Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is estery yeast with pale malt, spicy and light floral notes, some sugary fruity nuances. Flavour is moderate sweet with a light bitterness. Medium body. Mediocre Belgian Ale.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy blond coloured brew, not a Witbier, to low of alcohol for a Blond, to pale for a Belgian Speciale. But just good enough for me.

Light hazy blond colour, white foam. Too much carbonation. Rather dry, grassy and bitter. Ok.

Pas extraordinaire cette Hellekapelle. Celle-ci s'apparente tout au plus à une pils améliorée. LE visuel est de fait sympathique avec un blond limpide et une effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche ne nappant pas toute la surface. Le nez est relativement quelconque sur les céréales, de fines épices et un léger miel. Sur l'attaque les épices et le miel ressortent davantage avec un alcool, à 5 % qui est correct. Ce dernier faiblit cependant en seconde bouche avec, un intérêt somme toute limité. L'arrière bouche est une pointe plus dynamique avec un houblon légèrement plus présent tout comme le final, moyennement long. Rien de passionnant.

First beer after sickness, have to go easy I guess. Sediment inside, it is 2 months before BBD. Foam getting crazy. Had it stored in dark place for about a month now... Smell-weak Belgian, malt. Foam- weak acidic tones, weak malt, weak Belgian yeast. Head is large, white color. Appearance- beer-specific bottle cap color? Somewhat nice label.. feeling generous, no more rounding up. Clear yellow amber with bits of sediment inside, probably going bad... From- snifter Price- 2,49 euros Taste- acidic, malt, weak Belgian yeast. Sadly probably gone bad.. will not risk it.
