Pinball (2685), Allerød, Denmark May 3, 2009 bottle at home.
cloudy dark orange with small particles, large thick good looking head.
mild spritty, fruity, caramelly sweetish aroma.
flavor is caramelly, balanced by a faint citrussy sourness, a little nuts, ends slightly bitter almost flowery hoppy. Good mild christmas brew. amasero (8), Spain does not count Mar 25, 2009 Intenso color anaranjado, brillante aunque algo turbio. Mirando al trasluz observamos mucha sedimentación. Buena cabeza blanca, muy blanca, con un blanco nieve. Amplia, pero no demasiado duradera. (3/5)
Muy equilibrada en nariz (como todas las Val-Dieu), aunque tira un poco más a dulce. Un tono afrutado destaca sobre el resto. (7/10)
La gasificación inicial desaparece pronto, la sensación en boca es buena, pero breve. Gasificación media-baja, cuerpo medio. (3/5)
Sabor algo dulce, afrutada, con un largo final. El alcohol no se encuentra en la boca, queda totalmente oculto por el sabor dulce. El regusto no es seco, ni aún ahí se nota algún otro tono desagradable, solo un ligero amargor a lúpulo. (7/10) gunnar (486), Sandnes, Norway Feb 5, 2009 Dark amber hazy appearance.
