Bottle bought in Belgium. 375ml, corked and paper wrapped, in a Liefemans glass. Pleasent Belgian ale, malty and fruitty. It is rated suprisingly low.

Coppery orange color, medium white head. The aroma is fruity and a bit skunky. The flavor is mostly fruity, malty and a bit skunky. Light to medium body. Booooring ....

Pours a muddy bronze body topped with a thin but dense and lasting off-white head. Once the skunkiness due to the green bottle is gone, only a disappointing (for a belgian ale) fruity (cherries, citrus, melon) aroma remains. Taste is mild and the flavors (malt, yeast) are quite timid. Short and lightly sour final. I always expect a lot from belgian ales, but that one is quite a deception...

Cloudy orange color with a smallish head. Aroma was bith citrus and malty. Not a bad beer and yet somehow surprised it was made by Liefmans. Thought they could do a bit better than this.

(Bottled, 0.375l) Hazy, light amber/apple juice color with a smallish but lasting, foamy head. Sourish, flowery-hoppy apple juice aroma with yeast and syrup. Fruity (apple, banana), slightly sour, sweetish flavor. Bitter, sour-sweet banana finish. Medium-bodied, fizzy-carbonated, oily palate. A nice and refreshing ale, but somewhat thin and fizzy.

Pours orange amber with big fizzy, thick head. light to medium body, spicy bitter in a boring sense. Not a great Belgian beer.

330 ml, medium amber, rather dull-looking, big lasting head. Average spicy-sour-yeasty nose, bit of orange, nothing special. Decent mouthfeel, a hint of vanilla...but there's really very little flavor here. Bit of soap and metal towards the finish...no thanks.

Belgian brown ale. Very dusty, filthy. The beer has a smack of decay. Not worth drinking.
