Bottle, thx Fil for sharing with Ryan and me! Brown body, off-white head. Marzipan and cherry in the aroma, very Kasteelish. Sweet taste, light chocolate maltiness, some candyish cherries. Fake seeming but okay, it is exactly what it aimed to be.

A bit off but still quite drinkable. Extra notch because it's also almost as old as me.

Old rating from 20-06-16 - 330ml bottle brought back from Belgium last summer. Pours a pale gold colour with a huge foamy head. Aromas of grain, white fruit, yeast, ginger & lemon grass. Taste is on the sweet side and mildly bitter as well as fruits such as orange & peach, a hint of spice. The body is medium, average carbonation, aftertaste has a dry fruity bitterness.
