Dit heerlijke echt Limburgse speciaalbier dankt zijn unieke karakter aan het gebruik van Gagel. Gagel is een veelgebruikt alternatief voor hop. Het geeft een kruidige smaak aan het bier. Het gagelplantje is beschermd en komt nog maar in enkele beschermde natuurgebieden voor. Staatsbosbeheer geeft 1 keer per jaar toestemming aan brouwerij de Fontein te Stein voor de oogst van het gagelplantje speciaal voor het brouwen van dit Roerdaler gagelbier.

Aroma of malts, a little fruitiness, ’gagel’ spices. Flavour is malty and spicy sweetness with a little bitterness in the finish. A bit dull.

Basically what you'd expect. A light and herbal beer. Some sweetness, bit malty, light bitterness, and herbal. Did I mention herbal? Quite pleasant, in its own way, not too intense, easy drinking. Oh, and it's pretty herbal. Like someone added shrubs.

Lichtbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitter en kruidig met een wat apothekers achtige smaak. Mogelijk komt dat van de gagel. Vind het overigens niet onaardig smaken, wel heel apart.

Süßlicher, erdig malziger Beginn. Keine Herbe, steigend malzig, geringe Würzigkeit. Weicher, schokoladig würziger Abgang. Okay. 9/10/9/8/7/8

Pours clear blonde, no real foam. Smell is spiced. Taste is nicely refreshing. The spice def. shines trough, but in a very balanced way, contributing to a refreshing taste. Its balanced between sweet, bitter and dry. Refreshing, and easy drinking. Perhaps too light of a body for my personal opinion. Good carbonation.

Bottle [from trade with SVD] @ home shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Clear orange golden color, small quickly diminishing off-white to beige head. Aroma is strongly herbs or spices, must be the "gagel". Taste lightly malts, cinnamon and off course "gagel". Lightly sweet-bitter, decently balanced, average body and carbonation. Not a bad beer, but I’m not much of a fan of those herbal spicy beers so not my thing.
