UPDATED: APR 28, 2005 Bottled. Clear deep golden. Banana aroma. Sweet with notes of toffee and clean, hard mouthfeel. Empty finish.

bread, grass, raisin, cooked vegetables, golden, cloudy, frothy, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium sourness, medium body, creamy, soft carbonation,

Honey-orange colored pour. Slim white head, minimal lacing. Corn and malt aroma. Lager-like. Dry malty taste. Thin and slightly sweet. Okay.

Bottle from Beer Mania. Light amber body with small puffy head. Nose of malts and caramel. Taste of citrus, malts and caramel. Slightly tangy finish. Pretty good.

Bouteille de 25cl, titre à 4,5%. Couleur ambrée pale, mousse faible et qui ne tient pas longtemps.Quelques discrets arômes de miel ou caramel mais ça reste une bière insipide, pas foncièrement mauvaise mais sans goût. Trouvée à Vanuxeem - Ploegstaert.

Light orange-amber coloured. Small head, wont hold. Smell isn’t to bad, earhty, spiced, malts, yeast. Taste is sweet, malty, spiced, not to bad. Expected worse.

7th March 2010. Bought this before we realised it was an InBev delight. Actually it’s not too bad. Clear amber beer, small white head. Smells like a sweet tripel. Soft palate - a little dry. Some watered down tripel sweet maltyness. Finishes with more watery flavours but a paradoxical dry palate.

Bottle. Poured darkish golden with a stable white head. Belgian spice on the nose and light citrus as well in flavour. Low ester character and it’s all very dull. Very thin on the palate. Run of the mill Belgian ale. Poorly balanced. Forgettable. Lacking ’Horse’ that’s the problem.

Bottle at La Fleur en Papier Dore. Clear dark brown beer with lasting beige head. Fairly standard Belgian ale that lacks flavour and character without there actually being anything wrong with it. Some estery yeast.

Dark blond colour. The texture is rather thin and watery the flavour is quite well balanced, not too bitter or sweet but it lacks depth.

Bottle. Golden brown with an off-white head. Aromas are grain, biscuit and citrus with some caramel. Flavours are sweet grain and caramel. Very simple and quite gritty on the palate.
