Bottle, at Paters Vaeje, Antwerp, Belgium 06-10-06 and somewhere else later on. Warm golden colour with a medium foamy head. Some nice honey like aromas, and soft fruits. The taste didn’t depart from this too much either and was quite nice tasting, lighter and easier drinking than the strength would suggest it would. This was the favourite label and glass of Loz and Lynn, but no matter of persuaion could get the owner to part with this one.

Hazy orange with little quick disappearing white head. Aroma of malts, fruits (orange/citrus) & honey. Medium live carbonation. Sweetness with a spicy touch. Finish is pleasant with an easy hoppy bite.

Bottle at Carlsens "skvatter", Odense: unclear amber with white head. Aroma and taste of malts (wheat), spices & fruits (berries). Sweetness with a soft mouthfeel. Pleasant lasting finish.

I have no idea what the relation of this beer is to the "Pikkeling Tripel" "made" by brewery Paeleman. Hazy orange with faint olive shine; very white, medium head. Diacetyl. Diacetyl. Dia - oh and coriander, to add insult to injury. Coriander and diacetyl in the taste. Then, there is more coriander. God knows what it is supposed to mask. Medium bodied, very slick MF. To paraphrase a big Belgian brewer in Britain: reassuringly horrible.

Hazy brown-chestnut beer; small brownish head. Nice nose, simple but effective combination of alcohol(s) and hops. Burnt & roasted malts, but leaving space for still quite some restsugars. There’s some bitterness, leafy and slightly hoppy, but not really distinctive. Medium to well-bodied, some alcoholwarming. Not bad. For Boelens’ recent prestations, breathtakingly good, and certainly infection-free.

Bottled 2002 (christmas girl label) Reddish brown with little white head. Malty and fruity aroma from dried fruits. Very sour (like a beer rouge) - almost cherry like. Medium carbonation. The finish is sour and a bit bitter! Interesting and still drinkable but not the best "kerst" to hid in the basement!

Bottle - thanks to Mike (mds) for sharing! Deep brown to black, murky body. An off-white, creamy head. Smells a bit like a porter (or something in the stouty style, I was not sure - I’m ashamed I don’t know that much of these styles. Fortunately Mike (mds) said it looks indeed like a porter, so my stouty knowledge is apparently not that bad at all). The aroma had notes of liquor, fruits, flavour, fine malts like chocolate and straw, some alcohol (but despite the alcohol the complexity of the aroma is fare enough to get a 9 out of 10). Lightly bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet in the end. A little bit watery, but quite smooth. Drinks very easily.

Bottle. Amber beer with a nice white head. Nice yeasty aroma with a slight sweetness backing it all up - also some lemon and spice. Very smooth malts that are rounded out with a bit of honey and a light spicey flavor. A bit sweet in the finish.

Pours a pale golden colour with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with some spicy hints. Sweet malty flavor with some spicy hints leaving you with a dry finish.

Draught Fully hazy yellow-amber with pinkish shine; good, dense, whipped egg-white head. Strawberry nose as in ice cream or yoghourt flavouring. Faint sweet-sour. Taste impressy is malty, as in pale pilsener malt, with a background of, again, this artificial appearing strawberry flavouring. Thinnish texture, but with very markedly grist slickness. Well, this is a non-infected Boelens beer. But it could as well be one. Fawgh!
