Pink color, pinkish dense red. Raspberry aroma. Absolutely dry with floral bitterness. Creamy and hoppy, withb touches of citrus, raspberry and alcohol. Prickly mouthfeel. Different from the "old" Speciale 6 as I remember it, but good enough.

One of those remnants of a bygone era, as there are still quite a lot in Belgium, leading a quiet village life in the hands of old family brewers and in the shadows cast by the larger brands. Even the label is obsolete. This is a ’versnijbier’, a blend of lambic with brown beer, following an old Brabant tradition which was especially popular in the thirties. This one has a off-white, irregular, moussy head, strong and even some gushing, over a brownish, cloudy amber beer with vivid sparkling. Aroma is fruity and yeasty with clear sourish hints, grape juice, pear, peach, dough, brown sugar, lemon peel, walnuts, cloves. Fresh taste, fruity sourish, medium carbo with subtle citrus, more neutral in the middle with a soft nutty and wheaty backbone, yeasty and dryish finish with some tartness again and very light aromatic hoppiness, not bitter. Interesting, I hope things like this will keep holding their own, but it is perhaps more of a museum piece than a commercially living beer.

Bottle @ De Zytholoog. Hazy amber colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Sweet aroma of caramel, brown sugar and honey with malty notes and bread. Strange beer.

Bottle from Half Time (2008/01/08). Pours a hazy, diry amber with a frothy 3 finger white head. Aroma is red berry fruity, but there’s something that made me think of Homocebrin (which had a little cod liver oil I think). Med body; frothy carb. I’m going with mixed red berry for flavor. Another weird departure in the Belgian beer world.

Bottle from Asao. Cool label. Very fruity aroma, seems like raspberry, though the Japanese label says pomegranite. That also accounts for the color which goes oast amber to a reddish-orange. Lace on top. Fruity, sweet flavor with a golden ale malt character and a slight dryness near the finish. Prickly bitterness in the after taste. Sligtly beer-like though the fruit dominates. Dry, bitter finish saves it. Interesting. Tastes mainly like a fruit beer to me, but no wheere else have I seen mention of then pmegranite being added...

bouteille 33cl. Ambre, mousse beige légère; Arôme est étonnamment bien fruité donnant des notes de baies, un peu de malt caramel. En bouche, je note ce côté unique de la pomme grenadier dont je ne raffole pas habituellement de par son acidité mais cette fois ci le tout est bien balancé par cet aspect sucré laissé par le sureau. A noter aussi, malt cara laissant une fine amertume avec un fini ayant une touche de fleurs de houblons.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a big and persistent slightly off-white foamy head. Yeasty, slightly soapy and distinctively sour-fruity aroma with notes of citrus, elder- and raspberries, accompanied by a mildly malty background. Slightly sour and sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Soft (cara-)malty base with fruity notes and a soapy and slightly veggie touch; mildly sour and slightly perfumed fruity finish. Not very special. 07.XII.10

330 ml bottle. Slightly hazy, dark golden with a creamy white head. Aroma is refreshing fruity with a hint of acid. Flavor is refreshing fruity, red berries, malt malty and a bit acidic. Not bad but not in balance, a bit plain and short flavored.

Bright pink-tinged amber with a lovely puffy white head. High bead. A sniff made me look at the ingredients - the aroma is dominated by elderflowers and pomegranates. I would have guessed some cherries too. Sweet and cordial-like with some underlying funky sourness. Very light-bodied. Dry finish with medicinal touches.. Refreshing. An odd beer, and a good substitute for a Campari and soda as an aperitif.
