Old rating that somehow escaped being entered I guess. Bottle @ home. A bit unclear orange / golden color. Decent white head. Smell and taste malts, some kind of fruit, sugar, sweetness and some hints of alcohol. All these beers are pretty similar imo. Firm carbonation, medium body. Mwah.

Bottle @Pulp, Athens. Pours clear orange with rich diminishing off-white head. Medium body, good lacing, thin texture, lively carbonation, medium bitter finish. Fruity aromas, caramel malts, floral,orange, citrus peel, hints of honey and liquorice. Decent Belgian ale, but I’ve had much better ones in the past.

Flaska från SB. Oväntad belgisk överraskning. Smak och doft av malt, karamell, kola, humle, citrus med toner av röda vinbär och körsbär. Syrlig, frisk, lagom sötma, rund och len, en aning mycket kolsyra, fin beska.

Bière du Boucanier Caribbean Ale (BE) - Belgian Ale - 6.5% - 3.4/5

Orange color, slightly hazed, lively carbonation as expected, big exploding white head, reducing. Spicy yeasty nose. Aroma is spicy, fruity, hoppy with resin, raisins, lots of belgian yeast, ginger, licorice root. Peach, tea and maybe tropical fruits and lots of flowers. Sweet sugary taste, Sticky finish with fuel notes and a metallic bitterness. Interesting tropical taste but feels a bit chemical and unnatural.

Flaska på Nya Tröls. Gyllenfärgad, högt vitt skum. Massor av kola/karamell, honung, torkad frukt, mandelkubb, söt torkad frukt, dr pepper. Ändå frisk, spritsig och lätt syrlig, delvis p g a mycket kolsyra. Helt okej.

33 cl. bottle split with Kraddel. Gusher… Clear golden with a white bubbly head. Smells like a cleaning agent but not a bad way, lemony, flowers, light soap, banana,… Sweet banana, yeasty, light fruits, flowers taste, strongly sugary, carbonated water,… Touch yeasty body – odd but enjoyable.
