7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Sampled at the Southside Beer Expo. Clody yellow with a fluffy head. Taste is tart and citrusy, more so than one expects from a Belgian.

(draught) Thick yellowish/orange head, leaving lace; (cold) hazy pale amber beer. Spicey nose (pepper, Grains of Paradise?) touch of diacetyl; bit of citrus, ambrée malt obvious. Taste again diacetyl, and quite some too. Burnt malt, even scorched sugar. There is however a fresh, spicey taste overlying, as from mild garden herbs. Cold makes it difficult to assure! Light to medium bodied. Bit metallic aftertaste, not realy disturbing. It’s an OK beer, even the diacetyl is within acceptable limits. But it ain’t a great one. I’d hate to taste this one aged, I’m afraid. Still, for Huyghe... (there's no more real brewing at de Halve Maan)

Bottle: Poured a yellowish beer with a nice bubbly head that disappeared a bit too quickly. Aroma is quite stranger with some sweetness from fruit coming out but also some kind of malts. Taste is very sweet with all the fruit coming out at first and then that very weird malt taste hitting you and left me bewildered. Overall, I feel this is not as bad as some of the previous review but again not a world class fruit beer.

A hazy orange beer with a beutiful white head. The aroma is of peach, pineapple, and berries - what is ninkeberries? The flavor is sweet - like a ninkeberry-sodapop. The body is thin and this combined with the high sweetness makes me feel, this is more a soda, than a beer.

Deep brown body. Brownish frothy head, mostly diminishing. Aroma of some kind of cleaning-product, I think "Mr. Propre Wood-fresh". Lightly sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly sweet finish. Good flavour, but nasty aroma.

Bottled. Pale yellow. paper aroma. Medium bodied. Sweet with rounded mouthfeel, low bitterness. Very much lacking in character.

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
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.
