Bottled. Blond colour, sparkles of a white beer. Little sweet aroma, also yeasty. Dito flavour, also a bit 'sticky' and malt.

Slightly cloudy golden color with a generous bright white head. Aroma of sour grape and a little yeast. Flavor starts tangy and spicy with some fruity tartness (grape skin, green apple) and a lightly sour dry finish. Lively carbonation complements the flavor combination.

At restaurant Napoleon in Damme afther a fine gastronomic meal. Intens gold-blond beer with a faint hazyness and a huge white head. Nice aroma’s of blond malts, honey, white stonefruits, dry cakes and hops. Mouthfeel is very lively and refreshing. It has an attack of malts, some white candy sugar, apricot, citrusskin, bread and a dry touch of fine hops. This beer has a mild-dry caracter with a good integration of the alcohol.

Bottle, LCBO Gift pack 2004. Yellow colour with large white head. Odd citrusy spice aroma...I can’t place it, like an old banana mixed with pear or something. Weird. Taste is initially boozy and then more spiciness comes through, but so does an odd, not metallic, but something close. Like a musty taste I guess. Way to carbonated mouthfeel and an unpleasant finish from the odd taste. The first of this gift pack I really didn’t enjoy.

Poured golden yellow with tight white head. Aroma of yeast, kind of like a larger. Tasted like an American large, dare I say bud, but with a pleasant spice after taste. I am not enjoying this, I am forcing myself to drink this, as my wife got it for Christmas, and I feel it might have cost some $ being Belgian and all. No, it is just not that good. I cannot recommend this, sorry. Also has a bit too much carbonation.

Very fruity aroma, with hint of spice. Finding that its growing on me and Im incresing its ratings as Im drinking it - or maybe thats just its potency getting to me!!

Pours very pale yellow with white head. Aroma is very fruity and a bit spicy at the same time. Flavor is of raisins and vodka, alcohol is quite apparent. Not a fan.
