bottle, bought in carrefour. yellow coloured beer with unstable white head. Smell: yeasty. Taste: very yeasty, some grainy and sweet malts. Industrial and very heavy beer. Not really my thing ..

33cl Premier essaie à une bière de lin, et il y a en effet une note tant à l’arôme que au goût qui ajoute un profile de grains assez doux. Une légère note de caramel avec un fini sucré en retrait. Le tout avec un malt carapils/munich rappelant un profile pils/métallique. Intéressant comme idée.

750 ml bottle a golden yellow colored beer with a white head aroma malts spicy yeast and hops flavor malts apple orange yeast spicy sweetness and some hops

Clear yellow colour with a firm but small head. Smells sweet like a hefeweizen, some banana notes. Tastes like banana, sweet and wort. Very bubbly beer.

Bottle @ home shared with DutchDrebus. Clear yellow color, large slightly lacing white head. Not much smell, just a little banana and somewhat like hefeweizen. Too sweet, way too sweet and too high carbonation. Medium body.

330ml bottle picked up at a fresh food store. Naked surface to a near-clear, golden body. Malt-fruity aroma. Sweet passion fruit in flavour mixed with caramel malts and wheat. Foamy in the mouth. Rather unvaried (hotel room, Brugge 05.05.2011).

Surprisingly very good beer using flax-seeds, it seems. Loved it very much, haven’t found it often since I’ve tried it.

Light and clear. Very heavy yeast dominates aroma, there’s some glass, peach in the background. Taste is sweet from the sugar and alcohol. but fairly balanced by the hops. Interesting drink but it seems underdeveloped somehow. Nice alcohol back up. (Bought in Poperinge.)
