Liefmans Jan van Gent

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

An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sour - wildfermentation? with hints of oranges and metal. The flavor is malty, slightly sour, and acidic with notes of apricot and hops. The end is dry. An OK beer without being good.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber coloured with a nice, huge head. Some fruity, spicy notes - almost tripel-like, if it wasn’t for the rather low alcohol. Some iron in the aftertaste. Decent but far from exceptional. 041196
