Caramel malts, slightly tangy. Some cream in the malts. Brandyish alcohol. A slight sharpness overall.

Commissioned by the Delhaize supermarket chain, I got to know this beer many years ago when it was apparently still brewed by De Smedt (now Affligem under Heineken) and presented as a Christmas beer towards the year’s end; nowadays it is available throughout the year and no longer limited to being a Christmas beer. Pours a clear and warm golden blonde, clear with regular fizz but slightly hazy with deposit, under a thick, snow white, sticky head. Aroma is a bit sourish and vegetable-like, DMS clearly present (cooked cauliflower), apart from sweaty grains, a faint hint of burnt rubber, plastic, and, frankly, diswhater, further compromizing the otherwise not too unpleasant hints of green apple, young ’jenever’, flowers, soapy hops, white bread and yoghurt. Tastes fortunately better than it smells: lightly estery, apple, some banana and mandarin, rounded and slick mouthfeel, a bit metallic, slight sugary sweetishness as well as sweetish pale malts, soft, minerally with medium to strongish carbo, finishing in a mild grassy hop bitterishness, medium long, dryish with quite some wodka-like alcohol, though less wry than I had feared; malt sweetness and even ’powder sugary’ sweetness also keeps lingering, in fact longer than the hop bitters. In all: another attempt at rivalling the sovereign Duvel, but not nearly there, much like the old Lucifer under Riva. The aroma is just too flawed to fully enjoy this, but I don’t really complain about the taste. But hey, enjoying a drink also has a lot to do with smelling it, hasn’t it?

33 cl. bottle @ home. Purchased from Delhaize. BBF 26/02/2015. Lightly hazy apple golden, egg white, soapy head. Nose is sweet, light lemonade, white sugar grains, cheap sweet Chinese pastry,… mellow nose. Taste is sweet, white sugar, white bread, soda, Belgian yeast, cheap sweet Chinese pastry, finished bitter spices with cheap alcohol, disinfecting alcohol, white alcohol, mineral, finish is quite brutal in a non-fun way, almost like taking a shot of old Jenever,… Body is a bit fluffy. This is not too bad actually.

Good, dense, very lightly yellowish head over bright metallic golden beer. Dry, white candi sugar nose, bit yeasty: pale malts and restrained esters. Dry, very dry, white sugar out-attenuated ’flavour’. With alcohol and condensed milk flavours, making the finish definitely a bit sweetr, less parchment dry. Palate as said. Well carbonated (surprise, surprise). Doesn’t really incent to have another one, which is probably for the better safetywise. Shamelessly aimed @ Duvel. But Duvel, showing just that tad more character, is better, IMO. I’d be rather surprised to learn that this is effectively brewed in Germany...

bouteille 33cl. Dorée, blanche. A tous les aspects d’une bière typique belge dont la levure est de suite présente avec un alcool qui se fait tout aussi ressentir. Le nez est fruité allant vers la pêche laissant des notes tropicales. En bouche, levure, fruité avec un léger malt et un fini de levure belge le tout avec un alcool trop présent. Légèrement houblonnée, palais est sec avec note d’orge et de grains.
