Nov 7, 2007 330ml bottle served in a Chimay chalice. Aroma is mild to moderate brett (barnyard), citrus, and light honey/caramel. I think it smells great, akin to Orval. Gold colored with a wispy head and light, but persistent carbonation. A small amount of yeast stays with the bottle. Tatse is tasty brett (barnyard/horseblanket), citrus (lemon), mildly earthy, minerally taste along with some nice, firm malt backing. Finishes dry, somewhat thin, but not too bad at all. My rating appears to be much higher than most, maybe I got an infected bottle? If so, thanks!
I seem to get brett character out of several Van Steenberge beers.

Jan 6, 2008 Cloudy muddy brown color with a tiny ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass. Minimal aroma of dates and some dough. Flavor is very understated and almost water-like, just a bit of tart fruit then an empty palate. Slightly astringent. Medium bodied with decent carbonation. An odd little beer to say the least.

Jul 26, 2007 it is light - but not too light. it has a real refreshing and spicy character about it. it is bitter and fruity, almost lemony. it is also a bit chalky. nice light pure white head on a light golden brew. it has a kind of vegetable touch that fades to the fruit and grains, i find that appealing. this is a good country brew. i was mildy surprised.

Mar 20, 2004 Golden amber body, huge tan head. Aroma is very interesting; woody/roasty with some sweetness as well. Unfortunately, the flavor is extremely watery and bland, some carbonated bite and a lingering malty finish. Too bad.

Aug 22, 2004 11.2 oz. / 330 ml. brown Belgian stubbie bottle. Cryptic date code on the back label, and that’s about it for a freshness date. Part of a Belgian six pack sampler I got at Rips. Poured out a dark caramel color, with a decent, but short lived white head. The head slid back to a decent matting of lacing floating on top of the beer. Thick aromas of malts along with the spicy Belgian yeast makes for a delicious experience. This is a decent beer, even though the ABV is lower than it’s bigger brothers. The tastes are definitely there, and leave you wanting more. More than decent in my book.
Try some for yourself.
