Livinus is een kristalhelder, zeer bleek blond bier met een spierwitte schuimkraag. De lichte zoetigheid in de neus zet zich voort met moutigheid in de mond. Lichte hopbitterheid volgt op een zweempje van zoethout. De iets bittere afdronk geeft dit bier van 5,2% abv een droog mondgevoel. In 2007 voor het eerst gebrouwen ter gelegenheid van de Sint-Livinusfeesten.

Bottle shared at Garbage Night II - London. Big thanks to Fergus for this bruiser. Pours clear yellow with lots of pale floaties. Pretty eatery on the nose, plenty of dough, faint tangy lemon. Medium sweet flavor with lots more doughy malts, more lemon, some meringue. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sugary, doughy white bread finish, some Belgian yeast, mild straw. Tasty enough.

Bottle massive thanks to Fergus. It pours pale gold with a plenty of floaters and a thick white head. The nose is hay, sweet doughy, metallic twang, toast, light spice and faint smoke. The taste is hay, doughy, metallic, lime, lemon, lemonade and buttered white toast with a dry finish. A fairy ho hum blonde ale. Pretty nasty looking also.

At least 2009 Vintage // 2011 (BBF date) // 33 cl. bottle @ Bier Central // clear light yellow, small white head // smells vintage blond ale, sweet white grapes & sweet yeast in an odd, indicatory way // taste cornflakes, yeast, sweet oxidation, white sugar, artificial, white grapes, hay, citrus, malts // m/m // think the label design is reminiscent of Evil Twin // neat // beer itself, past standard condition // dime in a dozen

(bottle, 25cl) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Slightly sour malty nose with shy fruity notes and a tinge of vegetables. Slightly sweet and sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Fruity (apples, citrus) malty taste leading into a sweet and slightly sour-fruity finish. No glory. 12.VI.11
