Brewed by Brouwerij De Koninck
Style: Belgian Ale
Antwerpen, Belgium

(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.

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.

Draught At Pub Italia, Ottawa. Poured clear amber with a big rocky-creamy off-white lasting head. Aroma of yeast, raisins/apples, mild hops, light roast malt and a bit of wheat. Flavour of mild sweet malt, some fruit, sourish grains, citrus - quite smootth with hops notable in the finish. Palate very balanced, not complex, creamy. Overall a terrific quencher and great with food.

well balanced ale. for some reason i always end up buying bigger belgians and ignoring some of the lighter more subtle brews that can often be just as satisfying. this tasted good with a light tartness to it.

Poured cloudy dark amber with a minimal head, but with an abundance of floaties, maybe due to it being 12 months out of date! The dusty aroma contains some spice, toffee and muscatels. The flavour is well balanced, sweet with some good finishing bitterness. A medium bodied palate with a decent lasting aftertaste. This beer certainly fights above it’s weight of 5%, with plenty of flavour.

Poured like a semi carbonated Maudite. Not a very defined taste, but pretty good and smooth. Dark fruits with a malty fix. Couldn’t really point out any distinctive fruits like plum or raisin or even banana.....The reviews below are really true. Fairly good, but nothing distinctive.

On tap at Toronado. This reddish-brown ale poured with a short white head that dissipated quickly, eliciting a funky, malty aroma. The flavor was quite pleasant but not distinctive.

Reddish, but clear, in the glass with a half inch of white head. Figs, perfume and raisin on the nose, along with some faint, rich malt aromas. A bit sour on tasting and a little bitter. Some fruit, but not very much stands out. While quaffable, this palate was mixed and short. Its sourness helps the ale stand apart.
