Een bruisende volle smaak in je mond. Lichte tinten van volkoren graan dansen op je tong met een half bittere afdronk. Rond pallet. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

La Kwak è una birra ambrata da 8% vol. con una schiuma ricca, caratterizzata da un perlage finissimo, fine e pesistente. Al naso malto caramello, fruttata e leggermente speziata. In bocca i toni caldi evidenziano un primo impatto di caramello, di malto, e di frutta matura finendo con una nota delicatamente amara.

What the *** is that glass? You ran out of mugs or what? Still I’m surprised with its shape, even though It fell on my friends shirt, sorrrrry. It was one of my first loved beers and what a love story it was! A Belgian amber beer with an orange colour, looks like the Bush I just finished to drink, hope it’s not as strong. Even though it has 8%, it is really nice tasting. In America, be prepared to pay, man! Its price made me surrender... The best beer if you want to see your young brother drunk!

After years of favoring Belgian beers I tried this one again. Overall conclusion is that this beer can not be compared with true German or American beers. It is not a beer to simply drink away. The appearance is hazy and dull brown a bit troublesome. The flavor is one I don’t fancy anymore, sweet, flat, no hops no bitterness. What happened? What I expected to be a full bodied beer became an experience of cheap watered down beer which is common of starting Dutch breweries. Please give me back the old feeling of ordering a Kwak in a Brussels cafe!

Amber in color, slight head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of dark fruits, with hints of cinnamon, ripe banana and apricot. Highly carbonated, more dark fruit and ripe banana flavor. Medium body, with a sweet finish. I still get some apricot at the end.

Tengo mucho cariño a esta cerveza porque fue de las primeras que probé y por la que empecé en este mundo. Preferiblemente en barril, cerveza dulce, de bonito color ámbar , espuma persistente y su correspondiente vaso tan original
