Green 11.2 oz bottle. Slightly skunky aroma apon cracking the lid, however it was not offensive like some american beer skunk I’m familiar with. Once over that, it has the smell of any other wit. Pours really cloudy in my steeler stein with lots of things in there floating around. In the bottom of the bottle was a thick yeasty paste. The look is not as refined as hogaarden and is a little darker. Very good initial flavor and it is creamy in both texture and appearance. At first I thought I detected an ever so slight bitterness on the finish but perhaps not. No lingering aftertaste, just plain refreshing. Pretty good price too, only $1 at the beer store in Boardman Ohio.

A hazy orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is primarily of over ripe fruit, but also a hint of wood. The flavor is sweet and again with primary notes of over ripe fruit and wood. The body is a bit thin.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a dark amber with a slight haze and a creamy, off-white head. Complex aroma of overripe fruit. Full-bodied with delicious accents of marzipan and overripe fruit. Some caramel also. Very lovely, but not really a Dubbel. 170406

Deep chestnut-red beer; very creamy, beige head. Sweet, but especially malty nose, like fresh malts in the brewery. Saccharine sweet, but once again, extremely malty, grainy and bready, and a pinch of acidity at the end. Slick, not empty, but of course bit watery texture. This is the stuff to raise children upon - children that will be beertasters later. Pity about the saccharine, but the whole smells like a working German brewery. Heavy praise for such thing indeed.

Clear orange-amber beer with heavy pearling; small but consistent off-white head, leaving some lace. Alcohol, slightly burnt candi sugar, little bit of toffee; arachide and laurel. Generally sweetish to sweet nose. Burnt sugar again, not sweet this time. Bitterish without hops. There’s a slightly cloying retronasal taste that is just not sweet, just a wee bit malty. Markedly almondy warming up. Quite watery texture, reverting to more grist fill-in and a harsh burnt aftertaste. I’m sorry, but I just don’t dig the St. Gummarus twins.

Bright red to cyclamen colour; dense pinkish head leaving lace. Artificial sweet cherry, childrens’ sweets aroma, bit almondy or cherry stones, frangipane. Syrupy sweet taste, with a retronasal flavour of old, shriveled cherries. After some time, the marzipan-frangipane flavour dominates. Some syrupy slikcness; light to medium bodied with a slight, not entirely unpleasant titillating sensation. Way, way too sweet & artificial.

Orangey hued, pale-greenish beer with good, consistent white head. Perfumed, very coriander-determined nose. Perfumed, slightly soupy taste, with an orange flower flavour. Sweet-ish. Slick, grist MF, light to medium bodied; Just a tad too perfumey-sweet.

Pale gold; small off-white head leaving textbook lace. Soja-like nose, even soja shoots, and steamed rice + sweet grain in the nose. Basmate rice flavour!! Sweet, and just a hint of hops, fast gone. Crisp, though not like a maize beer would be. Not bad - and the Basmati rice flavour is an aroma, not an adjunct! Special name for a lager.

Draught Very huge, slightly yellowish head, leaving textbook lace; golden beer. Very dry, grainy smell, pinch of sweetness in the nose that makes it adjunct-like. Quite sweet, with yeasty and meaty touches, bit of pale malt. Light MF, slightly cloying feel. Bit boring pilsener, bit sweet, though nothing wrong.
