Slightly hazy and golden with a thick white head, good lacing. Bread and fruit aromas, pear, banana, a little bit of clove. Tastes slightly bready with some pear and grape sweetness from esters and a fruity, slightly spicy hop profile. Medium bodied with high carbonation. I’m confused by the low overal score of this beer. It’s a solid Belgian Pale with a weird label.

500ml bottle pours a hazy golden color with a 2 finger white head that leaves some spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma is light fruity with a light citrus note. Taste is light fruity sweet with a citrusy bitter finish. Light to medium body with lots of carbonation providing a nice tingle on the tongue. A nicely done Belgian strong ale, but there are better ones to be had.

Bottle. Golden color, white foam. Aroma is nothing special. Reminds me of a pale lager. Quite smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is a bit watery, "standard" beer and does not last long. Compared to Sloeber, there certainly are more worse beers out there than better ones, but this is not a beer I will have again.

Bottle. Golden, hazy, average to large and mostly diminishing head. Moderate, malty - wheaty and sweetish aroma, some caramel and some fruitiness, light spiciness (coriander, light pepper), faint hoppyness. Body is medium, malty - some wheat and sweetish flavor, some caramel and light fruitiness. Finish is average, malty - some wheat and lightly sweetish, light caramel and light fruitiness, light spiciness and light hoppyness, light alcohol. Lightly sweetish strong ale - light alcohol/spiciness make finish bit drier. Anyway, quite one-dimensional.

Draft at Brussels Beer Festival. Pours hazy golden with a bubbly white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, light citrus and light malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft to medium carbonation.

330ml bottle. Pours light gold with a medium, frothy head. Aroma is light lemon and yeast with some candy sugars. Taste has sharp citrus to start. Yeasty lemon finish.

purs very very light ( half a bottle 33 cl cause i used a small glass, maybe less clear when poured fully ) in a yelowish-see-trough kinda colour. foam is fading quite fast, yet not extremely. smell reminds me of a sweetness you can also find in la chouffe. taste definetly has that, yet its totaly not a la chouffe..it has some kinde of mini-aftertaste that kinda reminds me of some other beer... i think karmeliet ( not sure on this one) carbonation is again, too much for my taste, but not extreme at all... overall a nice beer if you like chouffe and karmeliet, thats not super intresting, yet not pushing the boundries too far so you dont like it... i think everybody could drink it, but it wouldnt be anybodys favourite...

A-- Poured a clear, golden straw color. Lots of visible carbonation. Poured a big, cloud white head that slowly faded to under a finger in height. Lots and lots of sticky, thick lacing. Excellent head retention. S-- Citrus, sour grape tart and a bit of a bread smell. Smells are clean and a bit on the faint side. T-- Spices, bread and a bit of a soda pop grape taste. Different but not bad. Not very bold but good. M-- High carbonation, a little bit of bitterness from the spices but the grape taste is what sets this out. Feels and tastes a lot like a grape soda but soft. Finishes clean and pretty crisp. O-- Solid, workable Belgian style beer

fles 33cl kleur: goud geel, helder. Enorme witte schuimkraag. geur: fris, citrus, hop smaak: niet fris, hop, beetje straf. Veel koolzuur.
