Superb golden ale from the Maes brewery. Clear gold, strong complex flavours with a dry aftertaste. Not to heavy in body and quite lively. Should suit the British palate well. Best served in it's own glass. 8,5% alc. Serving temperature 16 •c

Judas was launched in 1986 and was originally brewed in Brasserie Union at Jumet, until production moved to Alken in 2007.

Bottled I think the rating here is a bit lower than deserved. Pours a paler golden oragne with a mild head. Fruits etc and bitterness.

0.33 l bottle from a random Spanish supermarket. Deep golden color, no head (didnt expect any tho). Wheat, orange and alcoholic scents in the aroma (the alcohol got stronger with warming). Wheat, orange, citrus and alcoholic sweet taste with short, sweet finish. Medium body, lively carbonation. Decent.

Aroma of malts, light citrus fruits, yeast, light spices. Flavour is yeasty, a bit too sweet for my taste, alcohol. Not my kind of Belgian strong ale, too sweet and onedimensional.

До сих пор не могу поверить что это Бельгийский эль. По вкусу больше похоже на дешевый лагер с омерзительным послевкусием. Совершенно никакого аромата или букета. Да и еще отрыжка потом. В общем ужас и разочарование. Надеюсь такую Бельгию я больше не встречу.

330ml bottle. UK import. 8.5% abv. Source not noted. Last of the backlog rates to bring my "new start" on Brewver bang up to date. Quite boozy and not too special.
