Bottled. Cloudy pale golden. Candy aroma. Sugary sweet with light body and soft mouthfeel and notes of paper. As always for Huyghe it’s much, much too sweet to be drinkable. Commercial crap!

LCBO summer 2005 promo. Lightly hazy blonde with thin white head. Hall’s honey cough drop aroma, with chemical lemon notes. Overly sweet honey in mouth with strong notes of lemon juice. Reminds me of my mother’s miracle cure for digestion (water, honey, lemon juice). Except her’s taste better. This is way too sweet.

(Bottle 33 cl) When brewery "Biertoren" ceased to exist in 1993 Huyghe took over quite a few of the Biertoren range of beers - this is one of them. A "Tafelbier" - a light table beer. Pale golden with a small, white head. Hits you with a chocking, artificial sweetness from the added saccharine. Only barely drinkable. Belgian Tabelbiers can be a pleasant experince, but not this one. 060398

Off-white head, red-amber beer. Alcoholic-sweet nose, strongly perfumed. Some malts, coloured and other under all the alcohol-sweet onslaught. Very alcoholic and spicey taste: coriander, but also something else. Don’t know what, but it resembles sweet woodruff, ending in juniper. Despite the dilution by the alcohol, it’s still well-bodied. Alcoholwarming obvious. It’s quite OK, just nothing truly grand - which is a major victory IMO for this brewery.

Milky-white, fully hazy beer; small but persistent head, leaving lace. Nose is like opening a tin of coconut paste, and then some perfumed toiletsoap. Coconut milk with a little soupish finish. Slick, medium bodied. Absolutely awful metallic aftertaste, as if the tin can from the milk has been dropped in the kettle too. Less bad than thought (I might be a tad prejudiced towards this kind of experiment...) until this metallic aftertaste appeared. It is "unique", there’s no doubt.

A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and acidic notes of lemon. The flavor is dry woody combined with acidic lemon notes.

(Bottle 33 cl) Weird name, weird label (a pink and green hippopotamus) and weird....ahem....colour. This beer is green. Slightly hazy, decent white head. Rather light in body, slightly bitter finish but flavourwise not that much going on. The label claims "natural additifs" - well, I’m not so sure about the colour. 300198

Hazy dark amber, small off-white head. Dark burnt malty, plums and alcoholic flavor. Roasted malty flavor, chestnuts. Hoppy bitterness and coffee in the finish. Quite alcoholic too for only 6.2% beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Muddy grey, unpleasant colour with a fairly decent head. Nothing wrong with the flavour though: some caramel, with fruity, yeasty notes. Some sweetness from the candied sugars. Very soft mouthfeel. 070298

Hazy yellow, giant foamy head, lace. Aroma has lemon, sweet banana and yeast. Quite thin mouthfeel. Starts metallic, then has a burst of alcohol and spicey (coriander) acidy flavors. Nicely bitter aftertaste. Otherwise good tripel but needs more malty background.
