May 30, 2005 Poured from the bottle and coupled with Wild Boar & Chimay Sausages. A pale brown with a good coverage of head - which laced beautifully down the glass. Aroma was a pleasant sweet malt. One downside was that it was TOO COLD (what a sin), so difficult to get out any flavours, except for the malt. It did melt on the tounge though, not as in your face as some other belgium beers. Also had a nice amount of bitterness.

Dec 12, 2005 On tap at Firkin’s, Libertyville, IL. Fresh keg. Clear amber ale having a long-lasting large white head with good lacing. Fruity and sweet malt aromas. Medium bodied that starts with sweet malt and toffee flavors. Finishes with light malt aftertaste. No discernable hop or bitterness. This is a good drinkable session beer.

Feb 26, 2007 Dry, bitter, session beer. Good malty flavour and some sweetness on the lips. Easy drinking and inexpensive.

Dec 31, 2002 Thin is my first adjective. Not particularly anything in particular. If you rate it on Belgian beer standards, that is.

Oct 2, 2001 Updated: Jan 2, 2009Bottled. Hoppy aroma. Copper color, off-white head, very nice lace. Light sweet, pretty hoppy, light herbal, light fruity. Reminded me of an english style ale. Didn’t have this one for ages. Didn’t like it before but now I had it again I can really appreciate it.

Jun 5, 2005 Pours a dark reddish/brown sort of color. Aroma is sweet and reminds me a little bit of sangria. Sweet malty flavor. Tastes quite bitter. Some fruit and spice present.

Nov 23, 2001 ...on tap, at Antwerp.
Visually, a nice head of white foam topping a perfectly limpid and still brass hue.
Slighly sour-smelling, fresh, otherwise..not so much, really.
Balanced with slight bitterness, short, thirst-quenching and generally satisfying.
Here’s a typical example of an objectively low-descriptional beer offering great drinkability and super-quaffing (I know because...) So how to rate this town-brew from the great port of Antwerp? Not a ’grand’ beer, but hedonistically it’s high!
