(Bottle 25 cl) Beautiful, clear amber with a small head. Caramel notes but dry, not sweet nor bitter. Actually extremely well-balanced. If you want to drink a LOT of beer this is my recommended choice. Although not sophisticated in any way this is so much more satisfying than pils. Try it on tap in the typical "bolleke"-glass. 280993

Nice citrus aroma, excellent creamy head and amber colour. Long flavour finish. This beer was 5 moints over due, but that might be a good thing.

Bottle at the Montreal tasting, 3/6/05. Sharp, dry, astringent yeast nuttiness meets white mushrooms. I’d like to write more about the aroma, but there wasn’t much more to write about. Some grassy, almost earthy bitterness? Certainly no malt. Fairly clear, amber-auburn body, with light copper tinges and a moderate amount of lightly fizzy off-white head. Flavor is dry and severely astringent, with notes of chalk, tin, rust and a strange, lightly sour, regurgitated toffee flavor (sweet bile). Body is a pretty standard medium, with no thinning or wateriness, but after tasting the flavor, it’s a moot point. The carbonation is too rough and disruptive, as well. This stuff will make many drains very happy! (or sad, if your sink has a demanding palate). It’s sad, but this beer would have fit in well at the swill tasting the night before. Oh well, I guess even Belgium has its swill.

On tap at Pub Italia. Dark amber ale with a thick off white head. Strong apple and beeries in aroma. Rather oxidized malts and sweetish maple notes, with some german style hoppiness. Medium bodied. Very slightly above average. 6-3-5-3-11 Bolleke at Oude Arsenaal, May 2005. Red amber ale with a thick off white head. Sweet perfumey aroma of rosewater and sweet vanilla. Sweet maple-like sugar, with delicate nuttyness, very floral in mouth, like rose petals. 8-5-8-4-15
