4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle at Pre ZBF AND PZT.A hazy golden orange beer with small white head. Aroma- fruity citrus,orange peel and flowery character.
Flavour - peach, lemon and citrusy & dry with bitter flavoured finish. Some diacetyl,but as this is still a newly brewed beer which fermented very quickly (brewer info) it should loose that character after a few month and develop into a lovely beer. Alcohol is hidden very well.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
33 cl bottle tasted at the Pre-ZBF fest at Alvinne. Beer label describes this as a hazy amber ale. The name Schommelpeird means rocking horse. It was named and brewed for the Waregem Beer Festival 2009 held at the Red Path, hippodrome of Waregem. This is the biggest horse race event in Belgium.
The beer poured a hazy yellow color with a thick off white head. The nose was a bit sweet, lemony and piney as well. The taste presents a solid hop character, a bit piney, citrus but there is also a present malt backbone that makes for a very well balanced, easy to drink beer despite the abv of 12%.

Bottle at Pre ZBF, Alvinne, 06-03-09 Pours a murky, hazy yellowy colour. Quite fruity and hoppy aroma. Tastes is also quite hoppy in fact really quite hoppy, amazed at the strength, yes it is evident but I never would have guessed it at being 12%. Nice sweetness and bitterness throughout a most enjoyable beer. A7 A3 F8 P4 OV16 3.8

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Mild fruity and citrusy hops aroma, solid butterish note too. Flavour is mild fruity and hoppy. Subdued caramel malt base. Smooth peachy and light citrusy flavoured. Dry and bitter flavoured finish. Flavour does hide the diacetyl, it is distinct but somehow it doesn’t disturb the impression overly much.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Good yelllowish, stable head over hazy orange-ochre beer. Sourish aroma, like rhubarb, and C-hops, bit of ureum, and jute/burlap bales. Sweetish, perfumed as well as rosewater and C-hops, but very balanced. It is surprisingly light, nearly unbelievable for a 10%+ beer (second batch is not quite 12% as the first, Urbain tells me). Nice, with a peculiar, but impressive balance. I’m more than favourably impressed.
