Bottle from Beer Planet. Quite a gusher. Managed to drink about a third. Bold orange body with huge, spouting head. Nose of yeast, sour and caramel. Taste is fruity, lots of yeast and sweet, sour finish. Pretty good.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, clear yellow color with a chalky manure aroma, flavor of bitter melon, sour and watery

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The beer gushes once opened and eventually calms down and pours a hazy, milky yellow color with a white head. Not a real attractive looking pour. The aroma is wheat, lemons and some grainy notes. Nothing bad, but nothing too exciting. The flavor is similar. I get a lot of wheat and grain notes as well as some orange and lemon notes. The beer is fairly fruity tasting, but the grainy notes are hurting the overall flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

(330ml bottle) Opens as a gusher. Pours a cloudy golden body with a spare bubbles atop. Aroma of grain, citrus, and florals. Flavor of florals, brett, herbs, grain, and grass with a dry finish.

Gushing bottle courtesy bu11zeye. Cloudy yellow color with lots of sediment and white head. Sweet grain, Belgian fruit and lemon. Almost tart on the nose. Flavor is dry and lemony. Sweet and dry grain. Bittersweet finish.

Bottle, as Barbiot Blonde, 8 %.
... bought @ Beer Planet, Brussels.
Pours murky, pale yellow with some small floaties. Big, frothy, white head. Aroma is milky, lots of flowers, roses, sweetish pilsner malts and light biscuity. Medium carbonation, rather thin and slightly watery palate. Flavour has brett, green apples, flowers, estery, some mild sweetness. Bretty dry and mildly peppery finish. Okay.

(bottle, 33cl, as La Barbiot Blonde, but with 8% abv) Hazy, golden colour with a thick and slightly cream-coloured foamy head. Distinctively smokey malty aroma with lighter citrus-fruity notes, leather and a touch of barnyard. Moderately bitter flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Smoked pale malt-character with notes of peat/leather and delicately herbal hoppy notes; almost dry and moderately bitter hoppy finish with a slightly smokey aftertaste. A likeable brew, which seems to be almost completely fermented; a sweeter malt-character could have given it more balance. 31.X.10

Bottle, 75cl corked, courtesy of fonefan. A hazy yellow-orange beer gushing out of the bottles and leaving a big, collapsing white head. Chalky, citrusy bretty nose in a slightly unpleasant way. Brett, chalk, citrus and pale malts in the flavor. Some notes of alcohol as weel. Bitter, sour finish. Medium, dry mouthfeel with good carbonation. Not a very nice beer, even though it has some refreshing and quenching qualities. 090822
