Colour is light-foxy, but with a pinkish shine, slightly hazy. Medium-thick head, white (with again a pinkish shine) and slowly disappearing. Chalky and spicy nose (which spices I don't know, I only heard of two of them). I am thinking of a subdued raspberry nose - the mulberries probably. Taste: this IS special. Exotic wood - exotic spices - exotic fruits? Woody, certainly. There are some malts underneath, and a bitterness - but no hops discernible. No specific spice really emerges, which is good, but the overall finish is a bit overpowering. Medium-bodied. Sourish-refreshing, but I don't think this could ever figure as a session ale. No new aftertaste. This beer is brewed at De Graal brewery by and for a local beerconsumers branch, BLES from Zottegem. The name is a Flemish wordplay - it sounds Chinese, but is a Flemish version of "Cheers".
