Bottle: Poured a golden colored beer with a huge bubbly head with minimum retention. Aroma is a mix of malt and spice in the traditional Belgian style. Taste is again a mix of malt with some spices (quite hard to figure out which one is actually included), which drags a bit too long at the end. Alcohol is well hidden, which is always appreciated. Carbonation is standard with a body that I was expecting a bit more strong. Overall, this is a good Belgian ale but not the best that I’ve tasted.

Hazy gold beer with a thick white foamy head which laces. Fruits, spices and yeast in aroma. Fairly intense taste of alcohol, but well balanced with malts/sweet. A little horseblaket quality (well my interpretation of horsblanket anyways). Overall, palate is a bit boring, with the alcohol coming out like rubbing alcohol. Thanks to Prez.

Cherry red beer with a nose of Halls cherry cough drop. Extremely sweet taste of Slush Puppy cherry flavour, with a tatrt finish. reminds me of my youth drinking fruit flavoured cream soda. Notice, there is an almost cheesy aftertaste in this, and makes you wonder! Still, thanks to Prez.

Hazy amber beer with a white head. Aroma of oranges, alcohol and yeast. Pleasant light flavour of curacao liquor or scotch, confectionner’s sugar and coriander. Good bodied, carries well the alcohol. a nice trippel. Thanks to Presario.

Blond color. Common aroma and taste. Brewed OK for being a mass lager, nothing else.

Very light color. Both the aroma (very light) and the flavor just have some straw character; residual sweetness. Useless.

Nice copper color. Unbelievable aroma: cheap chocolate, oranges, vanilla. Similar taste; sweet.
I had it 8 years ago, and I didn't want to buy this bottle again: thanks Jens (Ungstrup) for saving my money!
