Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - APR 30, 2007
A hazy dark amber ale with a thin white head. Sweet honeyish aroma with musty notes. In mouth, a sweetish malt with light fruity taste, light orange peels, and a bit thin overall. Not bad. 250 mL bottle from a gift pack LCBO 2005, BB 16-06-06.

LinusStick (2386) - Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 27, 2007
This is hands down as of this point in my beer life, the worst Belgian beer I’ve ever had. It smelled EXACTLY like a Corona. Pour was beautiful, however. Nice dark copper with a puffy 2 finger white head that lasted the whole beer. Taste was like a yeasty Corona. This was suprisingly bad. Not worth the Petrus chalice I drank it in.

fishingnet (1047) - Brandon, Florida, USA - APR 23, 2007
11.2oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a good sized lasting white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of malt and light spices. Taste is slightly sweet malt, light bread, and light hops. Nothing amazing about this beer but it was enjoyable.

nearbeer (2572) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - APR 15, 2007
Slight haze to this light honey-colored beer. Medium-large, off-white meringue head that leaves frosty lacing. Aroma is hard to find, but some malt and maybe cider. Flavor is really pretty neutral, and dry; some apple-malt tendency toward the end and in the aftertaste, but hops are present as well. Palate is light and dry. Not great, but maybe it is a nice (and possibly cheap?) session beer in Belgium?
