3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Hanoi (74) - - MAY 15, 2013
Nose is caramel, malt and a touch of wood, slight spice, slight fruit. Taste, is malty, slight honey, touch of pepper. Quite dry. Moutfeel is well rounded. It’s a pleasent session beer, but one expect so much more a. for the price, and b. for a Belgian proclaiming to be special.

Cerveja belga bem tradiconal, certinha, sem grandes destaques e sem desequilíbrios, ótima para iniciação de "brahmeiros" em cervejas de verdade sem maiores sustos.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 rosenbergh (4664) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 13, 2013
330 ml bottle. A199. BB 18/07/13. From bierzwerg.de.
Clear ambery golden colour with a tiny off-white head.
Mild yeast, caramel sweetness, cucumber (?) and mild malt in the aroma.
The flavour is spices, mild grassy hops, caramel sweetness and mild bitterness. Very drinkable but not that interesting.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20 Doofgoblin (131) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - APR 8, 2013
Not that special. Pours amber with an off white head. Aroma is some woody maltiness. Taste is malt and slight woody basement note. Finishes pretty good with a good amount of dryness. Overall, it’s pretty boring and not that much going on here. Meh.

Cerveja com leveza. Aroma frutado e sabor maltado com frutas e um pouco de amargor do lúpulo. Refrescante e leve.

Bottl@home. Small head. Brown golden clear. Filtrated! Faint malty notes. Dry short finish. Rather one-dimensional.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 thanatosti (588) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 24, 2013
33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Amber with a thin white head. Grainy aroma with some caramel. Malty taste wth some nice bitterness. Medium long aftertaste. Not the most exciting beer ever but refreshing and clean.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Douberd (633) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 20, 2013
UPDATED: FEB 24, 2013 Brown bottle of 330 ml, part of a six pack of Petrus beers. Poured into a tulip glass at home.
One finger of white head, average retention. Light lacing around the glass. Colour of the beer is a deep orange copper one. No activity in the glass.
Aroma is malts, yeast, some fruits like apricots and peach. Not too strong of an aroma, but a pleasant one.
Hmm, taste is weak. Sweet/sour, quite metallic and just some caramelized malts. Slighty bitter aftertaste, with a short finish.
Thin on the body, average carbonation. Only a bt dry on the palate.
Overall, not the best of the Petrus beers I have tasted so far, and certainly the weakest and most forgetable one as it lacks lots of character.
