Duyck St. Druon de Sebourg

33 cl bottle. Poured hazy light amber with a frothy white head, leaving crosses of lacing. Aroma of yeasty dough with some apricot and orange. Flavor best described as orange scone--lightly sweet dough dotted with orange zest. Maybe some apricot as well. Slightly musty finish. Nothing offensive, though problematically the body and flavor is kind of muddled by a floury pastiness.

Clear yellow colour with a large frothy white head. Malty, sweet and fruity aroma with a vague acidic and floral note. Sweet fruity flavor with a perfume note. Light dry finish.

Cloudy amber appearance with a medium size, off white head and good lacing. Funky, yeasty aroma with fruity malts and a honeyish sweetness. Sweet malt taste, accented by crisp fruits, along with some spicyness. Tart, fairly dry finish. More appreciative of this one the 2nd time around.

Very light and extremely hazy in the glass with a fleeting head. Aromas are floral and spicy. A bit of hops and a hint of apricot on the flavor. Alcohol shows through a bit and it finishes sweet. Some bready aspects throughout. Not a bad biere de garde, but not a good one, either.

75 cl. It’s stale with a lot of carbonation and a weak aroma. The flavour is stale with weak floral notes of clover and citrus. Boring and I have to give up before the bottle is empty...

Dark gold, thin white suds. Some sesame nuttiness, metal and coriander in the nose. Quite a pleasantly dry, metallic, faintly spicy Belgian wannabe.

Bottle 12 oz. A hazed golden color with a white head. A sweet, honey and fruity apple aroma. Sickly sweet and rather annoying over ripe fruit flavors.

Pours a three finger white head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Pale cloudy amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Sweet spicey nose. Has a sweet orange start, slight malty finish. Bottled Jul 2005. $1.39 for a 330ml bottle from John’s Grocery Iowa City, IA.
