Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, fruity, morrelen, "champagne brus". Flavor is moderate sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090601]

Straight golden pour that wears its tall white head at length. Freshly extracted grainy, but even more bready maltiness is accompanied by honest leafy and mostly floral hops. Never complicated, but confident in its bitterness and clean all throughout. A charming entry beer that had the sad task of being my favourite of the lineup.

Golden colour, average head. Hoppy and a bit sweet. Hopbitter finish. I had it from tap, so i don't exactly know the ABV of this beer, but their homepage (www.pelgrimbier.nl) indicates 6.5% instead of 8%.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2003 re-rate 20-03-03: Malty aroma. Golden color, white head, nice lace. Light sweet, light hoppy, more like a Helles. Long lasting finish with a nice bitterness. They have a new brewmaster and it shows. Much better, more on the German side than the Belgian side. 17-07-02, 2.9: Butter aroma. Amber/orange colour, nice lace. Butter flavor and feeling, light sweet, orange. In the finish some hops.
