330 ml bottle. Finally! Unclear pale orange with a creamy head. Coriander seeds, orange peel, yeasty, banana, curaçao, some woodruff. Mild dry bitterness, some sweetness. Light bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry yeasty fruity crisp finish. What I expected from a Westmalle table beer, very drinkable, complex and crisp. Nice!

Bottled April 7, 2022, drunk from shelf on 6/1/23. Clear, light golden, amber tinged. Large, well-retained, white head. Nose is mega-fruity, with almost a witbier like playfulness, and matching spicy phenols. Honey-like malts seem well-attenuated. Clean, no alcohol or anything particularly crude. Clean, very yeast-driven, of course. Pale malts are well-attenuated, provide average depth. Dry on the finish with white bread, honey, white pepper and hints of bubble gum underneath big, round fruits. Nice for what it is and its size.

0,33 bottle.A hazy, golden-yellow beer in a nice bottle, with a remarkably loose, quickly disappearing head. Aroma: sparkling, pungent, flowery, but not too intense. Pungently carbonated, sparkling, dry, almost watery in this category. You can feel the hops, almost delicious, but for me it's somehow not enough, with this content it's not the best of the Westmalles.. And it's expensive to just drink it... Besides, it's an elegant, delicious, good yeast quality beer. I could imagine it with heavier dishes in a good restaurant...

Szép üvegben egy hazy, sárgaarany sör, feltünően laza, gyorsan apadó habbal. Aroma: pezsgős, szúrós, virágszirmos, de nem túl intenzív. Szúrósan szénsavas, pezsgős, száraz hatású, majdnem vizes kortgy ebben a kategóriában. Komlózás érezhető, szinte finom, de nekem ez valahogy kevés, ezzel a beltartalommal a Westmalle-k közül nem a legjobb.. Ahhoz pedig drága, hogy csak úgy ezt iszogassuk... Emellett egy elegáns, finom, jó élesztős minőségi sör. Nehezebb ételek mellé el tudnám képzelni egy jó étteremben...

For this abv and in this style, it’s as good as it gets from belgium. It does come across a bit to wit-like though. Bierkonig ams

Aus der Flasche (bottled 24.08.2022-bbe 24.08.2024) im 2023-05 getrunken. Dieses Pale Ale erinnert deutlich an ein Witbier mit seinem vorgründigen Hefe- und Citrus-Aroma. Ein einfaches, aber auch sehr klassisches Bier passend für den Sommer!
