Style: Belgian Ale
Beersel, Belgium

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.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Hazy golden with floating impurities and a dense white head. Unpleasant sewer-like aroma. Medium body, sweet and tart with a weird phenollic tang - fairly extreme. Dry hoppy finish. This is simply not very pleasant. 111009

Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (230508)

Hazy goldenYellowish with a medium white creamy head. Sweet yeasty aroma with malty and fruity notes. Flavour was sweet and yeasty with malt, fruity and mild spicy notes.

A Mes rate Very heavy yeast and sediment. A little too much for my liking. Head vanished almost instantly. Thick, cloudy and oily. Slight hint of honey in there but to be honest I am far too overwhelmed with the yeast. Not great.

Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk.
Pours golden with a big, creamy, white head. Sweet and malty aroma with yeast and coriander. Medium carbonation, fine creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is relatively sweet, good pineapple tartness, light hops and a vinious streak. The coriander shows up here as well. Quite drinkable.

No head, clearish golden appearance among which floats a ton of UFOs. Intensely yeasty nose with wheat and corn peaks, light and tamely uninspiring. Flavor continues to shame, very low intensity, almost like a wit (and as a wit it would be simple) in its raw wheaty feel, extreme carbonation level seems to pull out whatever subtleties which could have escaped my attention, dries out a lot before moving into nothingness. Disappointing..
