19th Oct 2012. 33cl bottle (8% ABV) poured into the correct stemmed tulip @ ’t Puur Genot, a strange Irish type bar in Diest: I was there for the small Diest Beer Festival which was the following day. A huge head of white foam sat on top of the dull amber/yellow body which was slightly cloudy. Actually the head tasted and had a better aroma than the beer below! The head gave off a powerful bitter hop aroma and tasted very simular: when I got down to the beer it was all a bit calmer and less intense. Yeasty, fruity and maltier than the intitial foaming head taste: still hop bitter, but it had lost its ’umph’ and I didn’t really enjoy the beer once all the other flavours joined in. Lets just call it different and difficult to score objectively.

Pour is a dirty blond with a small white head. Aroma is a apple cider with a strong yeastyness. Flavor is citrus fruity and a nice fresh hop. Finish leaves some mild sweetness with a little bite of tartness. This was a good beer a month past its prime but for $2 outta the bargan bin this was a nice find.

Bottle: Presumably golden, very cloudy to milky; huge slowly collapsing off-white head; distinctive, call it peppery, hoppy nose with a robust sweet- fruity (oranges) background; robust bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering piney-hoppy finish balanced by a strong sweet fruitiness. Very nice brew.....

Muddy brown pour. Initial sweetness falls flat and heavy on the taste buds. Very dirty beer. Lots of sediment and earthiness. Rated 4/13/10

33cl Bottle from Achelse Kluis. Golden orange colour, white head. Aroma is very spicy, yeast, fruity, apples, malts. Flavour is very yeasty (St.Bernardus like), malty, light spicy, bit of coriander, fruity, bitter hoppy finish. Medium bodied, just a tiny bit overcarbonated. Nice blond ale.
