On tap at ZBF 08. Clear gold, with thin beige head. Belgian yeasty aroma. Reasonably characterful. Better than the standard of this style.

Yet they swear it’s not the same as the Cuvée Hommelhof... Orange to amber, virtually no head. Very alcoholic nose, dry white sugar, touch fruity. Bit of caramel, notes of white bread, alcohol, white candi sugar flavour. Roasted too, but restrained. Treacherously light MF, alcoholburn is the only warning about its potency. Some mix. Still I wonder under which names it has been around before.

Bottle. Low but lasting off-white head. Hazy orange body. Herbal and floral aroma with a touch of oranges. Flavor is indicated and just like the aroma, low carbonation and a fair amount of hops results in a complex yet mild beer. Short aftertaste.

From bottle at 12de Oostendse Bierjutterij. Hazy amber, medium offwhite head. Complex aroma, but sweet malts and fruity hops prevail. Hints of pepper. Peppery flavours on a sweet base with a dry spicy finish. Sharp fizziness. Nice.
