NobleSquirrel (1094), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 16, 2005 Reminded me a lot of a clean golden pale ale. I can see why this is an everyday drink in antwerp. Nice and sweep with just enough hop character. Nice. MoritzF (4856), Bochum, Germany Oct 16, 2005 (bottle) Clear copper colour with a foamy off-white medium head. Toast malty and fruity nutty aroma with yeasts. Smooth malty taste with chestnuts, dry and slightly bitter finish with notes of liquorice. A really nice Ale. MrManning (1634), London, Ontario, Canada Oct 16, 2005 On tap at the ALex P Keaton, in London, Ontario. Mahogony body, thick mocha head remionding me of whipped cream. Aromas are faint, but pleasant. Lots of malt, some bready wafts, molasses, and some off caramel. FLavours struck me as odd for a belgian ale. BItters, and prunes, with some yeasty flavours. The bitterness threw me off, as I wasn’t expecting it in a belgian. Bitter finish, smooth mouthfeel. REminds me more of an ESB than a BA. Good. scotty (828), Scotland Oct 9, 2005 Good tawny colour, off white head is tight & compact, lasts well. Nose is dominated by malt, but the palate is much lighter than expected, still nice tho’.The finish is slightly sweet, with a hop/fruit character. 79p Asda. pivnizub (4949), Bochum, Porúří, Germany Oct 8, 2005 Bottle: Amber coloured, thin but lasting off-white head; malty and a bit fruity nose (cinnamon ?), light mild malty taste, slightly dry, mild malty finish with a little hoppiness. A very soft, well rounded brew. Magicdave6 (5383), London, Greater London, England Sep 30, 2005 Wasnt sure what to expect here. Aroma is malty, just raw maltyness. Taste is nutty like a brown ale almost but seriously malty, i wonder if there is any hops in this fellow, but towards the end u start to feel the minimal hops, not that im looking for them. Seems to me that im drinkin a bock here with ale written on it? Odeed (1666), Bakersfield, California, USA Sep 25, 2005 (on tap @ toronado)light brown body with small lacing from the head.flavor and smell were bolth of sweet malts and belgian style yeast.pretty boring actually. Retorp (2154), Tampa, Florida, USA Sep 23, 2005 Fruity aroma with hints of baking cake. Light amber in color with athin lifeless head. Thin fore followed by some citrus hop notes that meld into more mellow flavors like raisin, bread and mild spice. Still manages to feel light and alcoholic though for all those heavy flavors and low abv.
