Quinten (954), zaandam, Netherlands Sep 22, 2009 At vonk slijterij zaandam, bottle 330ml, amber, medium lasting head, lots of sweets, toast, caramel, some spices, nice one. Bloekie (149), Belgium Aug 20, 2009 The aroma is nothing to write home about. Appearance is that of a clear amber beer. Flavor is really nice, with a palate that goes from sweetness to soury and a really bitter hoppy finish. Enjoyable!

Plenty of malt aroma. Some carbonation. Amber coloured and strong in alcohol with a crisp and slightly dry malt finish. DougShoemaker (2855), Toronto, Canada Jun 25, 2009 Bottle @ Smokeless Joe.
Aroma is red pitfruit, malt with some citrus notes, clear, light copper, pours a small custard head. Taste is good malt, red plums and mild almonds. Light bodied, balanced, bitter and dry. Good. cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada May 15, 2009 250ml bottle

I tried this beer on April 30, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beered poured a translucent golden-brown with a thin white head. The aroma was sweet malt, some grain, and some citrusy notes. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, some sweet sugary hints, and a nice bitter finish.
OleR (2007), Oslo, Norway Apr 7, 2009 330 ml bottle from Belgium Beers, Antwerp. A thick greyish head resting on a golden brown colored body. Sugary aroma; grains, caramel and sweet bread. Very sweet-flavored with both a fruity and malty sweetness. Modest bitterness. Sticky texture. Dries up a bit in the finish. Three tads too sweet, not a favorite. yngwie (4880), Kristiansand, Norway Mar 31, 2009 Bottle, thx to OleR. It pours a golden color with some carbonation, and a big, creamy, off-white head. Some butterscotch on the nose, with caramel, some grains and a rather unpleasant sweetish, puke-like scent. Sweet, malty flavor with roasted malts and some butterscotch. Drier towards finish. Much much fruityness going on. Some hoppy bitterness. Dry, full-bodied. Quite bitter finish with plenty of residual sugars. A strange beer. The aroma isn’t interesting at all, but the flavor is quite all right. Can’t see me returning to this one. (090312) Lubiere (4463), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Mar 26, 2009 A dark amber ale with a thick light moka head. A light malty aroma with caramel and light fruity esters. In mouth, a Belgian vienna, a bit nutty, with light oxidation and hops. So-so. BB 26-06-10. Bottle at Smokeless Joes, March 23, 2009.
