Jun 25, 2007 The aroma has a tint of citrus behind the hop. At first the flavor is fresh the hops gives it a bit of tones from flowers. I must admit the palate and appearance is not good, it’s like a pilsener, but the flavor is nice so is the aroma.

Jun 23, 2007 The dominant bitterness from the hop makes this beer stand out from ordinary Pilsener-typed beer. This bitter is definately a try if you worship the hoppy taste. :-)

Jun 19, 2007 Updated: Jan 5, 2008This is an excellent beer that perfectly balances it’s bitter hoppiness with a smooth malty flavor.

Jun 19, 2007 A very hoppy beer. I love this one. The bitterness of the taste is splendid. Drunk it as well from draft as bottle.

Jun 17, 2007 Updated: Dec 3, 2007330ml, bottled January ’06. Hazy honey-blond body, light white head. Hoppy aroma with a hint of brett... This should be interesting. Wow, yeah. You can immediately tell that De Ranke knows how to mash a beer, as individual grains come through in the flavor with perfect clarity. Delicious. Perfectly hopped(grassy/herbal) with assertive bitterness yet showing restraint, which most American hop fanatics may find hard to appreciate. I don’t know if this is really the hoppiest beer of Belgium, though I wouldn’t be surprised since they don’t typically have quite the love affair with hops that Americans do. Whatever. It works. And to top it all off, of course, that big signature hay/barnyard brett funkiness. Everything in perfect balance, each component complimenting and playing off of the other in harmony. If you really love good beers, then this just has to be experienced. Though not for sweet tooths(teeth?), very dry.

Jun 11, 2007 750 mL bottle. Clear golden amber with champagne bubbles and a thick fluffy white head. Aroma slightly sour with notes of barn yard. Silky thick bright palate. A good hoppy bitterness intermingled with a honey flavor and finishing slightly dry with a lingering hoppy perfume. A damn fine Belgian.

Jun 11, 2007 Bottle, some place close to Genoa, Italy. Surprised to find good Belgian beer by the Italian coast, but there you have it... This is firmly hoppy with a nice Belgian yeastiness to it. Didn’t pick up any of the brett however..

Jun 11, 2007 Stop #3 on my Cedric-led hop tour at Poechenellekelder in Brussels. It just keeps getting hoppier. I was very happy with this beer, and it was hoppy - but well balenced. I have seen this one in the States.
