Pretty much almost a pilsener. Thank god I don’t really taste palmnut or coconut or some other weird thing they’ve used in some of their other beers. This one at least is a decent beer.

This one tastes quite much like a regular pilsener. The palmnut doesn’t really help nor wreck this beer. I don’t see why someone should pick this one for fun.. but for a mongozo beer it’s not that bad.

Clear brown with floaties, huge smooth creamy beige head. Appetizing fruity and belgian yeasty aroma, fruit peel, yellow fruits, distinctly belgan, flavor however is sort of fruity sweet, caramelly, not much bitterness, with a strong herbal bitterness towards the end. palate is a little more watery than usual. if You like herbal bitterness, then perhaps this one is okay, but i find it not that pleasant. Apart from the bitterness, and the bad play into the bitterness with too sweet fruits, and too sweet caramel, the flavor is okay.

bouteille 33cl ambre claire avec énormément de sédiments, col blanc. profile garde pas mal de sucre avec ce côté de noix de palm. Malt caramel, noisette, bonne effervescence, dommage que tout est ruiné par autant de sédiments flottant dans cette bière. Comme quasi toutes les bières de cette série, seuls les fruits valent la peine de gouter cette bière.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Dark brown beer. Crisp palate. Fruity and tart. Quite a distinctive taste. Nice.

First Snowfall of the Season tasting in Odense. Dark golden with a lasting white head. Weak aroma of grain and fruit. Sweet and fruity flavour with the slightest hint of nuts or caramel, and a mineral, drying finish. Pretty boring mainstream Belgian blonde
