A traditional & authentic old style Belgium beer, pure malt and hops, without spices or additives. A floral nose of freshly cut straw, aromas of grilled cereals with a of hint of pepper. Well balanced with a subtle touch of bitterness at the end. The beer’s foam is dense and consistent. A light refreshing beer to be savoured.

Small disappearing head over bright coppery-golden beer. Bit oppressive herbal-grassy nose, with not much behind. Some meaty esters. Dull sweetish-peppery-spicy. But even that sounds better than it really is. Traces of maltsyrup, but watered down. Apt carbonation. Dull, dull... is this the future of Belgian microbrew?

12/VIII/13 - 50cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte) @ home - BB: 18/VII/15 (2013-761)
Note: probably one of the first times I was obliged to drink a beer and absolutely didn't feel like having one. But we needed my tasting notes for the 4de Gents Bierfestival. Ok then. :p
Clear orange beer, big creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: quite a lot of banana, dusty, sugary, some citrus, a bit off. Mf: ok carbon, light body. Taste: a lot of banana, sugary, lots of yeast, bit metallic, hoppy touch. Aftertaste: more banana, metallic, sugary, grains, some citrus, grassy hops, bit of bubble gum.

50cl @ 9ième fête de la bière namuroise. Split with the Gambrinus crew. BB 17.07.2015. Dorée, col blanc fin. Arôme est houblonné frais, note de drêche, malt subtile approchant un fumé léger. Palais présente un houblon amer léger dans un style européen noble. Levure d’abbaye avec une influence directe de Val-Dieu. Note de grains-levure, je note aussi qcq esters fruité, fini sec et houblonné. Solide, comme les deux versions, et on voit bien l’influence et l’expérience d’un ex-brasseur de Val-Dieu.
