrating beer; better than some of Strubbe’s other stinkers, but I’ll need a bottle of Punk to take the taste away.

25 cL pours dark gold, lacy off-white head. Nose has caramel, apple and pear esters. Tangy, peary sweetness with only faint bitterness. Gets a bit cloying. Very disappointing.

Amber coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small white head. Light herby touched aroma. Medium to full palate. FInish is light bitter sweet with some fruity and hoppy hints. Medium Belgian ale.

This beer has a amber body - hue apperance and a fine white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a not much carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is fruity with a fruity afther tast.

Bottle. Amber colour, OK white head. Standard ale-like flavour. A little boring.

Bottled. Clear amber, minimal head. Fruity aroma with some spun sugar. Sweet with soft mouthfeel. The dominant flavour is canned pineapple in syrup. In the end it’s too sweet for me.

25cl. Dorée/orangée, col blanc. Arôme de vieille levure, malt léger avec note de caramel, houblon en retrait. En bouche, malt cara, levure avec pointe grillée, houblon laissant uen fine amertume allant vers le citron, léger grains sur la fin avec un côté sucré.
