2/07/2011 75cl bottle @ Oostendse Bierjutterij (2011-302)

Note: This rating should be seen within it’s particular style, being a Belgian "Tablebeer". This is a low alcohol beer that was drunk until some decades ago, in every Belgian family during lunch or dinner. Instead of soft drinks, the kids also drank a small glass of this beer.

Little cloudy red brown beer, small white head, unstable and adhesive. Aroma: bread and malts, light caramel. MF: light but ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: sweet, sugar, bit of caramel, then citrus notes and bitter hops. Aftertaste: bit sweet, caramel, bitter ending. Surprisingly tasteful for a tablebeer and although still sweet, it has more hop notes than anticipated. I’ll be serving this to my kids, when and if I will get any. ;-)

Another beer to mark off the list. Has its place right among the other questionable low alcohol beers.

Bottle at ZBF 2009. Brown coloured low-alcohol with an good chocolate and roasted malts taste.

The bottle looks very simple, the beer in the glass is okay. The beer starts malty and sweet, the finish is very washy. Easy to drink, but nothing special.

Bottle at ZBF08. Weak sourish aroma, hint of brown sugar. Clear brown colour, small light brown head. Quite sweet flavour. Some hop, but rough.

Yesterday. Bottle, 25 cl. Clear red brown with a beige head. Aroma sweet malts, bit grain. Watery body. Taste sweet malts, grainy and a very little hops. Bit more sweet as the blonde leroy bock.

Bottle @ <a href=http://ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eventID target=_new> Zythos Bier Festival 2008, Sint Niklaas, Belgium. Clear medium red brown color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, light beige head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, bread, grain, caramel, candy sugar. Flavor is heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (020308)

Bottle. Dark brown. Begie head. To sweet!!!! Aroma is from burnt sugar and syrup.

Bottle (ZBF2008)
Dark brown, red glints, fluffy head. No real aroma - sweet. Tastes sweet too, but odd spicing too. Sacchariny. Some hops too, but very unsatisfying on the whole.

ZBF2008: From bottle. Pours hazy brown with a lacing tan head. Light malty aroma. Flavour is light caramel malt, quite sweet. Holds a mild canesugarish flavour mixed with bitter and dry hops flavour. Ends in a mix between the sweet sugar and hops, somehow it doesn’t blend too well imho.
