Liefmans Jan van Gent

Formerly brewed at Liefmans (Moortgat)
Style: Belgian Ale
Oudenaarde, Belgium

Bottled. Clear reddish amber. Yeaty flowery nose. Medium sweet. Mild and lightly almondy. WIld yeast adds light lemony acidity and some esters. Short salty finish. Complex and unusual.

Bottled, 37cl. Sweet citrus aroma and a little dusty. When warming up a little is turns herbal and flowery. Hazy, amber color, beige head, fair lace. Light sweet, light bitter, hint of citrus. Very drinkable and well balanced but overall way less interesting than most Liefmans beers. Reminded me of a less bitter and more weet Oeral.

Bottled
Honey-golden, small white head. Caramelly, malty nose. Earthy, light with sugary notes. Very carbonated woody flavor.

Bottled. Cloudy orange coloured with an off white head. Aroma of wood with murky notes and notes of yeast. Flavour of malts and wood with murky notes.

bbe 2004. murky copper beer, strange(which isn’t bad in this case), spicey taste(must be coriander). fruity(apple) nose. bitterish, bit sour, fruity, spicy taste. finishes more bitter and spicy. thin body, medium co2. smells better than it tastes. not bad though.

Orange amber with a thin white head. A watery and malty taste with some spices in the aftertaste (not much). (Corked Bottle 33cl)

Muddy cloudy red/orange. Rubbing alcohol in the nose. Again, odd for being such a low abv. Yeast, kumquots and faint honey. Pizza dough. Definite peasant style. Nothing special.

hazy gold, white head. aroma of fresh bready malt, yeast, orange and mild booze. strange for such a low abv. flavours of caramel, yeast, toast and mixed fruit. mild spicy finish. very "peasanty" tasting. not bad.
