Bottle at restaurant in Brussels. Hazy orange with a beige head. Aroma moderate malty (caramel, fruit), a sour note, moderate hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter. Light body despite the strength.

Dark reddish color and a really nice aroma. I think all Grimbergens have a nice aroma. This is not nearly as good as the double or triple. But a drinkable beer. Malty flavor, maybe hints of caramel. Drinkable, but there are better beers in this category for sure.

Dark redish amber colour, average off-white head. Fruity and malty aroma, little sweet (some caramell). Full body, light carbonation, with some sweeter hints.. Finish is spicy and fruity ending a little dry. OVerall not bad. I like this one.

Draught at By-Kall pub (Rovato, Brescia). Cremosa and compact foam. Discreet persistence. Red color diamond much elegant and attractive. Delicate and much rich scent. Notes of red fruit and alcohol. Indeed a lot yielded. Determined taste but not strongly. Medium fizzy. Optimal persistence to the palate.

I had this one quite often when it was still available at our local supermarket. Aroma of malt (caramel) and fruits. Amber coloured with a medium, lasting head. Taste is sweet, caramel-malty and a bit fruity. Not really special.
