Viven Ale guarantees a tasty beer with a fruity flavor. The aftertaste is quite long and is aimed to please a broad audience. Brewed to the exact specifications to be called a "Special Belge".

Bottle at Rootz at the Harbour, Schevenigen. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, yeast, light hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a smooth malt hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Served cool. A super ale from Belgium. A lot more yeast and CO2 than you will find in England but really tasty and refreshing.

33cl Bottle at The Red Rose Cafe, Brugge on 22nd Sep 2013. Very un-Belgian in taste, those English Golding hops asserting themselves I suppose? Poured a misty copper colour with a thin head covering. Lacked oomph in both the aroma and taste: some yeast and fruit notes but not enough to excite my taste buds (it was drank after on-tap stronger beers though). Mr Average in all aspects and a little disappointing to be honest, almost bland in fact.

Bottled, BB 11/12/14, large sample. Slight hazy golden color, medium off-white head. Aroma of fruity english hops, slight spicy note, crispy grainy pilsener malt. Soft bitterness in taste, slight sweetness. Very well balanced, easy to drink. Decent stuff.
