Bottle as a gift. Thanks! Light gusher, strong carbonation. Hazy blond colour. Very dry, grassy and hoppy bitter.

Fles gekocht bij lokale aardbeien teler in Rijsbergen. Roodbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is verrassend goed, niet overdreven zoet en zeker niet chemisch met toch duidelijk iets van aardbei. Wat mij betreft een van de betere fruitbieren.

Bottled (backlog). Nut brown colour with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of raisins, burnt sugar, some toasted chocolaty and a bit alcohol tones. Flavour is yeast, raisins, some toffee and dried fruits. Rather complex.

Bottled. Ruby colour with a small pink head. Aroma is red wine, some wood, almonds, cherries and mild tartness. Flavour is tart cherries, wood, some almost tannine like dry tones with mild nutty elements. Quite nice sweetish sour thing. I believe this could work warmed up too.

Bottle found in my cellar in 2017, most likely picked up from my latest Belgian trip, or maybe from some webshop. ABV is 8.5 % on the bottle. Rubyish amber colour leaning a bit towards brown too, small off-white head, which still leaves some slight lace. Aroma is sweet malts, spices, mild alcohol, some raisins and mild toffee. Flavour is sweet malts, some herbs, raisins, mild spiciness and some mild alcohol sweetness too.
