Brugge Festival 2008. Blondy hoppy beer. Thin cream head. Its a decent hoppy beer, bit sickly, bit of sick on aroma. Its a not great blond, but acceptable.

Bottle. Unclear, pale golden body, with a white head. Evident aroma of fruityness, spices, some hops and pale malt, and some alcohol as well. The flavor is quite sweet, with a warming touch of alcohol, fruityness, spices and some cellar. Quite fullbodied, sweet and warming. Nice! (070914)

Orange/golden with a huge, creamy head. The aroma is fruity/spicy - mostly the orange citrus fruits. The flavour is sweetish and I recognize the notes from the aroma. The finish is slightly bitter and rather dry.

Light golden coloured. Clear. White dense head. Is fruity, sweet and spicy. Has yeast notes. Flavour are a little vague, which draws down for me. Still a genuin and very drinkable beer.

Bottle. Golden / orange colour with a white head.. Aroma is malt, orange, fruit, yeast. Flavour is dry, malt, orange, fruit, yeast. Nice beer.

Bottle: Golden, hazy, some floaties visible, persistent creamy white head; fresh sweetish and tart fruity nose: oranges, orange-peel, lemons and traces of yeast; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; balanced sweet and tart fruity finish with some alcoholic traces. Quite a pleasant brew....

(33cl bottle, Malheur 8) Hazy, golden coloured and effervescent hue with a thick blond foamy head. Sweet malty, slightly bready and yeasty aroma with spicy herbal and slightly floral hops. Moderately bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a pleasant, slightly crispy carbonation. Malt-accented base with herbal spice from the beginning; increasing bitterness by hops and yeasts towards the dry and quite lasting finish with a moderate alcoholic burn. Another good Malheur brew with present hops profile (26.IV.09).

Draught. This beer is brewed by De Landtsheer to be a draught housebeer for various pubs in Belgium. pale brown coulour with orange hue. Slight white head, lacy. Nutty nose, candi sugar. Bitter-refreshing taste, it's hoppy. Candi-sugar is there, in the background. Reasonably full-bodied. Bitter aftertaste, but not hoppy, more burnt malt. A rather OK brown. It's better than I seem to recall.

2008-03-01. Lightly hazy pastel yellow, small fading of-white head. (3+) Very muted aroma at first. Slightly sour wheat notes, very muted fruit and pale malt. Dry flavour, light fruit doused in dry alcohol. Average palate. Ok but underwhelming.
Bottle at Zythos Festival, St. Niklaas

Bottle. Light hazy yellow colour with a white head. Light fruity, spicy aroma and a sweet perfumed, fruity taste. Medium to full body with a sweet finish.
