Praise be to Phil_L and the beermerchants.com lottery. Thanks very much, great work! Golden with big bubbled white head that faded fairly quickly. A fairly standard but very drinkable Belgian blond. Right up my street! A typical rate from me, F all detail as I’nm very drunk now. Cheers Phil and beermerchants.com, you’ve got me drunk, in trouble with the missus but happy!

A Mes rate: bottle thanks to the awesome beermerchants.com lottery! Typical, but tolerable spicy and yeasty Belgian blonde aroma. Heavily filtered blonde appearance with a head that angrily fizzed away to nothing pretty quickly. Slightly metallic and fatty flavour. A little too sweet and spicy. Faint ginger notes. Nothing offensive but it’s just so unimaginative. Used to wash down my dinner. Functional, that’s it.

A clear yellow, colored beer, with a thick white head. The aroma of malt, a bit fruity, like citrus and yeast. The taste is smooth, malty, fruity, orange/citrus with some spices in the back. The aftertaste is a little bitter and fruity.

33cl, new brew with ’gruut’ Anno 2008, from Geers Oostakker, complex brew, not balanced, hazy, good head, nice brew

Fluffy white head over well-carbonated golden beer. Very malty, near grainy nose, bit grassy. Near Pilsner-like; white candi sugar probable. Dry-spicy taste, again quite grainy. Not very remarkable, but sturdy, honest taste - bit Kölsch-like, if more spicy. Light to medium bodied, quite spritzy. Unassuming, but better than expected. Would make a great session beer, were it bottle-conditioned - it deserves better. Pity about the boring nose.
