(37.5 cl bottle at "Tre Små Rum", Göteborg) Cork dated 2006. Clear golden color, white head. Soft metallic, clove and spicy scent. Sweet malty buttery taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Nicer than the scores would have suggested to me, this beer has redeeming qualities. Fresh grain and mildy tart-sweet notes.

2006 Bottle corked and caged. 375ml. Purchased at Fromagerie Atwater in Montreal. Pours orange/gold with a big creamy head. The nose was fresh sweet and yeasty. Sweet and light, really not much of a taste but not as bad as the percentage suggests. (When I bought it I hoped it would be a sour.

Bouteille 2006. Couleur orangée, claire, bien effervescente, mousse généreuse, bulles assez grosse, traces sur le verre. Arôme de levures, fruité et houblonné, caramel. Goût légèrement malté, pamplemousse, houblons floraux. Effervescence moyenne à forte, corps mince. Manque de corps et de complexité en bouche, mais l’oeil et le nez sauvent cette bière.

Surprised at the low ratings. Light ale. Very nice. Crisp. Why such bad reviews for this decent Belgian?

Bottle. Large off-white head, mostly diminishing. Clear yellow/amber color. Notes of cookie. Watery texture. Strange beer.

Hazy brown color with a medium white head. Malty with some fruity notes. Malt an hops. Meium body with a dry finish.

Bottiglia da 33cl incartata, piacevole a vedersi ma la birra un po’ meno: schiuma scarsa ed evanescente, colore ambrato/rossiccio. Aroma poco pronunciato, totale assenza di retrogusto. Piacevole, tuttavia, anche se dubito che ci ritornerò.______________ENGLISH TEXT HERE______________33cl bottle wrapped in paper, pleasant to see; but the beer is not so good: very little head, color is amber/dark red. Aroma is little too, dry finish. Nice but boring and I don’t think I will come back.
