Dit amberkleurig bier is gebrouwen uit diverse mouten en graansoorten, oa met onze Belgische hop uit Poperinge. Het geheel is gearomatiseerd met een twaalftal natuurlijke kruiden waarvan sommige - volgens de Middeleeuwse literatuur - met een geneeskrachtige werking. Een drievoudig gistingsproces bezorgt het bier een zacht en honingachtig aroma.

Bottle split at the Centrum Hotel, Beersel, 20/11/15. Clear golden with a big ole egg shell white covering that retains well. Nose is light spice, yeast esters, bread, trace of ginger, light herbal, dark fruit flash. Taste comprises sweet malt, caramel, candied fruit peel, sweet, light ginger. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent for style.

25 cl bottle @ Take One, Maastricht. Aroma has toffee, apricot and sweet malt. Flavour has toffee, apricot. Foamy and somewhat sticky palate. Sweet toffee overdose but drinkability is still ok. Belgian yeast is clearly present.

Specialty beer taken over by Strubbe in 1992 from a micro brewery which ceased activities meanwhile, if I am correctly informed. Golden blonde, thirst-quenching, sweetish, fruity beer with aniseed, which is applied in a subtle way and therefore - fortunately - not dominant. Good session beer, but rather thin in body and character.
