(Bottled) Hazy golden with a very small, Big-bubbly head. Nicely tart and orange-fruity aroma with some wheaty notes. Sourish, citrus-fruity flavor with some ashy homebrew notes. Light to medium-bodied, quite low-carbonated, decently refreshing palate. Nice in a way, somewhat homebrewish, but refreshing.

bought in the town shop in a village near orval. Cloudy yellow with small and ephemeral white head. Aroma of fresh hay, raisin, honey, fruity hops and phenols. Light body and lively carbonation. Medium sweetness, you can feel alcohol as it’s warmer. Aromatic and quite sweet, good and drinkable beer to the summer.

Bottle, 25 cl. (@ hotel Fin Bec, Meix-devant-virton) Hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma some yeast, fruity, bit spice. Medium body. Taste refreshing, fruits, some spices, malts. The new beer with same name from Du Bocq is better.

Light straw colour. Cloudy. Small head. A mild taste. Also some sourness. Not a very special blond.

Bold amber, tiny head. Massive and shocking initial aroma, some marmite, some butter, some herbs, some who-knows-what. Fruity - grapefruit, lemon, and apple. Actually, I get mustart too. Taste not quite as wild as the aroma, but has come features in common. A refreshing, light blond. Anna detects artichokes, but I think she’s a bit woo-woo.

330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki)
Hazy marmalade, small head. Light swimming-pool aroma. Light and refreshing, but a bit incipid, about as far from assertive as it’s possible to get. Some swimming-pool taste. Wait a sec - this is only 5%, but I can clearly taste alcohol. That’s not good.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with small white head. Aroma is mild fruits along with some yeast and spices. Flavour is quite the same along weith a slight alcoholic sting (!) and some spices. Fruity aftertaste. Refreshing brew.

Bottled. Clear golden, no head. Vague aroma of grapes. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Light bodied with plenty of dextrose and some metal. Finishes with a sweet burning sensation from the dextrose.
