Bottle Clear, amber body. Off-white, creamy mostly diminishing head. Fair lace. Lightly sweet peach sirup aroma. Moderately sweet flavour. Although not as sweet as many other fruit beers, that are quite popular nowadays, but as Jors says, still to sweet.

(bottle) Pale golden colour with medium foamy white head. Citrus-fruity aroma with yeast and coriander tones. Quite dry flavour with a slight presence of alcohol. A very tasty brew, initially fruity and breadish malty with a long spicy finish.

(Bottle 37,5 cl). St. Louis is best known for it’s sweetened, filtered, "commercial" gueuze. But the label is also fond of this classical gueuze which is produced in very small batches. Almost completely flat and with no head. Pale golden and slightly hazy. It kind of looks like unfiltered apple juice. It has the correct gueuze-sourness but it lacks the extreme complexity in the aroma, which signifies the best gueuzes. 010403

The Kasteel Donker is one of my top beers, but I find that the Triple, while decent, does not live up to the quality of the Donker. Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer pours a medium golden color with a large white head. The mouthfeel is moderately thick. The flavor is very sweet with some spiciness, a bit of tang and a yeasty finish. There is alcohol burn on the finish as well. The spiciness lingers on the tongue.

Bottle: Poured a medium clear amber color ale with a huge white foamy head with good retention. Faint barnyard aroma can be detected as well as subtle sourness. Taste is sweeter then regular gueuze with some sweetness but no acidity. Complexity is quite low and I guess this would be more of a beginner gueuze then anything else.

Red- amber color; huge head. The aroma is vinous and quite sour. The taste is too simple, some (low) sweetness, very low sourness, no fruitness. Not the top.

An unclear yellow beer with no head. The aroma is of banana and wheat, while the flavor is of grapefruit, malt, and wheat. The body is thin.

Amber-orange beer; slim, amberish head. Woodpulp, liqueurish nose, as a fruitliqueur that could, with some indulgence, called peachy. Faint oak and even some lambic. Sweet-sourish fruity taste, again rather woody in character. Tastes like a dessert fruitwine, vinous character, not at all lambiclike anymore. Reasonably refreshing at first glance, but then there’s a bad, sticky feeling in the rear of tongue and throat. Bit syrupy, medium bodied. I have to conced this is much less terrible than expected. A drivers’ dessert wine, maybe? I know plenty that could be convinced. Still too sweet fro me.

Stunningly deep garnet red; pink cherry head. Part bonbon, part syrup, part real cherry nose. Again a mix of syrup, children’s fruit sweets and a, somewhat lemony, real fruit finish. An oppressive synthetic taste wafts over and through the beer, yet underneath some nice flavours try to struggle upwards. Why are they so thwarted? Bananaester. Quite slick, medium bodied, nearly refreshing. Nice acidity in the aftertaste - but tasting as citric acid. Mix of real and fake. Typical for the most commercial of family brewers?
