Natural amber beer, 100% barley malt, unfiltered, unpasteurized and refermented in the Bottle. This beer expresses the complexity of the expression of 3 different malts with the hops used.

Bottle from FinestBelgianBeers. Pours a slightly hazy chestnut brown colour with a medium to large creamy beige head. Nice lacing. Aromas of caramel, nuts, herbs, toasty bread and light citrus notes. Taste has more of the same notes as the aroma. Fairly light bodied with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Caramel, nuts and herbs at first leads to a toasty and slightly citrus finish. Very nice and unique beer. Will definitely be having this again.

On tap at Delirium Taphouse Brussels. Dark orange, almost brown with a small white head. Aroma is full of orange, slight lemon sharpness and a bit malty. Taste is very crisp, orange sherbert punch and then a bitter tingly finish. Quite fizzy in the mouth. Medium to full bodied and dangerously drinkable. Delicious.

Je suis toujours aussi impressionné de voir la richesse des arômes qu'il est possible de développer dans une bière. Et si cette V Cense n'est ni impressionnante par sa complexité, ni par sa présence en bouche, elle révèle des arômes de cidre assez surprenants pour une bière et qui la rende appréciable. En verre nous sommes sur un ambré limpide sans aucune mousse. Au nez, c'est l'impression maltée qui domine et qui lui donne un petit air liquoreux (trompeur) avec des arômes de caramel, d'orange confite, de pomme et d'épices. L'attaque, sur une fraîche amertume, surprend alors, on y retrouve des arômes de caramel, de fruits confits et de poivre. Les arômes de cidre apparaissent réellement en deuxième bouche avec des épices qui gagnent en intensité. L'arrière bouche est quant à elle encore plus clairement sur le cidre. Le final, un peu court et manquant d'inspiration est davantage sur les fruits légèrement confits (orange, pomme). Elle se laisse boire tranquillement.
