Clear red body with short lasting off-white head. Aroma is more promising than the taste, caramel and sweet dried fruit, taste is the same though a little toned down with some hints of chocolate. Enjoyed it cos I haven’t any belgians of late.

On tap at Bruxelles Haarlem. Clear ruby brown colour, thick beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and some vinous sour aroma. Flavour is malty, sour like Goudenband, light fruity and some chocolate, light sour-bitter finish. Medium bodied. This beer was clearly infected - I even got it for free after making a remark on the sourness - but was still enjoyable, it even tasted a bit like a Flemish brown ale/sour ale. Will re-rate this one when I get a fresh sample.
