(Bottle 25 cl) Amber coloured with a decent, off-white head - some haze. Sweetish malt, a touch of caramel with a fine, moderate hoppy finish. Nice. But have to agree with lachesis - this is no sour ale. Peter Crombecq defined it as an "extra" - a not too strong ale that doesn’t fit into most other categorie. We should just label it "Belgian Ale" I believe. 081197

Red ale. Aroma not noticeable. At first impression it’s malty and sweet, then, slowly, the bitter palate takes its place.

Bottle at Cambrinus, Bruges. Cloudy dark copper, thin off white head. Orange peel/tangerine. I thought it was ok.

Brown-bronze beer with golden highlights; fast gone white, irregulatr head. Quite spicy nose, coriander to the fore, and initially some other, fresh-smelling herb. Certainly NOT camphor! Coriander, sweet caramel on toast. Oh, and coriander, next to gingerbread spices. Sweet. And coriander... Light-ish MF, quite slick, even a bit sticky after some time. Overcoriandered. Generally much more spicy than I remember from long ago. Difficult to find, too.

Bottled. Citric sourness, grapefruit aroma. Amber color, large beige head, good lace, lots of bubbles. Pretty sweet, fruity, malty, bit earthy/yeasty, none of the citrus or sourness back in the flavor, little sticky. Very drinkable although too sweet.
