Bottle. Clear medium yellow / orange (golden) color with a average fizzy fair lacing white head. Aroma is moderate hoppy and yeasty, flowers. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is lively. Good balance and nice beer. ;o))

An orange beer with yeast sediment floating around and a huge white head. The aroma is sweet yeasty, but also with notes of malt. The flavor is very yeasty with hints of metal and a dry end.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber coloured beer with a frothy, white head. Very malty, fruity nose - typical ale character. Hoppy but not overly so - but dry throughout, not much residual sugar here. 020898

33 cL bottle. Pours unclear yellow to orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is classic yeasty, caramel malt yet also pilsner malt it seems. Flavour holds a lot of classic pilsner malt and hops giving the impression of a Belgian pilsner, yet also with a distinct yeast presence and caramel notes. Medium dry and bitter finish. Light yeasty fruity lasting finish.

Bottled (from BelgianShop a long time ago). Hazy yellowish golden colour with mediumsized white head that leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel malts along with some fruits, alcohol and mild yeastyness. Flavour is bready and caramelly malts along with some slight fruity and floral hoppyness that ends rather grassy. Also some slight yeastyness. Aftertaste is mainly fruity and yeasty.

Bottled. Hazy golden, smallhead. Toffee and grass up front. Soft and gentle with medium body. Caramelly and lightly fruity, low bitterness. A really well balanced beer. Pleasant, not extatic.

Bottled. Yellow coloured with an off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with notes of cramel and malts. Fruity flavour with notes of malts and spices.

Bottle. Golden colour, big white head. Sweet, watery flavour with notes of some weird spice which I don’t really care for. Tastes a bit moldy and dusty.

Golden color. Forget the gravity and sweetness of Achouffe, this one is a strong beer, quite dry overall, with an interesting (Belgian) hop profile, from the aroma to the taste (hiding the residual sweetness). A bit high alcohol feeling at the end. Spices (coriander).

Clear golden with medium off white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity notes. Sweet flavour with ripe fruits and caramel notes.
