Bottle provided by Olivier at the 4/17/05 Montreal tasting. HEAVILY sedimented and unfiltered, chunky, hazy golden-yellow beer, with an initially small white head that immediately recedes to ring then nothing. Aroma of wheat, vanilla, pils malt (honey, light corn), husky malt shells, bland nectarines, spongecake, more wheat and tons of drying, bland yeast. Flavor starts out with yeast chewiness, tons of wheat, light hints of lemon and honey. Some notes of corn-like lager flavors and a touch of cream. But take all that and add about a gallon of water to it. Horribly watery, flat body, perhaps the most watery Belgian beer I can remember drinking. This can’t be a good sample. . .It’s funny though, I kept remarking how this, taken as a blond ale, or a pale lager, would get a tremendously high rating. Unfortunately this is a tarwebok or some version of that, not a pale lager or blond ale. . .
