In 750 mL. Hazy blonde with an extra thick bubbly white head. Yeasty lemony aroma with light orange peels. Sweet alcohol gin, with good sustained hoppiness. Creamy and complex mouthfeel. Pleasing, as I remembered from last drinkng this nectar. Thanks to Dumdum, via Capflu.

A hazy orange beer with a huge white head. The aroma is very spicy with notes of yeast, coriander, and orange peel. The flavor is very sweet and very spicy again with notes of the yeast, coriander, orange peel as well as the alcohol - the end is a little dry and woody. But the alcohol is not as present in the sample I’m rating since it is more than 2 years old as it is in a fresh bottle - I like the more subtle alcohol presence in the aged version best.

Bottle, 7%. Mild aroma of brown sugar. Hazy dark brown colour. Big stable creamy tan head. The flavour is roasted with some barley bitterness and a little brown sugar. Not extreme, on the contrary quite well balanced.

At last! (My personal favourite session beer that I cannot get for any session. This order took me the better part of a year. Unless I go for the order, of course...) Huge, creamy yellowish head, slowly collapsing; pale yellow beer with fading orange and green shades, quite carbonated. Cream, malt, breaddough, fruity, nutty and somewhere mouldy aroma’s. Iron & hopbitterness in the head; flavours of fresh whitebread, aromahops and dried apples (but not sweet). Quite bitter, mixture of hops and walnut peel. Light bodied, first creamy, then mineral water MF. Bit adstringent in the finish. Extreme long bitter aftertaste; refreshing à souhait . Having tasted that many others in between, this reappeared maybe a bit less gloriously than rosy memory painted it. But it is still a rare treat: a light Belgian ale to cherish if found.

Medium cloudy golden with a lovely head. Aroma of clove, banana, alcohol, and other spices. Heavy on the alcohol in the tatse, but it’s offset by spices, including clove- which it could use abit more of. Nice.

Cloudy golden with a very white head. Lots of bubbles. Full wheat beer aroma of hay, lemon and banana. Complex flavour that begins bitter/sweet and ends with a long bitter/acid aftertaste. A bit too much alcohol flavour though.

Pours a very deep red. Aroma is of alcohol. Flavor is fruity, mostly cherries. Nothing really stands out though. I thought this would be more flavorful. Oh well it’s good for a try and better than most.

Bottle from fonefan & charlotte
Hazy blonde colour with a thin head. The aroma is yeast with orchard fruits and a subtle herbal hoppiness. The palate is dry, very spicy and quite yeasty. Lots of spicy, herbal hop in the lean finish. Firm pale malt character and maybe some minerals makes this a fairly moreish product. Tasty! Old rating, Akkurat, 2004
Dull gold colour. Aroma of peasrs, mint and a slightly Orvalish house yeast. Light body. Slightly wheaty, fruity (pear, apricot, apple) and a good dusty yeast character. They’re hoarding this? It’s their best beer. 7-2-7-4-15 = 3.5

Pours a tan color with a nice white head. Aroma is yeasty and fruity. Flavor is yeast,banana and cloves with a nice spicy bite. Alcohol is present. It fact it kind of numbs the tounge and burns as it go’s down. Very nice and complex.
