Bottle shared at tasting. Clear pale golden color, small white head. Smell and taste remind me of a yeasty Belgian blonde with floral notes and floral hoppiness. Witbier? Okay then....

6-6-6-6-5

330ml bottle. Opalescent, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, fluffy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Wheaty malty and slightly citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of orange peel, lemon peel, a touch of coriander. Taste is dry, spicy, minimally citrusy fruity hoppy, wheaty malty basis with subtle residual sweetness, peppery notes of coriander, a touch of orange peel. Oily-watery texture, dry palate, fine and soft, mildly prickly carbonation. A tad overspiced, quite standard in other respects, not overly refreshing - improvable.

Belgian style blonde with added plum juice, from a Dutch brewery – with a name referring to female genitalia, which in some parts of the Dutch language territory are also compared with plums, hence the link; immature and potentially offensive as the name of this brand may therefore be, it clearly works to get attention and it is now available in Belgian drinks stores as well. Snow white, thickly moussy, stable, shred-lacing head, initially clear yellow-golden robe, turning misty and deeper ‘old gold’ with sediment. Aroma of indeed some plum jelly and cooked plum rather than fresh plum juice, green banana, cereals, grass, cooked pear, coriander seed, cooked red cabbage sweetened with brown sugar, honey, old cotton cloth, dried out white bread. Crisp onset, green pear, vague banana and indeed (unripe) plum somewhere, with a certain degree of plum peel astringency; medium carb, white-bready and grainy pale maltiness with a touch of soapy coriander seed spiciness and mild grassy and floral hop bitterness in the end. Ends a tad powdery (yeasty) but altogether clean and measured, with traces of this altogether subtle plum peel astringency lingering; any true ripe plum (or even plum juice) flavour remains as good as absent. Not that I feel cheated, though – I can have a plum lambic like Tilquin’s Oude Quetsche any time instead of this rather ordinary, childishly named, attention-seeking blonde.

Small yellowish head over clear golden beer. Hops, fruity esters, parsley, and a bit meaty nose, at the same time aromatic. Bit metallic taste; fruity indeed, if difficult to name the fruit. Ends again bitter-metallic. Retronasal unripe fruit. Quite slick, medium carbonation, bit sticky. Not really great, uttely infantile name.

Very good, dense, yellowish head over orangey golden beer, finely carbonated. Textbook lace. Fruity hops' nose. Several fruity esters, peach certainly not excepted. Lupulin, nectarine, passion fruit. Bitter-ish, hoppy and fruity flavours. Again peach, nectarine, passion fruit, lunaria, (unripe) bananapeel. Quite hopoil slick, medium bodied, very well-carbonated. Quite good beer, utterly infantile name.

Lichtgeel bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is fruitig en licht bitter hoppig met iets van citrus, ananas en zowaar iets van pruimen. Best aardig bier.

Flesje gedeeld door Tomhendriksen. Zwart bier beige schuim dat als een film blijft liggen. Geen aroma of geur. Smaak is houtig, rokerig, vanille achtig en chocoladeachtig maar waterig. Nasmaak van vanille en bittere chocolade. Plakkerig in de mond.

Rozerood bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig en licht fruitig met iets van rode bessen, wat framboos en aardbei. In de geur is duidelijk iets van aardbei te bespeuren.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Kulenborgse Bierhandel.
Dark brown with a tan head. Pure Chocolate aroma with maybe some amarene cherries. Sweet taste with a chocolate bitter finish. I was fearing that this would turn out to be another sweet chocolate bomb but this choco porter is nicely restrained and pleasantly bitter.
