COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"Kastaar is an authentic beer, balancing on a harmony of taste and colour, between pale and dark, between sweet and bitter and spirited, subtile and complex. The ideal refreshment because of his lower alcohol content and his fruity taste and flavour. A real K-Star from our scale, a strong fellow (meaning of Kastaar)full of allurement and very charming, with his specific Kastaarglass it has brought us a lot of pleasure during serveral decennia.
Colour : balancing between dark and pale
Taste Description : fruity-fresh with a trace of young herbs and beeryeast and a touch of coriander.
Technical description : Alcohol : 5,5 vol.%, Degrees Plato : 13 PL°
Serving temperature : between 5° - 8°C
Type : high fermentation brew with refermentation in the bottle"

hawthorne00 (1890) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - SEP 27, 2011
Bottle. Hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma of lemon, berries, white wine. Taste is sweet with caramel, berries and grapes, balancing herbal bitterness in a dry finish. A bit odd, but refreshing.

taphandle (1135) - Texas, USA - SEP 13, 2011
Clear, light yellow, really thick foamy head. Aroma is strawberries and other fruit mixed with a wine funkiness. Taste is tart with some spicy white wine flavors. It is a very strange tasting beer but quite good.

MoritzF (7835) - Bochum, GERMANY - JUL 18, 2011
(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a medium-sized foamy white head. Discreet aroma of pale malt, a yeasty and restrained fruity touch. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Pale malt-character with traces of honey and fruits; sweet and slightly bitter finish. No revelation. 05.VII.11

DruncanVeasey (6179) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Premier, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - NOV 1, 2010
Bottle from Noel Cuvelier’s, in the attic of the Recour, Poperinge. Bright gold, filmy with the bits in. Lemon curd on crackers aroma with toasty, Asti-like wood and fruit. Lemon sherbet spritz dunked with Crunchie and crackers; dab of butter on clean, white toast malts. Refreshing, delicately lemony, honeyed with a good yeasty sparkle. Very pleasant Belgian sessions.

RollinHard (1024) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - OCT 4, 2010
2 year old bottle. Pours gold with a large fizzy white foam. Aroma of chardonnay, wood, toffee, cheap scotch, and apples. Flavor of apples, tequila, wood, apples, and hay. Finishes earthy, again like cheap medicinal scotch. Light bodied, fizzy mouthfeel. Very strange beer with tons of off-fruit and medicinal characters. Pretty bad.

Abio (1351) - Waasland, BELGIUM - SEP 16, 2010
Pours out yellow, golden. A bit like a pilsener it looks. Medium head, disappears way to quick for sure. Smell is yeast, lightly spiced and a bit earthy. Taste is cookies, yeast, some spices and citrus fruits. Sweeter then expected, but uninteresting and a bit plain.

Beer3000 (3762) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUL 31, 2010
330 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with an off-white head. Mild aroma of fresh fruit, yeast and spices. Flavor is surprisingly malty, rather sweet, fruity, and spicy with a decent bitterness. Medium body, not spectacular, but harmonic and nice to drink.
