Feb 23, 2007 Bottle and draft from Poperinge. Cloudy appearance with a slight hoppy nose. Very light flavoring and very easy to drink. I agree with other raters that it was very "tripel" in nature. Great bier, recommend trying it.

Feb 22, 2007 Murky orange (lots of sediment) out of a small 25cl bottle. Large, steady head. Grassy/floral hoppy aroma. Hoppy taste, balanced out by nice sweet-ish malt and bready yeast. A bit bland and one dimensional. Good mouthfeel, but very light on carbonation. Gets bonus points for the low price (less than 1$ for a bottle).

Feb 15, 2007 Draught. Malt, chocolate, rhum. Strong alcohol taste (also in the nose). A little smoked. Leaves a bitter end on the lips. Short end.

Feb 13, 2007 The label on mine says hommel ale, not hommel bier. I assume this is the one. Crisp, tart, grassy, vegetably. Resembles a Triple but is more sharp and has stronger (floral?) aroma. I found it most enjoyable, hence my outlandishly high score for it. I’m big on things Tripel-y, and this is even more distinctive. My only problem was the brewery shaving off a fl. oz. This is America, we need things big!

Feb 7, 2007 Pours golden with an effervescent body and a wispy tan head. Aroma of wildflowers, honey, wheat and bubble gum. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lush carbonation. I really liked this beer, I want to ’rate’ more.

Feb 6, 2007 A somehow light but strong and rich beer. Refreshing with a pleasant fizzy texture. Distinctive. Doesn’t stay with you too long. (from bottle)

Feb 6, 2007 Bottle, poured golden orange with floaties and a white head that preserved itself,
pale malt, faint hop bouquet with sourness on the nose, grassy, little spiciness, faint sweetness
from malt, taste of pale malt, hop bite on the tongue, bubbly (lots of carbonation) and some citrus tartness in the mouth, whiff of spices.

Feb 6, 2007 hazy, almost cloudy amber. nice fragrant aroma, definite hop almost of american style and balanced. long lasting head with a bit of lace. definite session beer. this is the belgian version,
American market export version: More hop nose and much more subdued in every other way. I think the one I brought back from Brussels (in a smaller bottle without the bbe info) was much better.
