Clear deep blond color; big creamy head. Dry mouthfeel, simple, some sweetness at the end. Light malt aroma, a bit spicy. Too simple.

Amber colour, almost explosive bottle (75cl corked); giant head, wonderful lace.
Good malt aroma, a bit corky
Malty, sweet, smooth (the carbonation left the bottle time before, launching the cork till the edge of the garden), corky. The bitterness balances enough the sweetness.
Pretty good example of the style, but it lacks a better hop character, to be really good, being not so complex.

After all those weeks of German ’quality’, I was finally back to my favorite place of drinking beers: Kafe Belgie in Utrecht, Netherlands. And what did they have on tap: yess. The Floreffe Meilleure. Outstanding black color, cloudy and with a beautiful head. Chocolate and malts are the main ingredients of the perfume of this beer. Taste does remind me of a Rochefort, i’m gonna get one today i guess! Still it’s easy to drink and the mild well-balanced palate is a pleasure.

Beautiful black color, with a perfect head. Typical double beer, with sweet perfume and same flavor. Some malts are also present. I haven't smelled or tasted the anise. Curious about that. So maybe soon a rerate :-)

Clear blond wheat ale, with a persistent perlage. Dry aroma, of spices, coriander, lemon, peach (light), alcohol, champagne. Smooth, with a residual sweetness; not very strong 'wheat beer' character, but pleasant and well balanced flavors, with some malt. Dry finish, quite poor.

Blond ale, ordinary head. Nice hop aroma, with honey notes (maybe it's an old bottle), a bit fruity. Pretty nice malt taste, some sweetness, some niche hop notes. Palate not outstanding. Simple ale.
