(Bottle 33 cl) Beauttiful clear chestnut coloured with a thick, creamy head. Sweetish, malty lightly perfumy aroma. Soft, malty with some vinous notes. And then again some perfume in the flavour, I believe there’s quite some coriander in here (one for you Joris....). Subdued bitterness. A very lovely brew. Brewed for a Belgian supermarket chain - back label mentions "SCAPR SA". 150905

A hazy orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet malty and yeasty, while the flavor is sweet and dominated by yeast. A plain Belgian Ale.

Draught Fully hazy, light-yellow beer; ultra dense & fine, just off-white head. There’s apple... yes... there’s a bl**dy hell more bl**din’ coriander! Soupy to put it mildly. Again coriander dominating everything, the palate excepted: here I find very sweet, yellow apples, even dried ones from last years’ harvest. Sticky, cloying. Inexisting refreshing qualities. Even the apples’ denomination is usurped. Let alone the "Bock" sound.

Draught in Aarhus, Denmark. Pale golden milky colour, low head. Typical witbier aroma and flavour of orange peel and coriander, but there’s also a sufficient base of wheat malts and hops to support it. Well balanced, smooth and very pleasant and refreshing to drink. Not a beer that pops up and says BOOH! - but a very nice one all the same.

Very pale yellow; huge, velvety looking white head. Lots of coriander in the nose, but citrus, wheat and other aroma’s (vanilla?) make it quite acceptable, smells even inviting. Very dull, nearly apologetic taste. Some coriander, citrus gone, (non-sweet) dough-like flavour remaining. Pale in comparison to the nose. Light, refreshing but not helped by the absence of citrus. I was expecting more from the much-hailed Du Bocq white. Tasted under the name "Meessen blanche Vagant . I cannot understand InBev has let this trough, as the label has been conceived in order to be a clone from the Hoegaarden one.

(Bottle 75 cl) Special limited Millennium edition from Du Bocq - comes in a beautiful bottle with "painted" label. Pale, slightly hazy ale with a huge head. Pronounced sweetness and extremely full-bodied without being sticky or cloying. Has some wheaty touches. 240501

My "fastest" beer on the ground: sampled in the Thalys train between Bruxelles-Paris (300 km/h).
Dark ruby, big creamy tanned head. Nutty, fruity (plums) nose. Medium to full bodied. Fruity, sugary palate. Alcohol picks up in the middle. Slightly bitter in the finish. Good balance between sweet fruits and bitterness.

Bottled. Nut brown. There’s red currant and dark chocolate in the nose. It’s dry and roasty with notes of licorice and an intense salty finish. Really good!
