Made for the folkloristic society Pierlala-Ursel but meanwhile taken over by the Musketeers in Sint-Gillis-Waas and now only brewed on demand at large quantities. The original Van Steenberge version was probably an alias of Augustijn Blond, while the current - much less strong - version is a known alias of Troubadour Speciale. The picture here represents the current Musketeers label for reference.

Nose of grains, malt, cocos, a sweet smell that is characteristic for the brewery; later some citrusfruit notes too, and other yeasty aromas. Colour is dull (yeast somewhat in suspension) orange. Very fine, slightly irregular white head, quite stable. Sweet taste, with typical fruity, orangey-bitter surrounding. Like it or loathe it - I could do with a little less sweetness. It is not cloying. Retronasal gets notes from orange-filled chocolate. Definitely alcohol in the mouthfeel, reasonably full-bodied. The taste keeps evolving, in the aftertaste, the flavours turn to some kind of fruit-liqueur, quite pleasing. To be honest, this brewery gives me the creeps for its unending label-story. Pierlala is a labelbeer for the town of Ursel, probably Augustijn. But, as the hands are shown, there isn't much wrong with the beer itself. You could get much worse...
