Das Bier riecht und schmeckt feuchtig, dabei aber nicht wie bei vielen anderen süß. Die leicht alkoholische Note, die später ins Herbe umschlägt, stört mich kaum. Das Bier ist insgesamt nur im Mittelteil würzig, besonders im Nachgeschmack hätte dies aber nicht geschadet, da dort nur ab und an ein malziges Aroma vorbeischaut. Ein sehr ausgewogenes, leider auch teils wässriges Bier... Test vom 15.9.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,10,10,9,8,11 - 9,85

I’m going to go against the grain on this beer. I thought it was very good and comparable to St. Bernardus. Aroma has coriander and other spices, citrus, and sweet wheat. Flavor is sour; more coriander, grapefruit, and some sugar. Considerable spice in this beer; more than many wit beers. Cloudy gold appearance with a thick white head. Medium palate. Tasted at Cellars; Roseville, MN.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Lots of hoppy flowers in aroma. Really good. Nice hoppy bitter flavor, average finish. Oily palate, strange european strong lager, but I really like this beer.

(Can 50 cl) Clear and very dark amber golden with a small, off-white head. Odd, perfumy nose. Medium body with sweet, malty accents and - again - perfume. Very alcoholic finish. Odd, but not that bad. 130806
Earlier Rating: 1/24/2006 Total Score: 2.9
(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful, reddish amber colour with a delicate, creamy, beige head that leaveas a pretty curtain of laces. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Full-bodied with a very sugary sweetness. Some slightly perfumy, fruity notes are hiding in the flavour making this a rather unusual strong lager. Rather discreet bitterness. 240106

Can. Pale golden, and topped by a small large-bubbled white head. Alcohol, sweet malt and fruity notes in the aroma. Flavor is much the same, but with some spicy notes in addition. Thin body and a long alcohol-dominated finsih with some spicyness. Whats the point? (060711)
