Pours clear, copper brown, small white head. Smell is weak, bit metallic. Taste is very sharp, very metallic as well, with an undertone of mildly sweet, earhty dark malts. Fine bitter touch to it as well. Hmm.. bit let down by this given the fine brewing shown in all other de vlier I had. This one is just too sharp and metallic.

Pours clear blonde, small to OK white head. Smell is malty, with a sweet undertone. Taste is bitter, intense, ful and sharp, grainy ( sweet, again I get a note of honey-like sweetness ) . Agreeable mouthfeel, and a decent carbo. Enjoyable !

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Stadin Panimobaari, 20150705) The beer poured reddish brown and hazy with floating bits. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, perfumes, malts and Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, sweetness, Belgian style yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, spicy and bitter. A weird spicy brew.
