Bottle sample at Mondiale 2010. Medium yellow colour with a white head one-quarter inch. Creamy easy mouthfeel. Orange and yeasty aroma. Lace coating as I drink an orange citrus yeasty and spicy melange.A good Belgian pale.

Birra in stile belga ma con massiccio utilizzo di luppoli, molto buona ma instabile, non mi è mai capitato di berla due volte e di ritrovarla uguale.

Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a hazy golden with a med. white head. The aroma is moderately sweet malty, yeast, and mild stone fruit. The flavir has mikd fruity notes, yeast, grass, light herbal notes and a pale maltiness.

Bottle. Poured hazy golden color with an average to large frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy fruit, citrus hop and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a friend.

Bel colore dorato, con schiuma aderente. Al naso floreale e leggerissime spezie. In bocca è perfetta, bilanciata, inzio di malto che si trasforma in ottimo amarognolo che delizia il palato. Ha tutto quello che serve per essere una grande belgian ale, molto molto bene.

333 from Domus Birrae. Pours hazy gold with a slight white head. Light stone fruit aroma with some grassiness. Med body. Flavor is grassy bitter with some pale malt and wheat? Seems rather lagerish.

draft@Chez Moeder Lambic: hazy orange with a big, fluffy, descending white head that leaves lovely thick lacing on the inside of the glass, taste is bitter with a pungent bitter aftertaste, initial bitterness is very herbal with definite floral elements, lots of those kinds of hops & lots of grass, hay, the yeast presence also slightly goes over into the body, touch of barnyard funk, bitter orange/lemon peel, the bitter aftertaste that kicks in at the finish and lingers on afterwards if bitter herbal, slight floral with some bitter lemon peel, bit of a one-note bitter Belgian but not necessarily a bad one

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow/orange with a small head. Aromas of fruit, yeast and slight citrus. Same in the flavor with a hint of spice. Very effervescent with a crisp slightly bitter finish.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels. Couleur dorée présentant un léger trouble, col épais blanc. Arôme de levure avec houblon citronné et qcq houblons aromatiques, le tout reste assez faiblard, mais démontre des notes dans le style belge. En bouche, bière reste douce, note de levure, houblon belge/allemand avec une fine amertume de citron. Petite pointe de fruits ou herbacé avec vers la fin une levure et houblon donnant une légère note épicée. Reste sèche.
