| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 1, 2009 Bottle, shared by HenrikSoegaard at his place. It’s an almost clear, golden beer topped by a fluffy two-finger white head. Quite resiny hoppy on the nose with some pale malts left in the background. There’s some alcohol to be found in the flavor, but resiny hops over a layer of pale malts dominate. Spicy too, but the flavor is a bit one-dimensional and warming maybe. Effervescent, dry and medium to full body. It rounds off with a fine bitterness. A decent hop-driven Belgian, but lacking something. 090821 SaintMatty (1236), Tallinn, Estonia

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 10, 2009 (Bottled) Clear yellow-golden with a large head (gushing a bit). Aroma of grassy hops, honeyish, pale-malty fruitiness and hints of pear. Pear-fruity, honey-pale-malty flavor with a touch of acidity and alcohol, and some grassy hops in the finish. Medium body, very foamy carbonation. Like Duvel with more hops and less alcohol, but not quite in balance. I didn’t think it was too sweet, but I could do with less foam.
