Abdij Averbode

Deep yellow colour, with a huge white head disappearing very slowly. Smell is yeast, malt and some grassy hops, with some alcohol hints. Taste is less intense, with bitter finish. Ok but average.

Helder geel bier met schuim. Smaak is hoppig met fris citrus fruit. Blijft lang hangen. Uitstekend bier.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Delhaize. Gorgeous label, that much I have to admit. Pours a lighter, lightly hazy citrus with a sinking soapy white head. Smells very heavily of perfume, flower air refresher, synthetic apple, quite soapy, smells like a German hefe processes and managed to death at a factory. Tastes very synthetic as well, air refresher, perfume, synthetic apple, chemical, light fish guts, strange off-putting soapy synthetic taste, soggy white bread, white sugar sweet. Carbonation is a tad higher. This is Huyghe and this is a commercial brew so nothing here that surprises me, it isn’t as terrible as I feared but it tastes like a mix between a Belgian Strong Ale where mass appeal and cheap alcohol were the main goals mixed with a coriander-less rubbish Belgian white. I can drink it and it is okay but as a special, premium or craft beer of any kind this is an insult to anyone who understand even a little bit about beer in my opinion.

Bottle by GVA Pours clear blonde . Small to good white foam Smell is very straight yeast Taste is -as usual- wildly overcarbonated . Appart from that , everything youve tasted ( too ) many times before . Grainy-yeasty with a bitter touch . very plain , common taste . Boring as hell
