Dark brown color. Very nice aroma, malty and fruity, hops. Balanced mouthfeel, with some malt, caramel, candi sugar, hops and light fruitness. Interesting and pleasant.

Draught Hazy chestnut brown; very dense, reasonably stable cream-coloured beer. Very spiced nose, like cumin, celeri salt & nutmeg, maybe really thyme. Not bad at all. Dry spiced taste, but not at all like the nose: more piney, root-spice like. Very obvious dark malts. Actually it’s better than the bottled version I tasted earlier. This has a balance, lacking in the earlier version. Well bodied, nearly chewy. I like to think the brewery is trying to ameliorate. That’s the best anyone could say on any brewery.

Bottled (BB MA/2005)
Hazy yellow with a good foamy white head, lace. Aroma is a bit Orval-like: malts, lemon and horseblanket. Grapefruit dominates flavor, tasty. Not very strong body, alcohol is also hidden quite well. Citrusy, refreshing, propably a nice summer beer.

Dark brown, specks; quite white head, smallish. Very restrained nose, some chocolate, dark malt, bit of alcohol, leafy. Sweet, bit of liquorice and caramel malts, precious little else. Thin watery, beer. All body seems to come from the sugar. This is a disgrace, especially at 5.9 Euro’s for 33cl!

Chestnut brown, red shine; off-white, small head. Quite oppressive, "double" nose; bread, nutty, alcohol and sweet. Sweet taste, bread again, a bit of banana and maybe some liquorice. Like a lesser, sweeter version of Westmalle dubbel, to even worse, Leffe-like. Well bodied, but much less attenuated than the Brice; slick MF. I felt exhilarated by the Brice. This Joup, however, is nowhere in the league - rather like the big commercial brunes.

Very pale gold, clear; little white rim. Nice nose, bit lemon, citrus and fresh, unadulterated (green) tea (regular, not Gun Powder or something similar). Bit of mint as well. Again spicey taste, sage I’d say. Dry, and (pale) malt in abundance. Quite tripel-like, but little or no alcohol trace. Medium bodied, obviously well-attenuated. Dry, but some sweetness in the palate. That’s a nice one. On the verge of tripel and Belgian style blond ale.
