Bottle @ Delirium Cafe, Brussels. Pours deep amber / brown. Head is off-white and thin. Aroma is metallic / earthy / hoppy. Taste is earthy / sweet. This is an interesting beer, and dry in the finish.

Bottle. Clear deep amber with a nice offwhite head. metallic and herbal hop aroma. Sweet flavours, some graininess, metal and herbal finish. Disappointed, I tasted this beers 5 years ago and remembered it as well above average. It is not there anymore.

Bottle: Poured a reddish amber brown color with a creamy thin head. Aroma reminds me of metal, hops, and leafy. Taste is earthy and metallic.

ambrata buona schiuma persistente aroma di malto luppolo leggermente torrefatto buona armonia piuttosto beverina non complessa

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2010 Very light and fresh beer, with an acid as you find it in good whitewine. It has a taste of herb, caramel, and a metallic note. A very charming beer. Uhm i could drink one right now :-) Sadly it seems like this beer has become more average since Heineken took ower the prodution. I cant taste the herbs enymore. Now it seems rather simple and allmost boring. :-(

Light brown colour with quick fading head. Mild, hoppy nose. Not particularly flavoursome with a little malt and hop. Quite dry too. A nice beer but nothing special.

Bottle. 33cl. Aroma is nice ale like, but taste vise it is a bit bland. It is realy a looker in the glas......:O(

Not much going on in this ale it like they tried to brew a Palm clone. Page 346 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 304 of his 500 Classic Brews to go.
