Pours deep hazy gold into a tulip. Significant conglomerate head leaves oily lacing. Heavy yeast, caramel, and alcohol aromas. Sweet tropical fruit, graham cracker and caramel with a slightly metalic, sour lasting bitter finish.

Draught Very pale yellow, creamy white head, lace. Lemony, "dishwater nose". Lemony hoppy, citrusy, also in the aftertaste. A bit thin malty background withouth being sparse. Well hopped.

Thanks to Degarth for this one1 This opens with a big frothy head over a medium yellow body. Aroma consists of apples, fruit and some spice. The thin, watery palate brought little of what was promised in the aroma. Very restrained level of flavor really disappointed. Light and refreshing, nothing here to offend, just not a very robust flavor for a Belgian Ale.

Fully hazy red-amber; small but persistent off-white head. The classic Andelot "wild ale" nose, little phenols, slight sourishness, a bit of rosewater - alcohol AND fusels. Heavily loaded spices, flowery notes (again rosewater), but the palate is surprisingly clean. Some fruit: ripe pears come to mind. Very smooth with a deliberate alcohol punch. Balance is still very good. Mijnheer Naudts, wil U alstublieft beginnen met die dingen hier ook te verkopen? Ja? Big thanks to Proef’s WA importer for the tasting.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy golden with a creamy, white head leaving a neat lacework. Some traces of Brett in the aroma. Only a medium body, very dry with a vague underlying tang. Brewed for the American market where there seems to be a constant demand for Brett - also in other styles than Gueuze/Lambic. For a Belgian this is not the real McCoy, but still it’s quite fresh. Thanks to Degarth for sharing. 090406

A hazy red beer with a huge bubbly brown head. The aroma is sweet yeasty and hoppy - the hops giving it a slight dusty touch, but also hints of berries. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of over ripe fruits and prunes, leading to a dry woody end. A quite drinable beer. Thanks MadsBerg for sharing.

Bottle. Ruby-amber color with a great off-white head. Tart aroma with cherries/strawberries, malt and a bit of dust. Sweet/tart flavor - nice fruitiness (again cherry/strawberry). Sweetness cuts any acidic tendencies. Nice balance, but could be a bit more tart. Nice complexity. A bit of a fruit roll-up flavor, but doesn’t take much away. Sweeter than most sours.

Very light colored amber pour with an aggressive head. Citrus elements aplenty with lemon, lime, and some flowery tastes. Light quality in the texture, it seemed to lose the citrus sharpness as it warmed up. Basically good, but not great.
