33cl bottle courtesy of and shared with Bierridder and Tderoeck.
BB 09/02/2019 - big gushed alert.
Dorée sur un fin trouble doré, col blanc.
Arôme est classique belge, petite pointe rappelant le gingembre avec des effluves de houblons nobles tout autant classiques avec des effluves fines terreuses, citronnées.
Palais est malté pâle, pils cara, sucre résiduel qui perdure avec un petit ajout épicée.
Alcool se ressent bien - houblonné noble avec un fini collant aux lèvres.
Vu ce qui se brasse partout en Belgique et la nouvelle vague craft - cette bière est bloquée 20 ans en arrière. Passable.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 6 Dec 2017) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of peaches, coriander and green apples. Fruity, malty taste with peaches, coriander, soft malt, grass and a mild herbal bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Quite strong, but tasty and really well balanced for its strength. Nice one.

Bottle at home. Has an amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma of wet hay, almonds, alcohol, apricots and pale malt. The flavour is similar. Has a soft and slick mouth feel, medium to full body and a light bitterness. Sweet, malty and well balanced.

0,33 flaske fra Belgisk Bryg hjemme jan-19: den har det travelt med å komme ut av flaska (bb. 090219), men jeg er alltid beredt og får mesteparten av innholdet pent parkert i glasset. Klar gylden med højt skum. Hvite rips, jordbær, kardemomme og muligens litt koriander. Sødmen balanserer krydderinntrykket, så dette glir problemløst over ganen. Saftig, fruktig og delikat på alle måter. Alkoholen er godt skjult og merkes først i mageregionen. En lekker juleøl, best på julaften +/- seks måneder. Inspirerende følge til Elgars fiolinkonsert (Kennedy/LPO/Handley) på stereoanlegget.
