Golden color, hazy. Fermented with Duvel yeast, I guess. You can smell it. Dusty aroma with a hint of citrus. Banana and cream in the flavor. A homebrew taste. This beer must be infected. Some hops, dirty, rancid palate. Re-rate: bottle bought in Grobbendonk in september 2005. Again a heavily infected botle.

330 ml. bottle sampled. BBF strip not marked. Hazy golden, lightly off-white head. Nose is wet socks, sewage water, cold water, rotting stone fruit, dirty, nasty, tad watery,… Taste is rotting barn, rotting Turkish candy, dirty, caramel, ditch water, sugar, watery, totally nasty, medicinal,… Watery, candy bdoy,… In general I have disliked this breweries efforts so far but this goes into train wreck zone. Embarrassing really not sure if ineptitude, bad taste or indifference is at play here.

Pours clear, light amber. Smll white head. Smell is caramelly. Taste is aromatic, yet rather blank ambermalt taste. No hops or yeast are to be found in this one. Weak. Wattery. Yet theres nothing bad about the taste. Just could use more complexity. Or any complexity, to start with

33cl bottle courtesy of and shared with kermis. Thin white head. Golden blond pour. Not great. Something wrong in the aftertaste.

Bottle shared. Pours hazy small floater amber with a thin off white head. Aroma of yeast, veggies, herbs and malt. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Not very good.

Not really an amber but rather a blonde thirst-quencher. Back in 2006, I too the following notes: snow white, coarse head, warm yellow golden colour (not amber at all), more or less clear but cloudy after adding the yeast deposit. Aroma of apple and caramel but lots of medicinal solvents overpowering them, some hay-like hoppiness, cloves, liquorice, eucalyptus, honey, ginger powder. Sweetish taste, subdued fruit, smooth, low carbonation and (too) thin mouthfeel, strange resinous, liquorice-like sweetness sticking to the palate, finish mildly hoppy with some badly hidden alcohol. The current version has improved a bit: the resin- and liquorice-like, medicinal sweetness, like cough candy, has declined, there is more carbonation now and a somewhat better balance between fruity yeastiness and honeyish maltiness, with a more nutty profile; the finish is also more assertively hoppy, a bit peppery. I am convinced that with further improvements, this can eventually become a real good beer.

Watery amber beer. Has a bit caramalt and some fruits of course, but it’s all flat.
