75cl bottle. Pale straw with a thick billowing white head; heavily carbonated. Flowery, herbal hop aroma; thick and oily in the mouth with a sweet grainy flavour. Smooth and easy to drink, the alcohol being well masked.

Bottled. Golden colour, not much of a head. Aroma is alcohol, some fruity sweetness as well as mild notes of earth. Flavour is quite much the same, in a bad way, as the beer is totally out of balance and also quite harsh.

Huge, just off-white head, fluffy, fast disappearing over pale golden beer with a light hazy sheen. Pale malts, cookie malts and alcohol in the nose, spicy. Cheap alcohol flavour, sweet, scorched sugar, caramel-like. Little sourishness, fleeting. Rather well-carbonated, bit aggressive, burning MF. Kind of luxus version of a malt liquor. I hope Rodenbach gets payed well for having this lying around - beats me for what purpose.

75 cL bottle, beautiful bottle with a nice print directly on the bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a slowly collapsing white head. Dry bitterhops aroma with a mild cornish and citrus note. Smooth flavour with a light fruity accent and mild sweet corn note. Goes into a light bitterness in the finish - still matched with a nice sweet cornish and light citrus note. Good balance.

Canned. Pale golden, brief head. Fruity nose. Sweet and thick. Fruit syrup and peppery alcohol is there. medium bodied with little substance and no bitterness. Drinkable for it’s size - but that’s about it.

Bottle at home ... Crisp golden yellow ... Mellow fruity slightly belgian hop nose ... nice crisp clean but more a mellow belgian triple than a lager ... and from my tasting much better than the 24th percentile its currently sitting at.

Pale golden beer with a big whitish head. Mineral, slight grass aroma. Some earthiness, fruitiness, sweet malt flavor, but little depth. Very carbonated. A bit of spice lingers. Spritzy.
