Orange color, cloudy. Creamy head, disappearing slowly. vanilla and yeast aroma and flavor. Some hops, but yeast overshadows other flavors. Not a pleasure to drink.

4 May 2019. At Heeren van Liedekercke. Cheers to Anke's birthday! Pours hazy ochre with a lasting, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of yeast tablet, unripe banana & pear, apple peel, old bread, wet hay. Taste is light fruity sweet, apple & pear, faint estery banana, white sugary character, very bready & yeasty with spicy bitter tones of grass, straw & dull grain. Dry, yeasty, slightly grassy hoppy finish, lingering grain, bread, subtle fruit. Medium body, slick-creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Dull all the way, but drinkable.

33 cl bottle from the old Sam's Wines, 2009. Date notch 2006. Another beer I probably should have pulled from the cellar many years ago. Ah, well. Nose on this does have the slightly medicinal smell of an aged, malty beer. No spoilage. But a note of plum and raisin that's kind of nice. Color is brown to brassy, with just a light ring of foam around the rim. Taste is malty, just a little fruity, pretty good. Slight note of maple syrup. But the mouthfeel comes across a little bit thin. Perhaps that's what's kept this from coming out as oxidized. Altogether, it's middlin' for an old beer, but maybe should have held on to a bit more character.

Bottle from the Old House, Wellingborough. Golden and hazy with a light ring of soapy white head. Light aroma: some butterscotch, apricot and gently spicy yeast, with a light vegetal note. Much improved taste, with the yeasty sweetness buoyed up by an earthy nutty character. Subtle hop bitterness in the finish. Very capable and certainly enjoyable.
