(bottle, 33cl) Clear, golden colour with a blond and thick foamy head. Biscuity (cara-)malty aroma with herbal hops and a tinge of sourness. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Malt-accented biscuity and buttery taste with shy fruity notes; sweet malty and minimally bitter hoppy finish with traces of alcohol. 13.X.11

draft @ Delirium, Brussels. Dorée/orangée, col blanc. Arôme de malt léger pale, levure et houblon, garde ce nez belge typique avec ce fini levure et renfermé. En bouche, profile malté assez agréable allant vers un caramel doux grillé, le tout avec un houblon épicé. Levure reste présente avec en retrait un houblon fleuri et fruité léger tropical et agrumes. Grain, sec, et pointe épice sur la fin. Ne le fait pas trop à mon goût, seul le malt sort cette dernière de la banalité.

Bottled. An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of caramel and fruits. The flavor is very sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry and alcoholic finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Huge, towering off-white head, leaving classic lacepatterns over orange-golden, well-carbonated beer. Nose carries acetic & lactic acids, garden herbs, and everytime reverts to lactic/milky streaks - and alcohol. Bit burnt flavour, milk (boiled over?), pale malts; no sourness, however, despite the threats emanating from the nose. Bit sharpish MF, medium bodied, certain slickness, tangible carbonation. The nose promised pure Verhaeghe. The rest proved they did everything humanly possible to suppress that. As to the idea?
