Bottled. An amber beer with a light orange head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of fruit, and hints of acidity. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of oranges, leading to a dry and spicy end where light coriander notes comes thru. The body is thin for 6.5% ABV. OK, but a bit boring.

Bottled at The Rover, Gothenburg. Lots of sediments floated around in this golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is fruity, with apples, yeast and a touch of sourness. Fruit, alcohol, yeast and some sour apples in the flavor. Medium to thin body with some astringency in the mouth. Quite drinkable but a bit boring. Rating: 6-4-6-3-13-3.2. 060824
Bottle, 75cl corked. A gusher producing a rather small head, off-white in color and topping a more or less clear, golden body. A bit weak aroma with white sugar, peaches and a generic fruityness. Some alcohol notes as well. Sweetish fruity flavor with peaches and ripe yellow apples. Medium body with a bit too much carbonation. A rather ordinary beer, but it’s far from bad in any way. 110624

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small off-white head. Strong fruitish hoppy aroma with hints of caramel. Flavour is yeasty and fruity along with some bitterness. Some notes of alcohol is also present, but not disturbingly.

Bottle. Red/copper colour with sparse white head. Bit of spiced/herby red fruit. Yeast and red fruit in mouth. Distinctive and I rather like it. Spritzy hoppy tingly finish. I wish that I could do justice to this, but my ability to identify flavours doesn’t cover this. Slight wood/dusty flavour. Some candy sugar. Slightly tart finish but residual sweetness is there too. Such an interesting beer.

"Oud Hergist Zottegems"
Hazy orangy, small firm off-white creamy head. Nose has hops, leather, yeast and is a bit earthy. Carbonated, medium-bodied. Malty with citric acidity with softening yeast and grassy hops. Dry, sweetish aftertaste.

(Bottle 33 cl) This original version from "Brouwerij Crombe" called "Oud Zottegems Bier Hergist" at 6,8% ABV. Hazy, amber coloured with a small fine head. Yeasty nose, some slightly roasted malts in the flavour with an indefinable spicyness - licorice? Very bitter finish. 280398 (Bottle 33 cl) An old sample from the original "Brouwerij Crombé" in Zottegem comes as "Oud Zottegems Bier Speciaal", vintage unknown. Label: http://home.tiscali.be/proud2b/breweries.htm. Reddish brown, fruity nose, rather flat. In spite of the age this is pretty fresh with a dry finish. 7/3/7/3/14=3,4

Hazy orange; slim whitish head. Dusty nose, wood, dash of lemon. Again dusty - old cookies, in a nice way set the tone for the taste. Pale malts, not sweet. I suspect quite some candi sugar. Medium-bodied, thinned by the sugar. Restrained slickness. Strange dusty taste (my brewing co-taster suspects the cork) - got nothing to do with ageing. OTOH, Strubbe has made this beer remarkably close to the original.
