330ml bottle. thanks xnoxhatex for sharing! pours hazed golden with fluffy white head. nose is yeasty, bready, and some pepper. flavor is much of the same. really balanced, sessionable, and tasty. not sure what’s not like about these contract beers.

Subtle, friendly, and approachable beer that is also shy in revealing much of itself. Quaffable stuff tho.

Clear gold beer. White creamy head. Hop and spicy aroma. The taste is more dominated by sweet maltiness. Some yeast as well. Notes of hopbitterness. Very soft aftertaste.

Bottle, 33 cl bottled in march 06. (by Bio Planet) Gold-amber color, big dark white head. Hint of aroma is grainy. Medium Bodied. Round, grainy taste little bitterness. Hoppy aftertaste. Some yeast also; just a touch of alcohol. LIKES THIS BEER VERY MUCH ! Tatse this before at nov. 05, but this one is better.

33cl bottle
Consumed at Drie Fonteinen, Beersel, May 2006
Has a murky, juicy peach colored body, with structured, gridded vertical lines of bubbles in a medium-sized head. Sweet honey in the flavor, some slick, wet candy sugar and sweet wheat yeast evident. Nose is doughy, yeasty, with some liquer-like honey scents... overall an OK beer, but a bit too simple, and a bit too sweet.

Bottle (sent by Yogi_Beera !): Hazy, deep golden to light amber coloured, small, quite stable off-white lacing head; spicy, sweet fruity nose (lemons, oranges, orange-peel) with a wheaty touch; sweet flavour, a bit sourish, robust "medium-sized body"; sweet-fruity, a bit warming finsh. A weel rounded, moreish one - maybe a little bit too much of "beet-suiker" ;-) !

I asked for this at the 3 Fonteinen restaurant and was told, that it was sold out, but fortunately for me Armand Debelder was on site, so he retrieved it for me somewhere - thanks.

A hazy orange beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of yeast and malt. The flavor is very sweet and again with strong notes of both yeast and malt, leading to a dry end that also has some light notes of grass. A solid Belgian Strong Ale.

33 cl bottle, bottled in January 05. Peach coloured, muddy appearance, fluffy white head. The first hint of an aroma is grainy, a day or two old bread. Then fruity scents (tangerines, raisins) pierce through. Round, grainy taste with bitter background - a sort of grapefruit-like bitterness, rather than hoppy. Hops do appear timidly in the aftertaste. Some yeast also; just a touch of alcohol. Well carbonated.
