Lochristi, Belgium

Golden warm-yellow beer with nice beige head. Soft aroma’s of sweet malts and touches of fresh cakes a little spices aswell. Smooth taste with some fruityness in it. Sweet malts in the taste some touches rice crackers and some fruits.

Nice blond beer with hazy orange shine and big light colored foan. Smooth and sweetish taste with cake accents. Also spices in the taste and hints of fruit like apple, and citrus fruits. A good beer.

Bottle at Brugs Beertje, Bruges. Very delicious, smooth blond beer - Saison like in it’s balance. Cake, wheat, tempered sweetness. Full flavoured and enjoyable.

Bottle. A gift from a trip to Belgium. Cloudy orange color with a foamy white head. A light fruit, apple, citrus, and bubble gum aroma. A dry and spicy flavor.

Draft. Cloudy yellow with a big yeasty citrus & coriander aroma. Banana and malty sweetness. Nice lacing throughout but a thin watery finish.

Draught

The beer pours a slightly hazy orange-yellow color with a smallish bright white head that is semi-creamy in texture, and the lace a rather thin veil to conceal the glass. Nose is somewhat sweet, orange peel and coriander along with a strong scent of yeast, citrus like crispness, start is sweet and sour, mild malt profile with a rather slender feel to the top. finish is persistent in its a acidity, the hops forthright and the aftertaste somewhat bitter, dry a bleached desert bone, a fair to middling beer, certainly not the best beer I've ever had from Belgium, but then not the worst either.

Bottle conditioned. Gold, moderate rocky white head, and good condition. Good honey aromas mixed with Pilsen like hops. More honey sweetness in the mouth, delicate hop flavour and a good yeastiness. Dry and pleasantly hop bitter in the finish, slight soapiness developing towards the end.

Hazy golden color; creamy head. Nice malty aroma; mature. Quite smooth, malty; dryer at the end, well balanced by the bitterness, but a light metallic note.
