before i got into craft beers, this was my favourite ! there’s no complexity, at all. its just sweet, but weet in a good way. its nothing like a barbar or a kriek. its just a very good beer and the onley one i could drink more than 1 in a row withoud getting tired of this. ( to a level we never left the bar with them still having nello’s )

Brown 33cl bottle with loads of Japanese on the rear label (I bought it in Belgium!). Best before 29 Sept 2012, drank as my second beer during one of my ’random beer tasting’ evenings in Aug 2010. Poured into a stemmed ’Hoegaarden Grand Cru’ tulip glass. Dull light orange body with a large snowy white head sat on top and trying to get out the glass. Most of the sediment stayed in the bottle, but some managed to get out, hence the dullness of the colour (maybe). So, so Belgian in aroma and initial taste: somehow the yeast esters just tell you that you’ve got a Belgian beer in your hand, this certainly did. It is fairly sweet both in smell and flavour, clean tasting and very drinkable. All Spice and summer flower garden (sweet pea and daisies) sort of feel to it. This beer came out best in the evenings scoring, against some other good beers.

33 cl. bottle @ De Groote Witte Arend – A: hazy, murky, wheat golden with a white head – S: plenty of boozy fruity esters (incl. peach & citrus), dull hops & malts plus spices – T: lots of esters, bitter, grains, dull-one note Belgian hops, bland malt, spices & booze – B: light & too carbonated – kind of meh beer, ok beer but not worth any effort trying to get, another Proef beer of which I had previously never heard

Bottled 33cl (Beer Tempel, Brussels)
Orange color, good white head, some lace. Fruity and leathery aroma with lime peels. Foamy carbonation. Lingering citrus, some sweetier fruityness and hops in the aftertaste. Just right amount of backing alcohol. Refreshing tripel.

(33cl bottle; the back label states: brewed by brewery De Arend) Hazy, golden colour with a big and blond foamy head. Sweet and distinctively bready cara-malty aroma with notes of pear, citrus and a light spicy touch. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium bodied with a well-matured and moderately carbonated mouthfeel. A bit yeasty and rich cara-malty taste, again with that bready touch and rather subtle fruity notes, combined with spices; moderately sweet malt-accented and slightly bitter finish. Good one (23.V.09).

Bottle. It’s an almost clear, golden beer with a big, white head. Tea, sugar, some fruits and a herbal touch in the aroma. The flavor is on the sweet side, almost sugary, with some alcohol, pale malts, a little spiced note, some hints of tea, and a herbal bitterness. Medium body, slightly warming. Bitter finish with sugars and some warmth. A quite decent one, nothing more. A bit boring maybe. (090501)

bottle, pours hazy orange with a tall white head, good lacing. Aroma is carmel, fruity yeast, and orange. Flavors are light and creamy, with yeast, orange and a light malt ending with a mild bitterness that is more spice than hops. Rather sweet.
