Ambar espuma muy abundante. Duradera. Aroma lácteo, notas ácidas, levadura. En boca cuerpo medio, predominio dulce, con contrapunto ácido.

33 cl bottle served in Leffe chalice. Pours hazy dark amber, almost hazelnut, with an incredibly rocky all-lacing tan head. Aroma is wild honey, pineapple, peach, red berries and milk chocolate. Taste is refreshing, slightly sour, with greater bitterness than Belgian ales usually display. Texture is soft-carb, round, long-lingering. Quite a nice one.

Not sure if the beer is retired, but I only found it vintage. Should be re-rated if I ever find it fresh. Unknown vintage as the cap is to rusted to read. Mild gusher. Pours unclear blonde to amber, good white head. Smell is super-intense yeast and madeira, 2 aspects I never really had this simultaniously dominant. Taste is very yeasty, some madeira, metallic notes on top. Over the top, for sure, and perhaps would be better if even older, due to unplesant aspects fading out. The metallicness in this one is just too much.

Bottle sampled. No indication of size or BBF. Sparkling fizzy clear golden, fizzing away golden head. Nose is heavily soapy, industrial, fizzy, banana, chemicals, heavy esters,… industrial ester heavy soap. Taste is industrial soap, chemical, washing powder, heavily chemical, esters, industrial, mineral,… Heavily chemical, touch soapy body. Far too industrial tasting Belgian Blond, tastes & feels processed to death. Too bad, I have had two other beers by this brewery & they were acceptable.

Tasted in the original "Abbaye d’Aulne Ambrée sur lie" version, but it’s the same beer. Off-white, initally thick but irregular and quickly diminishing head, colour a darkish amber, tending to copper, misty. Aroma primarily malty, in a caramel- and nutty kind of way, accompanied by hints of yeast, wood, apple, grapefruit and cloves; taste subduedly, dryishly fruity on a nutty maltiness, strong carbonisation in the beginning, a bit grainy in the finish, with herbal hop bitterishness. Perhaps somewhat reminiscent of a german Alt?

Bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Hazy amber color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, lightly sweet . Don’t get anything else really, except for it being totally overcarbonated. Average body, fizzy high carbonation. Don’t really like it.

(Bottle, Delirium Monasterium, Brussels, 21 Oct 2012) Reddish amber colour with frothy, off-white head, leaving traces of lacing. Malty, slightly roasted nose with notes of dark fruit, toast, orange peel and dried fruit. Malty taste with caramel, toasty malt, gentle flavours of orange and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.
