Bavik Pilaarbijter Blond

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Abbey Tripel
Harelbeke, Belgium

Bottle. Slightly hazy gold colour with a huge white head. Fruity, spicey and yeasty aroma. Quite a sharp fruity and spicey flavour. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Nice stuff.

Detection of hops in the nose as well as a little grassy, hazy pale gold color, huge merenge head. Light blond malt with a spicy middle. Hops actually come through and deposti a light bitter inside the mouth. Light body, some character, but overall fairly simple. Straighforward beer.

Great huge head which builds itself up again from the middle - great laces on the glass. Slightly sulphury nose at first when a very intense and pleasing hay nose with orange peels. Great bitter inkling, warming cinnamon and grapes. Almost like baked dry fruits.

Thanks for the sample, Nick. Poured a nice bright gold with a fluffy head at first. The aroma is fresh peaches with oranges and some cinnamon. Very much a fruit smelling beer. The taste is peaches and old pears. This also has a decent cinnamon spice finish. Strange old fruit in the finish, like warm canned peaches.

The name is the best thing about this beer. Nothing special. Really foaming head!

Bottle. A light hazed yellow color with a big creamy white head. The aroma has lemon, pepper and light candy. Dry dusty lemon, yeasty, dry, spiced and sharp (with a quick finish).

2 June 2005 - (De Yserpoort cafe - Diksmuide) - Mainly hop, low fruit aroma. Cloudy yellow light colour, good head and thick lacing. Light crisp fruit flavour. Hoppy dry finish and a bit thinnish mouthfeel. Overall it lacks character.

Bottled. Clear yellow coloured with a solid and lasting white head. Acidic aroma of fruits and spices. Acidic flavour with notes of spices and fruits. Hoppy finish.
