33cl bottle. A slightly hazy dark golden beer with a small white head. Aroma of belgian yeast, yellow fruits, pale malt. Taste of dry yeasty fruits, straw, yellow fruits, easy to drink!

Another Vicus, a brand developed by the Vicus Genotschap in Tessenderlo, this one apparently a limited edition; at tderoeck’s place during Belgian ticks tasting. Medium thick, snow white, moussy head, clear ’old gold’ coloured beer so a warmer, deeper, more orangey hue than pure gold, but certainly not amber as the label claims. Aroma of banana, powder sugar, sweet potatoes, red apple, honey, white bread. Sweet bubblegummy-banana onset, apple peel touch, residual white sugary sweetness with honeyish effect, fizzy carbo, smooth mouthfeel. Sweetish bready malt body with a dash of caramel to it, some subtle floral and vaguely spicy hop bitterness in the tail, adding a subtle amount of dryness but malt and banana ester sweetness dominate. Very clich� Belgian ’terrasjesblonde’ - for something claiming to be limited, I expected a more original (style of) beer to say the least.

Clear orange beer, small creamy irregular yellowish head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit sweet, malty, spicy touch, bit fruity, some ginger, soapy, floral. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity start, bit sweet, spicy, soapy, bit sourish. Aftertaste: pretty bitter touch, grassy, spicy, ginger again?, unpleasant bitterness in the finish.

Thank you tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Belgian Ticks Tasting Ghent”. Amber golden, near clear, little head. Nose is oily sweet vegetable sugar, poor overly sweet vegetable,… Taste is dry messy chemical & vegetable, sweet rubbish washing powder,… Body is chemical products, sugar,… Third Vicus beer & third poor one.

Pours clear , bit darker blonde, no real head. Smell is mildly vegetables. Mild spices. Taste is spiced, fermented sugar is resulting in a thin body, and a not so intense taste. I miss the complexity and refreshing notes of s true saison.

33cl bottle shared with Kermis. Thin white head. Cloudy golden pour. A nice refreshing saison.

Bottle shared. Hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of peppery saison yeast, citrus, herbs and malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
