The St. Sebastiaan Golden is a golden, heavy fermented abbey beer with a distinctive fruity aroma and subtle hints of elaborately selected herbs. This St. Sebastiaan has a nice balance between sweet and bitter and has a nice full-bodied taste with a soft, malty aftertaste.

7,6% alc. 50 cl bottle bought at Alcampo, served in La Trappe chalice. Pours copperish amber with huge ivory head. Aroma is orange, iron filings, cookie dough, white flowers. Round, full-bodied, slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Long lasting. Not bad, although it seems too expensive to me (6,30€ per half litre). I agree that it comes with a nice bottle one might keep for water, though.

75cl bottle, labeled as grand cru. Pours unclear warm blonde. Small white head. Smell is sweet ( somewhat spiced sugary sweetness ) Taste is sharp, bit bitter. Definate sweet undertone ( Sugar, mild spices ) yeasty towards the end. Agressive carbonation that really triggers the bitterness. Somewhat malty underneath the other aspects. OK

Muy clara, pajiza, con escasa espuma muy efervescente que se va casi al instante. Aroma cítrico con algo de miel. Tono aguado, bajo cuerpo, alta carbonatación. Se asemeja a una tripel, pero mucho menos compleja. Entra muy facil y esconde bien (muy) el alcohol. Final entre dulce y amargo. Muy bebible.

Bottle (shared by suurjuust, thanks!). Pours golden with whiteish head. The head stays. Aroma is sweet, fresh fruits, citrus, malt. Flavor follows the nose. Overall: good.

Gyllengul vätska med tjock fluffigt skum. Jästig doft med peppar och örter. Torr, stram smak med hög neutral beska. Lite kluven men lutar åt bra öl.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head, Aroma is slightly fruity with a bit of pale malt in the backround. Flavor is super carbonated with a bit of fruit again and some wet paper bag malt. Finish is a sweetish fruit with more of a dull malt to follow. Nothing really good but it has a bit of fresh fruit and a cool ceramic stein you can save for future use.

Tripel-style ’kruikenbier’ by Sterkens, peach blond with fruity and lightly malty sweetness next to a certain yeastiness and mild herbal hops in the finish; I was a bit bothered by the thin, almost watery mouthfeel though, an ale this strong should have a lot more body. Not impressed.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Hazy almost opaque orangy color, medium sized white head. Smell malts, some fruityness, lightly sweet. Taste lightly malts, a slight fruityness, a bit more bitter in the flavor. Not bad.
