An amber-colored filtered beer of high fermentation. The combination of Ambré malt and Caramel malt provides a malty finish. The blend of Belgian and German hop varieties give it a very personal nose and a mouth-watering bitterness. Slightly seasoned at the end of the cooking.

July 2008: The statue this beer is named after was right outside our hotel in Ostend. Fat Matilda lays in a bed of water and is pictured in the label. A small 25cl bottle bought and consumed at the excellent ’De Vlasschaard’ in Stene, Ostend. Amber and bright in the sun, well formed white head, looks nice in its own glass. 50% Poperingse and 50% Hallertaur hops give it the colour. Pleasant hoppy aroma, not over the top, just about right. Lovely hot day, this was just what was required. Fine mix of Belgian goodies, all bundled together to produce a well balanced amber/pale ale. It had all the attributes needed to make me want another (and another).

25 cl. bottle @ home. Hazy amber with a small quickly disappearing white head. Soury yeasty smell. The taste reminds my of cheese to be honest but not in an unpleasant way. Maybe my bottle was a bit spoiled so I’ll retry it soon.

Flaske 0,25l delt med Rune på rom 227 Leonardo Hotel Antwerpen. Gyldenbrun. Lavt skum. Svakt søtlig krydderaroma. Smaken er litt malt & litt krydder. Litt i søteste laget.

250ml bottle bought at Antwaerps Bierhuiske. Amber body, lasting top-layer. Aroma of sweet fruits. Berries and lemon in flavour leading to a bittersweet ending. About average (shared with Finn, hotel room Antwerpen, 28.04.2011).
