3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 22, 2009 Re-ratet 2009 at Cafe Belgique in Amsterdam (on tap). Muddy orange body with a descent off-white head. Aroma is citric fruity and spicy. Flavor is refreshing fruity with a citric acidity, coriander, herbs, yeast, malt and some hops. Balanced sweetness and fine finish. Reminds me of a spicy saison, much better than last time a sampled this some years ago.

330 ml bottle. I know for sure this beer is supposed to be a lot better than this, and something is wrong with this bottle. Then again it passed the control and where sold so this is the beer I have to base my rating on. (this rating has been laying around in my drawer for at least one year) Will re-rate as soon as the opportunity comes again. Hazy orange beer with a white head. Unpleasant aroma of mould and sewer. Flavor is malty and harsh bitter with an acidulous dominance.

Bottle. First taste was repulsive but after few sips it turns to be one very interesting beer. Doesn’t have pleasant smell. Sour aroma, herbal notes. Citrusy fruits, fermented grape mostly. Quite spicy. Yeasty. Hazy orange-brown body.

On tap at Cafe Belgique in Amsterdam. Really citrusy taste, sour almost. But also very crisp. Well-worth searching out, a very good drink.

Bottle, De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Consumed on the rattler heading down to Brussels. Cloudy amber colour with a big ol’ white head. Spicy, yeasty aroma and flavour. A bit of herbiness (or is that just me after a fruitful trip to Grey area). Some hop bitterness into a lingering dry finish. A little on the booozy side and something about this I didn’t quite warm to . Oh well.

Bottle. Cloudy brown beer with a very strong head. The aroma is sour, burn’t and dry, and the flavour is very bitter, slightly spiced and sour. Overall quite an average beer.

Amsterdam 08. BottleS from bierkoning. They both poured a hazy brown with a big tanned head. They where both overcarbonated. First one was really infected, it smelled of horseblanket and wee. I went back to the shop and bought another bottle - that one was also infected but not quite as much. Both totally drainpours. When will I grow balls and complain when they sell me infected beers?
