JorisPPattyn (7312) - Antwerpen, - FEB 4, 2012
Draught Head gone, lacey; clear golden beer. Straw, very dry, but fresh pale malts. The same in taste: sweet, fresh pale malts, maltbomb. Bit toasted in the finish. Malt/grist slickness. Medium bodied, seems more than suggested by the ABV. Unexpected (and) good!

Sigmund (4222) - Tau, NORWAY - MAY 24, 2013
On tap at Copenhagen Beer Festival 2013. Golden colour, moderate white head. Fairly strong sweetish aroma of Belgian ale yeast and white kandij sugar syrup, some mild spicy and grassy notes. The flavour is mildly spicy with tolerable hops, and not too sweet. Not of trappist quality, but a fairly decent Belgian all the same.

Pawola22 (3110) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 26, 2013
On tap at Bierkaart Cafe Kandinsky in Tilburg, Holland. Pours a clear yellow-gold colored body with a finger-width, creamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing throughout. Aroma is mash-like sweet with some grains, bread, a nice fruity citrus, touches of caramel, and a balanced grass. Flavor is similar. Grainy and bready malts with a mash-like caramel sweetness, a nice grassy element, a solid fruitiness, and a bit of a yeasty spice. Finishes dry and on the bitter side, but balanced well with a nice, light, clean malt sweetness. Lengthy aftertaste following a smooth, medium body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a pretty solid beer. Clean and bitter with a nice malt backing and a pleasant fruitiness. Good one.

Draft @ de Paas. Clear blonde beer white head on top, decent lacing. Aroma is yeasty, typical Belgian, light spicey. Flavor is mildly sweet with a bitter aftertaste. This is just another Belgian ale for me, nut much more to add..

mutz (294) - NETHERLANDS - APR 6, 2013
Van de tap @ de klep Venlo. ABT bier van de maand. blond bier met een kraag van fijn schuim dat snel verdwijnt tot een randje op het bier. Weinig te ruiken, een beetje mout. Smaakt vrij dun en redelijk zoetig, niks spannends.
