May 13, 2008 dit helder gouden degustatiebier heeft een fruitg aroma met een zweemtje vanillegeur.de zachte bitterheid van de Poperingse hop komt voldoende tot zijn recht. Een zeer klantgericht biertje dat alle Verhaeghe’s kenmerkt

Apr 28, 2008 Bottle, from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Pale orange, lots of sticky white head. Aroma is very soft, and takes some doing to parse. Kind of a pleasant soap quality. A bit of lemon, some yeast and green banana. Flavor is initially a rather heavy-handed vanilla candy flavor, a bit cloying and artificial. After a few sips the aggressive carbonation helps move things toward balance, but overall, the flavors seems quite distracted. Warm melon in the finish and a bit of alcohol fumes.

Nov 8, 2007 On draught at KBF Poperinge. Pours a deep golden coloured beer with a nice white lasting head. Nice slight hoppyness but lacking. Aroma of sweet hops, and malts. Medium bodied and nice lace. Taste is spicy, nice bitterness, and hops.

Oct 31, 2007 Clear golden colored pour, big white head. High hoppiness. Aroma of sweet hops and malts. Taste is a bit too spicy, nice bitterness, hops and an alcohol sense in the end. Medium bodied.

Oct 31, 2007 Sweetish, strong and simple blonde. Orange-gold with a nice enough head. Honeyish element to the flavor. Lacks depth. But on the bright side, we met the nun who posed for the picture on the coasters. She was in full habit at the Karakterbierfest in Poperinge. I asked her if she went to bed with a Trappist every night. Turns out she’s not really a nun at all, but a welder. Unfortunately, she didn’t know any welding jokes. However, she was nice enough to sit in our friend’s lap for a photo. A good story, but I would have traded that story for a more interesting beer.

Sep 26, 2007 A Mes rate:
Bottle from Kris Wines. Sadly not even a patch on a certain other beer with Poperings on the label... Clear deep golden with a white head that settles quickly to a very thin film. Light hoppage in the aroma and that obvious sweet/sour/soy note that is characteristically Verhaeghe. Flavour is similar with some faint whiskey notes and light spice. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Not bad. Not great.

Aug 18, 2007 Bottle at cafe Paix, Poperinge. Weakly headed dull gold pour. Vague grassiness, papery malt, rubber and alcohol. Grainy, sugary and unhoppily bitter. Smells faintly spicy. A half-decent lagery ale with all the character filtered out of it.
