Bottle. Huge thick fine bubbled white head that really lasted. Excellent display of lacework. Clear sparkling yellow color. Aroma of fruit, yeast, light malty notes, hint of citrus and a twist of spice. Over the palate came light vinous and alcohol, grain and again fruity. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with a hint of bitterness and acidic. Warming grainy light spicy sweet finish.

Clear golden with a thick foamy everlasting head. Very nice aroma! Spices, lots of coriander, yeast and even some smoke?! Flavor not as good. Kinda harsh dusty bitterness with notes of alchohol and some fruit. Bitter finish.

25cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours clear golden with a frothy lasting egg white head & lacings. Nose is sweet, yeasty & fruity. Citrus, lemon & slightly metallic. Mouhfeel is medium & smooth. Dry fruity & grainy flavor. Well made but perhaps a little boring! OK

Hazy yellow with a big white head. Refreshing belgian yeast aroma, with pineapple, lemon and a touchof bubblegum, plus some pine and grain. Pleasant dryish flavour with a lot of juicy, fruity notes. The finish is quite bitter with distinct continental hops.

Well out of date bottle from under the stairs. Now I’ve broken my Xmas duck and I’m off to Bruges BELGIAN STASH BEWARE. Big stable irregular head on innocuous-looking orange amber beer. Pip-like black floaties. Campino strawberry and vanilla aroma paired almost exquisitely with oaky, butterscotchy tones and light apricot fruit. Gently buttery and acetic, with honey and Saaz chipping in as it warms. Mouth can’t really match that. Cask, butter and almond present. Bit vacuous and lagery for a 7.2% Belgian Xmas brew. Noble hop nibble of pinecone, honey-sweet pale maltiness. Definite metal. Quite fresh and savoury, but a bit drab beyond the snout. Lean, unfussy, faintly coniferous. OK, but unchristmassy.

Bottle. Lovely high creamy and good looking white head. Cledar golden body. Sweet honey fruity aroma. Flavor also quite fruity but with the addition of a bit of coriander. Low carbonation, long sweet aftertaste. Alcohol percentage seems just right.
