3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
75cl bottle. Cloudy golden with medium, white head. Nose : ginger cookie, dough, zest, pepper, banana and apricot. Sip : creamy and smooth with decent carbonation. Zesty cookie, dry notes mingle with hop bitterness, "pepperness" and grains. The beer is strong with dry esters and hops. Refreshing and gives a pleasure to drink thanks to smooth body. Extra points for that.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Almost clear, golden body with soapy white head. Cloying sweetness of white sugar, grapes, clove and some fresh yeast. Taste is still sweet, but the carbonation and a faint hop bitterness at least make it bearable. Smooth as well. Very Belgian and very boring, but not really bad. (33cl bottle, cheap)

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Small, lightly yellow-tinted head over fully hazy orange-golden beer. Green ferns, unripe strawberry, and some fruity, citrussy notes. Old cookies, grains and/or wheat; human sweat in the finish, or dry-fried bacon without the saltiness. Medium bodied, very slick, like wheatslickness, and ending quite dry. OK, but another rather unoriginal beer.
