355mL can, courtesy of Oakes (thank you!), pours a cloudy dark orange amber with a large beige head with long retention. Aroma has that signature spicy Unibroue yeast, with bready malt, a touch of caramel, and red berries. Flavour is quite muted, with plenty of bready malt, some spicy yeastiness, and washed out earthiness. I don’t get the connection to Maudite, and there's not much complexity here. Drinkable, but pretty weak stuff.

Ruddy colour. Bit murky. Medium head. Different yeast character from the usual Unibroue. Soft, sweet, lightly caramelly malts. Gentle esters, lightish body. I don't get Maudite vibes from this but it's not too bad.

Poured from 355mL can (thanks fiulijn). Lightly hazed amber brown with off white head. Unibroue yeast, but quite watery, feint caramel, really bland with very feint spice. Meh. Very shitty version of Maudite.

Same profile as it's bigger brother. Light spice, light fruit. Typical unibroue yeasty flavour, but it's subdued. Crisp, and easy drinking.

Caramelised malt and kind of sour fruits aroma. Taste is quite similar with caramelised malt, yeast, and some apricot and cherry.

It feels like I'm drinking an entirely different beer than my fellow RB raters. I'm not seeing what Joe Craigs and RobinV are mentioning. Watery brown pour. Taste is like it's famed big brother but just so much thinner. Sure I'm getting yeasty notes, toasted malts, a little spice. And sure it a light, but man, it's like the sad sequel. Can from the Unibroue summer mix case from the beer store.

Pours deep, clear mahogany into a tulip. Tan head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Dark molasses aromas. Medium bodied with light golden syrup and dry clove front to back. I wanted to like this more...

Fairly clean, just getting a tad haziness near last pour. Amber colour with golden highlights. The frothy head is off-white, decent lasting and leaving streaks of soapy lacing. Your typical Unibroue yeast, Belgian nose with some mild spices, hints of wood and vanilla. Smooth mouthfeel, on the thin side with decent dryness in the finish. Aromas keep on developing as it breathes with caramel notes, apples. Oak flavours, some spices, watery caramel and hoppiness in the end. Nice to have a lighter version of this classic, celebrating 30 years of the original.

Can: Poured a brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing Aroma of caramelized alt with some spices and light peppery notes. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes with some light spice notes and a light pepperry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Easy drinking with a good amount of complexity.
