Hazy orangy red, at first fizzy head, settles to soemthing lighter and more persistent. Sweet malty aroma. Sweet malty taste, slightly nutty bitterness, quite crisp peppery hops and some spicyness from the yeast. Some sourness there too. Kind of like a sweet weak blond, a bit gutless for a Belgian ale. (Had twice, a year apart, came to same conclusion both times.) Horribly over-rated. Fin (3495), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 10, 2008 Bottle at home, picked this up from Dranken Geers, near Gent, Belgium 03-03-08, drank 09-03-08 Soft summer fruits are the theme here. This beer was sweeter than I expected with barely a hint of tang or sourness at all. Poured reddy/light brown colour bit hazy with a small head a very slight sourness on the nose. The carbonation was quite mellow and on second taste there was some lychee and tropical fruits steeped in watery syrup. I liked this, it’s not at all what I expected but it was really interesting and quite different. FrankJohansen (3398), Århus-Randers Crew, Denmark
