Bottle of Octo’s. Muddy peach uncapping with a gush of foam, slender dense collar dappling the glass. Smells like Lockets and flatpack; honey sweet and coniferous with medicinal orange, pine needle, eucalyptus, and initally some beany vegetal notes. A bit drab and still with discreet sprucey hop, bilious citrus, honey, metal, yadda yadda. Pretty bog standard thick yeasty Belgian.

750 ml bottle poured a hazy golden amber with a lingering ring of off white foam. Aromas of ginger, cinnamon and light carmel. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, spice, light carmel and light fruittiness with a crisp dry spiced finish.

Bottle at De Hopduvel . Pours a bright amber with a huge fluffy beige head. Light fruit aromas. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is peach/apricot/citrus with light yeast/spice. Quite pleasant.

Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic; Bruxelles
Hazy amber color. Dry Ale, with some caramel, watery and light final astringency. Not special.

Amber-orange color. A gusher whose head settled down quickly to almost nothing. Slightly earthy, sweet aroma, spicy; with Belgian yeast. Dry flavor, with some fruits; yeasty. Not much happening really. Slightly sour, with a strong bitterness at the finish. OK, but not so interesting.

On tap at In de Wildeman. Clear amber colour, off white head. Faint aroma of toasted malts, nuts, a hint of grain. Flavour is dry, a little nutty, caramel, biscuits. Fine but lively carbonation, dry yeast bitter finish, making this a nice refreshing Belgian ale. So far the best Belgian Amber I’ve had.
