Mar 7, 2008
Bottle with a best before date of 26/09/07. Large frothy, fizzy white head that mostly diminished with a lot of floaties, cloudy, very little carbonation, and a golden hue. Nose was malty, hoppy, pepper, sweet, spicy and some clove. Flavor was sweet, bitter, spicy,and hoppy. Mouthfeel was fairly smooth and somewhat tingly. Medium body. Quaffable, good for the style and a beer that I will drink again if it comes my way.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle: Poured a golden color with a huge off white head. Aroma is citrus fruit along with spices and yeast. Taste was suprisingly malty but subsided to have that sweet fruit and spice. Finish is dry and hoppy.

Jul 14, 2008 33cl bottle from KIngdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy caramel yellow with a thin white, creamy head that settles rapidly. Little glass lacing. Aroma is citrus, spice, lemon, yeast, fresh bread. Flavor is slightly sweet, somewhat tart with fresh fruit flavors, vanilla, bready yeast, and some subtle spiciness. Lively carbonation with a slightly sweet, quick finish.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle with "Heylissem" on the label. A rather unexciting style perhaps, but easy to drink and quite solid. Dark golden/orange pour, and mine was quite cloudy (in contrast to some other raters’ experience). Even some yeasty bits floating around. Abundant off-white head. Yeasty, malty mild apricot nose. More of the same with a bit of spice on the tongue. Surely won’t blow anyone away, but for a solid, low-alcohol everyday Belgian, this is your beer. Perhaps a good ’food beer.’

May 20, 2008 Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with orange peel and spicy notes. Sweet yeasty flavor with fruity notes and a spicy finish.
