SVD (92) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 2, 2013
33CL bottle at home, it says its mother beer is Augustijn but since I haven’t had any of those beers I don’t know if it tastes the same, for me this beer OK, but nothing special.

Grzesiek79 (2363) - Radom, POLAND - MAR 22, 2013
Przecietne i srednie piwo, liczylem na wiecej i spodziewalem sie lepszych wrazen. piwo mnie zawiodlo w kazdej postaci, zarowno malej i pecherzykowatej pianie, malo trwalej i takze wygladem plynu, malo metny i jasny jak na belgijskie ale. smak drazniaco rozwodniony, alkoholowy i gazowany. nie polecam

cagou007 (149) - FRANCE - FEB 6, 2013
Great amber colour with a medium white head. Aromas are grassy, yeast and citrus. Bitter, with a small watery fnish. Quite disappointing.

thanatosti (587) - NETHERLANDS - JAN 2, 2013
33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Golden yellow with a thin white head. Grainy sweet aroma. Bittersweet taste with some noticable alcohol at the end. Bittersweet aftertaste and medium carbonation. Not really bad but a bit too flat and too alcoholic to be really good.

turbothy (1007) - Bonn, GERMANY - OCT 10, 2012
Pours light amber with small, uneven head. Alcoholic aroma, not particularly inviting. Flavour is mostly alcohol, a bit of malt bit mouthfeel is on the thin side. Not a very convincing beer.

MrW (228) - Londerzeel, BELGIUM - SEP 18, 2012
33cl bottle. Bitter aroma, flowers, metals. Orangered colour, huge white lasting head. Taste grassy, herbs, a bittersweet finish. Watery feeling.

FatPhil (7498) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - SEP 5, 2012
330ml bottle (La Trappiste, Canterbury)
Classic belgian aroma. Super soft mellow body, no spikes, no flaws, and very little sign of 8%. Classic Steenberg at their best. Slips down very smoothly. Gentle bready roast, a touch sweet, some subtle aromatic floral hops. Not exactly brimming with character, but it’s such an easy drinker. Kind of like Leffe condensed down to 8%.
