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.

750ml corked bottle. Hazy, translucent brownish-amber. Big head that fades out within a minute. The aroma has some spice, but mostly yeasty amber malt. Soft on the palate, this is a relatively straightforward Belgian Amber. A little suspect age-wise, as I scooped this one up for a whopping $3.49. Rather mellow on the spice, more dominated by the pungent, fruity amber malt. Certainly underwhelming for a Belgian beer. Potentially too old for it’s own good, who knows. Not recommended.

At De Heeren Van Liedekercke, bottle from 1989, 20 years old
Amber color, flat look. The aroma is very oxidized. No carbonation, sweetish caramel flavor, very light sourness (pleasant); the bitterness is gone, lightly liquorous. It’s surely over the top, too oxidized, but still interesting.

Zipps Fall 2008. Malt aroma. Medium sweet flavor with grain and yeast. Moderate hop dryness, but I don’t taste or smell any spice. No fruit character, which I expected. Still, good and very drinkable.

Bottled (CK, BB 12/2009). Nut brown - amber hazy color, lots of floating yeast, small beige head. Peppery, caramel malty and fruity aroma, a bit dusty. Very foamy mouthfeel. Also thin and watery. Taste has mainly yeast powder, white pepper and iron. Tasty a bit like a home brew - as description says this is originally home brew. Useless.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Deep amber colour with mediumsized off-white foamy head. Aroma is tropical fruits, nectar, caramel malts, some slight nuttyness as well as yeast. Flavour is caramel malts, some syrup, fruits, yeast and liquorice. Mild notes of some flowery hops as well. Pleasant and balanced brew.

750ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head and a hazy copper body. Aroma of fruity esters, plastic, yeast and chocolate. Taste is fruity with plastic, alcohol and grain. Lively carbonation and a dry mouthfeel.

Bottle, pours a deep carmel with a very nice and tall off white head. Aroma is light and bready. Almost smells like an apple cinnamon muffin. Sweet with a little spice. Taste is quite boring. A very thin mouth starts lightly sweet with a light lemon flavor that ends dry with a faint earthy sour/bitterness. This stuff looked and smelled so good, but it failed to deliver.
