Bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels
Hazy golden-amber color. Mild malt aroma with light vegetables. Correct body strength; malt flavor with some sweetness, light fruitiness (peach/apricot jam), but also very light vegetables; low bitterness. Drinkable, but uncomplex.

Kåstå (1221) - Mol, BELGIUM - MAY 7, 2012
Dark copper with a small off white head. Aroma and taste has clear wood hints. Quite ok, but slightly odd beer.

jgb9348 (3497) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - APR 1, 2011
Golden coloured body with a mild yeastie nose and a touch of light sweetness. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice mild yeast and wheat flavour with some light hops and a bit of mild sweetness. Aftertaste is mild as well with a touch of raisin and pit fruit sweetness and a very mild bit of alcohol. Overall, a pretty nice mild beer - not strong, but definitely not offensive. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from AH Supermarket in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for €1,10 on the streets of Amsterdam on 02-January-2011.

sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 3, 2009
(Bottled) Slightly hazy amber with a medium, firm and lacy head. Aroma of caramely-grainy malt, some dried fruit and hints of alcohol. Flavor is dominated by the grainy maltiness typical to the brewery, but there are also some dried-fruity notes and alcohol. Softer and a bit less alcoholic with yeast. Medium, slightly thin body with soft carbonation. A smooth, but slightly alcoholic and quite dull beer.

drfabulous (2288) - Lexington, Kentucky, USA - SEP 29, 2009
Basic matly character. But lacking any real taste beyond ordinary. Some sugar, yes. Some "Belgian" style. But too tame, not enough caramel, not enough period for an anniversary.

Hazy amber colour. Roasted aroma, a little sulphur too. Flavour is quite dry. A bit peppery and some yeast. Quite strong alcohol taste.

StefanSD (1588) - Lakeside, California, USA - SEP 29, 2009
750 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a murky copper color with a big fluffy white head that has great retention and lacing. The aroma is ripe with Belgian yeasts, banana and bubblegum. The flavor is similar to the aroma, but add some light spice and maybe a hint of orange peel. The mouthfeel is smooth and malty with very soft carbonation. The finish is short and dry with some lingering sweet cardboard. Overall: This tastes pretty bland and unexciting. I’ll pass in the future.

Bontus (512) - Waasmunster, BELGIUM - MAY 20, 2012
Tasted, draft, at the open brewery day. Pours dark orange, almost brown, very dense shiny head. Nose and aroma are very sweet, candy, caramel, ... Palate a bit too sticky as a result.

maledictum (541) - Granada, SPAIN - JUN 7, 2011
Bottle. Hazy, amber colour with a big and beige foamy head. Yeasty and sweet toasty caramel-malty aroma with notes of ripe stone-fruits and a touch of coriander and liquorice. Bitter-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly yeasty cara-malty taste with notes of biscuits, a tinge of citrus and present spices; toast-malty and bitter-spicy finish.
