Bottled. Dark yellow, cloudy. Port-like aroma of raisin and dried fruit. Sweet with short, clean mouthfeel and notes of brown sugar. After the interesting nose it fades out to a near metallic finish.

(Bottled) Pale orange, hazy colour. Nice head, good lacing. Big apple aroma. Lots of apple flavour. Too much apple. I kept having apple-burps hours after one bottle.

Amber, crystal-clear. White firm head. Nose of hopflowers, malty and a fine arome reminiscent of wet hay. Taste quite malty again, with flavours of cheesrind, and bitter surrounding. Medium-bodied. Quite OK, better as expected, as this beer is diacetylprone.

a light golden color with a thick head. Very similar to Duvel except in the aftertaste, the only difference between the two beers that I see/taste.

Bottled. After my experience with their chocolate beer my expectations weren't really on a Westvleterenish level. It poured orange coloured and cloudy with sweet strawberry jam aroma. The flavour is extremely sweet, and one-dimensional with fresh strawberry jam flavour. Like lemonade, only sweeter. Still, this is much, much better then their chocoalte stuff

(Brewed for Copimex-Colruyt, Halle) Clear brown. Thick brown head, immediately gone. Slightly acidic nose, wheat-ish. Something slightly artificial too. Taste is predictably very sweet. Fruit-sugar like, unhopped worts. Light mouthfeel, very clear palate. “Tafelbier” predates nablab’s by ages. It’s still superior to any of the modern lows, even when meant for children mainly. I cannot say this is bad, and calling worts nice. It’s more or less the same.

Pale yellow, good white head. Banana-sweets or -gums, artificially smelling. Nothing left besides, except a bit of chalk. Very sweet taste but with an immediate sourish surrounding. Banana-taste is better, less artificial than the smell, though. Light bodied. Slight acidity (fruit? carbonation?) makes it more refreshing than expected. Aftertaste: banana, rarara. Fore those amongst us with a real sweet tooth. Must confess I expected worse - much worse.

Clear pale yellow; thick, irregular head. Flowery nose, a bit spicey, some hops. Sweet taste, like scorzanera (salsifis) or mannah. Mouthfeel is refreshing, light bodied. Yes, nice, strange spicey taste calling up long-forgotten associations. But nothing to go rave about...

Blonde in colour, with a nice fluffy white head. Yeastie smell with not too much other aromas rising. The taste was fairly yeastie and also clovey and bananay. A typical wheat, but not the best representation i've had. A decent beer...good for a normal wheat, but this shouldn't be looked at as anything special. Sampled on tap at the Old Toad in Rochester, New York.
