Bottle @ Vilvordia Bierproef Festival, Jette, Brussels. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty slightly yeasty aroma with some hints of caramel. Sweetish malty fruity yeasty flavor. Has a fruity malty slightly yeasty finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Amber coloured ale with an slightly sour taste in it, maybe its nearby the Zenne-valley for its wild yeast.

330 from La Soif du Malt. BB 11.12.09. Amber color and a three-finger beige head. Sort of toffee aroma. Medium minus body with soft carbonation. It doesn’t seem to know whether it is a belgian ale or a sour. Except it’s like a sour without being acetic. Strange. A little watery; a little herby. This just confuses me. Maybe I’m getting metal notes. It’s dry.

Bottle, Belgian Belly. Amber with a fading off white head. Sweet and malty, but a nasty soapy/chemical/ metallic tang evident which was a major turn off and condems this to the bowels of dirge like mediocrity.

I am surprised this beer is still on the market. Bottle. Copper color. Cookies, just a hint of flowers and butter in the aroma. Citrus flavor, slightly flowery and perfumed, with some metal notes. Nutty, bready and raisinny. Decent Belgian ale.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a slowly collapsing off-white head. Spiced and mild mouldy aroma. Flavour is dry malt, light yeasty, vague metallic note and spiced towards a bitter finish. Belgian kinda pilsner.
