Style: Belgian Ale
Beerzel, Belgium

Bottle, 33cl - Hazy golden orange beer with a brief white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of passion fruit, strawberry juice and zesty tropical fruit. Flavor is lightly fruit with notes of yeast, straw, citrus and spices. The flavor is not so typical Belgian styled but rather dry and pale ale like, quite interesting.

33cl Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Muddy orange amber colour, white head. Aroma of butterscotch, toffee, fruits and yeast. Flavour is fruity, caramel, malty, light smoky/burnt notes, light sourness, yeast, bitter finish. Medium bodied. Just OK.

Bottle, bought @ Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Pours slightly muddy orange-amber with a fine, staying, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has a good yeasty fruity balance. Some red apples, raspberries and caramel malts. Light Belgian sugar. Medium carbonation, fine light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has a light metallic edge, but some good maltiness, fine balanced bitterness and a good yeasty edge. Oranges, red apples and caramel dominate with a slight touch of chocolate and hops at the end.

At De Heeren Van Liedekercke
Cloudy amber color; medium creamy head. It has a wonderful malt aroma, grainy, some hop, honey. The body is dry and thin, there is some papery malt flavor, but less interesting. Correct bitterness, the final is dry, without sweetness, too light; the yeast gives a light harsh touch. Good.

Bottle. The aroma is fruity, strong smell of bread, also some citrus. The head is white, medium large and foamy with a normal duration. The body is cloudy and dark orange. The taste is light bitter, very soft metallic. It is very dry in the mouth, the finish is very long and mild. The beer is creamy, medium strong and has a normal carbonation.

Slightly hazy amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is perfumed herbal and juniper, with a touch of sweet malt. Dry and malty with a somewhat cloying spice not working for me.

33cl bottle @ DHVL. Pours cloudy amber with a creamy white head. Nose is hops and spices. Caramel and yeast. Smooth palate. A bit of earth, mould, hops and pepper in the end. Nice.

Bottled at Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a shady pale amber colour with a creamy lastibg white foam. Quite elegant hops in the aroma of mild flowers, wet gras and spices. Medium-bodied with aromatic hoppy notes of pepper, flowers, grass and orange-peels on a fragile malty backbone of caramel. Dryish, not overly hoppy finish of white pepper, grass and spices with small hints of cocoa and caramel. An interesting session beer.
