fiulijn	3.2 Zulgbier das Frische Courtesy of Philippe (Bov) Deep blond color, hazy; it’s extremely carbonated, therefore it has a huge head and a persistent perlage. Light hop and malt aroma. Good mouthfeel, strong; it has some flavor characteristics of a Helles, with good dry malt, but it’s rounder. Pleasant. Wednesday, April 6, 2011

The aroma has some caramel, malt, ashes and very light dirty water, also very light fruits. Good body structure; the mouthfeel is smooth; malt and caramel flavor, quite rich for this kind of beer; balanced and with correct bitterness. In the final there is an accent of roastiness and nuts, pleasant. Maybe it lacks in freshness, but it’s enjoyable. Wednesday, April 6, 2011
fiulijn	3.7 Zulgbier 2010 Courtesy of Philippe (Bov) Cloudy orange-amber color; generous head.

Correct bitterness. This brew is very pleasant. Wednesday, April 6, 2011
