Jan 18, 2007 Kulminator, aged version. Dark hazy orange coloured. Small creamy white head. Strange aroma, hints of strawberries but also some touches of cheese? Full body. Finish is yeasty, strange, little fruity. Not too bad considered its age, but nothing overwhelming.

Jul 2, 2005 (Bottle 25 cl) Another Bios beer from a De Hopduvel recipe - an indeed a very unusual fruit beer. The label explains that it is the only bottle fermented fruit beer. And with the yeast chewing through all the sugars it is less sweet but with a stronger alcohol than usual for fruit beers. "Should be enjoyed as a refined rosé" the label claims. Well, I don’t really know. Vague pink colour, small pink head. Strawberries don’t really leave much flavour in beer, and this is no exception. It’s basically just a strong, blond ale with a faint flavour of the strawberries and a rather sharp bitterness. Points for trying but not for the outcome. 120598
