Aug 30, 2006 If I could only drink one beer for the rest of my life, it would be this one. It is perfectly balanced -- not too light, not too heavy. The combination of the malt flavor and the saaz hops makes it taste like the barley was just cut, and it has a nice, clean and dry finish.
I’m not sure why it doesn’t rate better. This should replace Stella as the default Belgian draft beer -- drinking it out of a Bolleke is heavenly. Go to Antwerp, you can get it for under $2 a glass.

Aug 18, 2004 Bolleke-draught in the Cellar, St. Andrews. Dark amber colour and medium head. Aroma of spices, hops and fruits. Fantastic. Complex palate: yeast, coriander, hops, nuts, plums and lot more. Unforgettable experience.

Apr 12, 2001 Simply awesome. One of the world’s great session beers. Wonderful spicy, cinnamony, dusty, leathery, fruity taste. It is also remarkably drinkable, not to mention delicious. This patron beer of Antwerp, Belgium is one of my all-time favorites.

Nov 29, 2001 This rating is for my first couple of bottles which were purchased in Belgium and brought back to the US by a friend. I had an imported bottle in D.C. two days ago which I would rate around 3.5. I imagine that this beer is outstanding on tap.
