Rather pale yellow; medium-thick head, white, fading fast. Vanilla, grain & alcohol in the nose; after some time, coriander just jumps out of the bottle. Sweet taste, coriander and faint citrus. Like a witbier without wheat. Faint saltiness. Medium bodied. fully attenuated - that's true to style. "Slight sweet with an agreable hopbiterness", the label wants it. Hopbitterness??? This tram would stop of fright if a hopcone showed itself. P*ss-poor.

Bottled. An unclear orange-amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of citrus and dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of dusty hops, malt, fresh peaches, and other over ripe fruits, as well as alcohol. The body is thin.

(I very much doubt this is actually brewed at Klein Duimpje. Scheldebrouwerij is much more plausible). Clear red amber; yellowish dense head, irregular. Rich cake aromas, fruity & estery (banana - and I would agree with Edo about some pear). faint bitter, again woody in character. Seems typical for Klein Duimpje. Not much else, but yeasty. Medium-bodied, bit thin texture - not Belgian. Glimpse of sweetness in the aftertaste. Certainly not bad, just not exciting.

Hazy mahogany; fine yellowish head, slowly fading. Nose is more bready-yeasty than honeyish. Roasted malts in evidence, some wood. Bitter-woody taste at first, slowly replaced by more sweet malt flavours, some roasted. Every sip gives new bitterish wood. Not too heavy, even refreshing, which is remarkable for a honey beer. Seems some alcohol shows, but at 5.5%, I'm wondering. Keeps a bit flat. And where's that honey?

Hazy brown color, medium lasting off-white head, some debris. Aroma is of roasted malts and a sharp metal/iron hint. Sweet and bitter taste, roasted again. Bitter palate.

Hazy orange brown color, medium lasting creamy head. Aroma is malty and fruity, bit bubblegum like in the La Trappe Quadrupel. Taste is also malty and sweet, bit alcoholic also. It reminds me of the La Trappe Quadrupel, which i like, but it's not as good.

Cloudy brown color with a red glow, short frothy head. Quite weak caramel, malty aroma. Sweet, sour, caramelly taste. Palate is not longlasting.

Quite typical porter style beer, but more honey sweet. Dark color, medium head. Aroma of roasted malts, rye, honey. Sweet honey taste combined with roasted maltiness. Average complexity. Average beer.

Foxy-amber, hazy. Thick creamy-white head, stable. Alcohol, caramel and roasted malts in the nose. Also orange zest, coriander. Definitely honey. Citrusy notes in the taste, some honey, fading sugar impression. Retronasal bitterness, once more as orange zest & coriander, how delightfully original! OTH, there is another retronasal flavour in the finish as chocolate filled with exotic fruit, reminscent of barley-wines. Excellent palate - it is as if the beer begins with a watery texture, and gradually fills in. A good try - as in thirteen-in-dozen. Oh well.

Yellow-orange head, immediately gone despite lively pearling. Orange-amber beer, very hazy, yeast in suspension. Orange zest, spices, lactic touch (no diacetyl). Bitterish on sweet base - again orange zest or preserved orange/kumquat flavours. Coriander more obvious than in nose. There is some alcohol-burn, but it comes only out after some time. Relatively light-bodied. Much spiciness in the aftertaste. Refreshing. Yeast gives a more creamy mouthfeel at the end. OK beer, light and refreshing and hence maybe a bit at odds with its ABV.
