Bottle; pour is murky golden amber with a fairly nice off white head that retains fairly well; on the nose? Sweet breads, I suppose. This is a simple brew with a light body and a slightly sweet character; sweet, bready malts, modest floral hops; drinkable, simple, light. This was better than expected for me.

Beer from Bierparadijs. Nice amber body with small head. Nose of malts and toffee. Taste is also malts, caramel, toffee, sugar. Quite smooth and enjoyable. Some bitter in the finish.

A little better. Spicy, a little nice head and nice shape and aroma. Fine aftertaste but still incipit.

Bottle 33cl, a clear amber beer with low head. Nose is bitter and caramalt like. Aroma is dry, malty, body is near to german Martzen style so brewed with decoction ? Not a bad beer, surpizing for a Belgian one, long bitter aftertaste, grassy and hoppy.

Bottle. Brownish, amber color with little to no head. Aroma is floral with notes of caramel and berries. Slightly herbal flavor with some fruitiness as well. Not bad, just nothing stands out. A decent Belgian brew.

amber, small head, somewhat herbal, with caramel in the nose, also some sweetness (rose hips). Sweetish taste, some fizzling on the tongue, slightly bitter.

This is almost like an American interpretation of a Belgian Ale. It has the good belgian malty sweetness, but the finish is bitter, floral, and clean. Almost like an American IPA, hops, spices, and some citrus, but then there is a little Belgian yeast funk along with some coriander. A very interesting beer.

A clear light brown colored beer, with thick foamy light beige head. The aroma of sweet fruits with caramel. The taste of sweet fruit, with caramel notes of coriander and some bitter. The aftertaste is bittersweet.
