Urthel Tonicum Finiboldhus

Brouwerij De Leyerth
Brewed at De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Ruiselede, Belgium

Cloudy amber color; frothy head. Good ale, quite malty, with some caramel, round mouthfeel, with a late fruitness. Sweet and malty.

Nice citrusy aroma. The color is hazy golden with a nice white head. The taste is citrus and yeast. A little to bitter imho.

(bottle) Orange-amber color, I couldn't determine clarity because I had a "gusher". Spicy, peach and bready aroma. Largish medium bodied ale leads with thick malt with caramel, fruit, spicy alcohol and candi sweetness. Firm bitterness and a flavorful long finish with persistent toasty malt. Complex, full, and excellent.

my 1000th rating. this looks exactly like the other Urthel beer i rated right before. Orange and hazy. thin head. Aroma was a tad different though..a little subdued chewy apricots...sugar, fudge?..hmmm...yeasty flavor profile...cob-webs? tangerine skins...yeast...a little bitterness...I'm just really anxious to hear my 1000th rating song that will play right about now....

This beer had a small sized off-white head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly dissipated.The body was carbonated and cloudy with an orange hue.The nose was malty, fruity, spicy, sweet and a hint of floral hops.The flavor was sweet, sour, somewhat tart and fruity.The palate was very smooth and somewhat watery and thin with a light-medium body.The lacing was fair with this beer.

This brew put up a fight right from the get go. Before I could even get the top off it was foaming up and out the bottle with the cap still on it. It took me 6 minutes to get the damn cap off! Finally I was able to pour the remainder into my mug. The head is still settling down. Talk about long lasting! It was made up of fine to medium sized off-white colored bubbles. And did I mention they were long lasting? Hmmm? Finally it has diminished and left behind a fair lacing and a softly carbonated yeasty hazy orange brown colored body. The aroma is of a nice belgian strong with notes of fruit, malt, and vinuous alcohol. The mouthfeel was very smooth and doughy with a mild tingle to it and a lingering dough finish. The flavor was doughy with notes of spice and very mild clove. Very mellow and interesting flavor.

Huge cream-coloured, dense head; hazy orange beer, lively carbonation. Fresh-herbal & spicey nose. Pine-like hops, aroma like a herbal, yes, alcoholic tonicum. Taste both very spicey and hoppy, but sweet underbuild by roasted hops, toast-like. Whiff of honey flavour. Each new sop gives a lemony restart. Medium bodied. Alcohol's there, but subdued. Misses a longer aftertaste. Honesty compells me to concede I like this beer better and better. I think it's still being developped. This 75cl sample virtually even misses the Van Steenberge thumbprint, bravo!

Attractive hop aroma (styrian goldings?). Hop juice character, tastes dry-hopped. Shimmering malt beneath a good strong hopping. A hint of bubblegum and honey. Excellent belgian blonde.
