A light yet fullbodied beer, a healthy thirst quencher with a delicious hop flavour. A traditional beer with high fermentation level, produced in small quantities, using only natural ingredients: hops, yeast, water and malt.

33 cL bottle. pours hazy orange to yellow with a lacing white head. Aroma is light fruity, light spiced. Mild brett-ish note. Flavour is light spiced, mild brett acidic and with a dry malt flavour. Ends slight woody dry, reminds me a bit about oxidisation without being bad.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, rich lively head. Lightly lactic nose. Dry, light and creamy. Fresh and milky with a touch of cherry, some honey and gooseberry. Almost no bitterness. A mild, quenching light Belgian ale.

Bottle: Poured a hazy beige color ale with a foamy head with a good size foamy head with good retention but minimal lacing. Aroma of dry malt with a funny yeast smell. Taste is a weird mix between some dry malt, bad funky yeast and some dry hops. Full body with some good carbonation. Definitely not the best beer from this usually fine brewery.

Bottle. The label seems nicked on ’03’. Aroma of ripe persica and armeniaca stone fruits. There is a bit of prunus domestica. [Ain’t Wikipedia and Google great.] It is something like the fruits have been cooked for jam. The color is orange gold, and the beige head tried hard but didn’t achieve much. Medium bodied; near creamy carbonation. Slightly bitter stone fruits, and the noble hop may be contributing to the refreshing amount of bitter. The finish is a bit caramel, more than balanced by fruit and hop bitter. Maybe they used peach skins. It’s not at all sticky, and it is very good indeed. Makes my mouth pucker and long for more.

Bottle: Poured a hazy almost floating ghost like tenticals in the yellow with a white foamy head, sounds of carbonation. The aroma is sour fruit. The taste was like rusty metal, very hoppy. Diffrent as like most Brouwerij de Bie!

Pours a cloudy colour, quite a lot of sediment, nice aroma, some citric fruit in there. Nice spicey taste, tastes stronger than it is alcohol wise, good hop flavours. Good example of the style, nothing particularly unique about it, but it tastes nice.

Bottle, 5%. Chalky, bready aroma. Quite cloudy golden colour, sparkling. Small white head. Slightly metallic flavour with a little sourness. Yeasty aftertaste. Starts out rather poorly, but turns out to be drinkable after a few sips. The sourness makes it slightly interesting, but still strange.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is honey and spices with lots of earthy notes. Flavour is wheat, yeast, fruits, alcohol, hops and slight caramel. Tripel meets witbier or something like that. Quite nice!
