Amber coloured top-fermented beer, brewed according to an old traditional recipe. A tasty beer, mellow in character that you can carry on drinking.

Classic and stereotypical ’spéciale belge’ under the Petrus brand, a hodgepodge of totally unrelated beers marketed by Bavik (now De Brabandere). Pure amber colour, clear, medium off-white foam, aroma of restrained fruitiness, nutty and bready malt sweetness, a bit yeasty, some grassy hops; dried fruits in the mouth, honeyish sweet touch, nutty and caramelly malts, a bit thin body, fairly neutral, with some grassy hop bitterishness in the finish. Good quencher and actually not a bad example of this session style at all.

amber colour, moderate sized off-white head; aroma of raisin, figs, floral hops, yeast and some caramel; taste of yeast, caramel, dried fruity notes, hints of honey and maybe some bread; intensive carbonation; good Belgian ale - much better than La Trappe Puur I’ve tasted just before this - at least for me :-)

Bottle. Hazy medium orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Nose of crackers, toast, and caramel. Light body, bready and dusty with light herbal notes. Hints of cardboard. Mediocre.

Bottle @ home shared by Thompson. Clear copper color, medium sized quickly diminishing white head that leaves fair lacing. Smell and taste malts, lightly iron, straw, a bit sweet-bitter. Average body, suitable carbonation. Decent exemple of a Speciale Belge, although that’s not a separate style on RB.

Flaske delt med Ovesen: flott skum og klar gylden farge. Lite aroma, og smaken er ganske så intetsigende. Men den deilige ettersmaken gjør den allikevel lett å nyte.
