Bottle. Pours a nice golden orange slightly hazy colour with a big bubbly and creamy shortl lasting white head. Aroma of yeast, fruits, toasty malt and caramel. The flavour yeasty and malty with caramel, slightly smoky, good fruitiness and alcohol. Bit dry hoppy sweet finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 schuimkroaat (410) - Leuven, BELGIUM - APR 24, 2007
33 cl bottle, ’bbe’ Sep 08. Orange, light cloudy. Yeasty and fruity (banana, melon, pineapple) aroma. Sweetish and fruity taste with a light hoppy finish, which develops certain spiciness retronasally. Nice body for a 6.5% beer.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20 RiverHorse (457) - New Jersey, USA - APR 5, 2007
Pours a golden color with a large frothy head that disappated quickly. There was almost no lacing left on the glass. I smelled malt, spices and some dried fruit on the nose. Very dry palate with tastes of malt, fruit and yeast. Very low carbonation and not. The mouthfeel wasn’t what I expected and was rather weak for a Belgian Ale. It seemed like something was missing as this was not very complex.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - MAR 20, 2007
Rhythmically ticking (really) murky orange measure sniffing of wood, candy and bananas. Flavour-wise, peach-like fruitiness, slightly smoky malt and pleasantly wheaty afters. But a dank, watery antiseptic cardboard back taste that really doesn’t convince. Echoes of Vieux Lille. Very disappointing.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Borup (2639) - Albertslund, DENMARK - MAR 10, 2007
Bottle. Cloudy yellow colour with a medium white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, spice, malt and hops.
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 begbie100 (181) - Oulu, FINLAND - MAR 10, 2007
Bottle. Little cloudy, yellow color. Sweet aroma with flowers, yeast and wheat. Feels thick in mouth with right balance of carbonate. Didn’t like the taste that much. It has lots of different hard-to-define flavours. overripe fruits, vegetables (peas?) and yeast. This is my first belgian ale, and it wasn’t my kind of beer.
