One of the staple tap beers of Dubuisson-owned Brasse-Temps, tasted in the Mons establishment but equally available at the other one in Louvain-la-Neuve, probably following the exact same recipe but physically brewed at another location; I will leave it to the admins to decide whether both ‘versions’ should be aliased or not but since I had this at Brasse-Temps Mons, it seemed logical to add it under their proper brewery entry. Medium thick, regular, pale greyish-tinged white, stable, moussy head on a hazy brownish copper-coloured beer with deep amber hue. Aroma of red apple, wet peanuts, lightly toasted bread, sweet field flowers, hard caramel candy, rainwater, dry tree leaves, sugared tea. Sweetish apple and dried tomato peel onset with a very light banana-ish accent, very minerally, souring carbonation, lean and slick caramelly malt body, more nutty in the middle and eventually lightly bitterish toasted pairing with a floral, bit herbal hop bitterish accent in the finish, a tad leafy but the caramelly and lightly toasty maltiness dominates. Simple, typical Belgian amber ale, albeit a tad darker and maltier than is the case in a standard ‘spéciale belge’; quenching and nice on a hot day but very easy and accessible, clearly made for a lesser educated, conservative Belgian palate.

Draft @ Bush&Trolls, Dubuisson brewery in Pipaix. Couleur dorée, foin, col blanc. Blanche solide au nez agréable d’agrumes et citron, le tout sur qcq notes de froment. J’y ai noté très peu d’épices ou d’orange. En bouche, bière légère et agréable avec un bon profile malt et grains. Le tout garde un aspect fruité citronnelle sans pour cela offrir le côté épicé que l’on retrouve en général dans des blanches.

Draught at the brew pub Hazy yellow body. White, creamy to rocky, firm head. A lot of citrus, coriander, thyme, ... Very intense aroma. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Unattractive. Not disgustingly bad, but certainly not good.

Draught at the brew pub Deep amber to reddish, hazy body. Creamy head with brown hints. Some lightly smoked flavours with some fruits. It was hard to tell because it was served way too cold. My taste buds were frozen and the aromas didn’t have the chance to leave the beer. Lightly bitter flaovur with some fruity notes. Not very attractive flavour and not very well balanced as well.

Draught Fully pale hazy yellow with slight green shine and a small white head. Coriander, fruity, citrus, nothing but bien classique . Not a classical taste, however!. Tastes of fresh greenmalt, unfermented worts, very little either coriander, either citrus; malts in the front again at the end. Light, and of course, much grist slickness. Tastes as if it were brewed this morning (tasting at 1600.PM)

Draught Small amberish-pinkish head over fully clear amber-red beer. Diacetyl and caramel jumping out of the glass: my favourite mixture, and quite intense at that. Sweet, bananaester, diacetyl and already pointing at infection. Buttery MF, fully slick. Ohmegod. Students have no taste, just need alcohol, I suppose?
